Welcome to My Blog!

My name is Sandra. This is my first blog so please bear with me! I'm new to this form of media. Just a little about me - I love to make almost any kind of craft. I show and sell my crafts at shows - most notably, the twelve day "Southern Christmas Show" in Charlotte each November. I make clay jewelry of all types, handmade soap, handbags, etc. My newest passion is felting - I'd love to hear from you if you like felting! I've designed and am working on some felted handbags. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. I love to "rescue" old wool sweaters and make them into handbags and then felt things on them. I also love making goat's milk soap! Again, let me know if you make soap. Quilting is another passion of mine. I recently made another trip to Gastonia to Mary Jo's...if you've never been, you have to go! They have every fabric, every color, and every thing you could possibly need. Finally, I really enjoy working in clay. Most of my jewelry pieces are made from clay and fired in a kiln. (not polymer)

Today is a very rainy day in North Carolina. They say it will change to snow tomorrow! We'll see. I had planned to make soap today, but rainy, humid weather is not good for soap making. I guess I'll go work in clay instead. Or maybe I should do like Fred and find a comfy couch to stretch out on! I promise some more pictures soon!
