Happy New Year

Well it's that time of year when after what has been quite a long break it is time to get back in the studio. Considering that I do something really pleasurable you'd think that this would be easy and yet it isn't. My husband has a 9-5 job and he didn't want to go back either, the difference being that he didn't have any choice. Whereas I had a long list of things that somehow I could use to justify not getting back to the coal face - or in my case clay face.

I do know that once I get going what I do gives me great pleasure and yet still I resist. I also know that the way to deal with this is to turn up. Get the bag of clay out and start doing something. And keep turning up. Get the heating back on, put the radio on (radio 4 in my case), and roll out some clay to make a barrel load of cufflinks and a different style of earring to the usual ones. It's a modest start but I'm back in action.
