February in Nova Scotia can be hard. As a Crafts person I’m suppose to look forward to winter when sales drop and allow for a little down time. This is when I ought to be making new and exciting pieces. Oh winter, so many expectations covered in snow. My studio is cold, my glaze area/back yard is colder. Enough complaining, I’ve promised myself that this year I would embrace winter and love it. Tea and soup help.
So I’ve been working on a few new pieces nothing I’m totally pleased with yet but its only February 4th so I have nearly two months to go before I really need to start getting ready for a Halifax Crafters Show. I’ve redesigned my teapot, and am trying to make a butterdish. Why I have picked the two most challenging items to work on in February is not really a mystery. I made the decision that the Teapot and butterdish would be the outcome of my winter hibernation back in December before the snow started to stick around, and I was still enjoying the crispness in the air. And because Neale wants a butterdish for his Mom.
