People are strange.

We won The Best Bet Award from the Canadian Toy Testing Council and still not that many people are interested in the purchasing the kits. Well, that is not entirely true. Kids really want the kits. We did the Christmas show Make It last weekend and the kids that saw them were very excited about getting one, the parents however, not so much. Few would buy them. They told the kids great idea and they would pick it up on the way out, or would get it later. Not one "be back" came back. I think there are a few reasons that they are not selling as I had hoped. One is the mud. The parents see a ball of mud going into their house and simply don't want the dirt. Another is that they don't see the benefits of creativity and three dimensional thinking. The parents grew up with computers and TV, two dimensions. We sell more kits to grand parents than parents. Strange.

Here is our booth at Make It.

Another thing I found strange is our Facebook. Earlier this month we wished everyone Happy Diwali and lost a liker. Wednesday we wished people Happy Hanukkah and lost another liker. Everyone all over the world works with clay and has celebrations this time of year. We will wish everyone  Merry Christmas in a few weeks and will see if we lose a liker then as well.

What is not so strange is we are slowly getting ready to move. We just got our gas meter in Thursday. Now that we have heat we can turn on the water.With heat, water and lights we can finally get in the house and get to work. We had hoped to go down the end of the week.  We have only two days of workshops left as Mr. and Mrs clay. We had booked today and tomorrow but a nasty storm is hitting the province and bringing some very cold temperatures, snow and wind with it. We will hold off until it passes and and have the workshops Thursday and Friday. After we are done there we will  head down to Coutts .....later..... when the weather is warmer as we have outside work to do as well as the inside. I look around this place and look at all that still has to be done to get ready to go....sigh......

Until next time.
