Snowed-in Birthday Sale!

Not too uncommon for me, the weather man says I should probably plan to spend my birthday (January 24) snowed in. I think I liked this idea when I was a kid but somewhere along the way it lost it's charm. Someday I hope to celebrate another year of life in the southern hemisphere with a picnic and swimming but this year will most likely include coconut tumeric milk and a roaring fire. 

I'll kick off a week long Birthday Sale in my Etsy shop on Sunday, Jan. 24 with new work, one of a kind pieces and old favorites. Use the coupon code BDAY2 when you are checking out for 20% off all total purchases. 

The outlook

Ice has melted (for the most part), electricity restored and yet another storm is headed our way. There seems to be a pattern now that about every 3-4 days something frozen falls from the sky. My husband has missed so many days of school, and his school year extended so far into June, that our summer plans have been majorly impacted. We thought we were headed back to Saint Helena again this year but thats looking less and less likely all the time.

Meanwhile, my polymer pasta roller gave up the ghost. Ok, let's be honest, I'm a little rough on tools. I got my new one in the mail in 2 days as well as a supply of wire and clay so I am good to go as long as we keep electricity.

If my husband has no school for several days this week, he'll take care of homeschool and I get to work in my studio. You always have to look for the silver lining?
