Beach Clocks
The holiday rush is OVER … and I survived. I’m not even sure how many clocks, pendants & tabletops we shipped out these past few months, but the Fed Ex guy was starting to feel like a member of the family. I felt a bit like an overgrown elf, slaving away for Santa, working 16+ hour days fueled by high octane cappuccinos & an almost blinding fear that I wouldn’t make the Christmas deadline. Well, the rush is over & I survived … all the clocks, pendants & tabletops left my studio in time to make it to their spots under trees across the country!
And now the fun part … I can finally share some of the projects I created for clients over the past few months. I’ve been dying to show off some of my work, but didn’t want to spoil any surprises. Now that all the gifts have been lovingly wrapped & hastily unwrapped, I can actually show off some of my favorites.
Sometimes a photo just sings to me … like this one.
There’s just something about a dog on the beach that makes me smile.
This is Cookie … a real beauty!
Isn’t she adorable with the wind blowing through her hair?
The canine version of a romance novel covergirl.
I swear … this is the happiest dog I have ever seen!
Looking at him, I just want to pack it in & move to California.
I even miss the Jersey Shore!
This is one of my favorite dog clocks of all time!
HAIRY (that’s really his name) On The Beach.
I guess I’m tired of winter already … there seems to be a real beach theme going here.
Ok, I’m going to wrap this post up. I haven’t quite gotten the hang of inserting photos yet. This whole blogging thing is a little out of my realm … hopefully it will get easier.

The holiday rush is over!
It seems fitting that my first blog post should come right after the holiday rush. I have to admit, I am pretty pooped but I had so much fun working on all of my clients’ orders. We haven’t done the final count yet but I know I sent out many more clocks this year than last, so it seems my little idea is catching on.
So, now it’s on to the new year! We’ve got lots of exciting plans. The first thing I need to do is to figure out how this darned blogging thing works. Oh my!
Actually, the big change for this coming year is that I will no longer be going to shows as a lone wolf. Eric & the Pugs will be joining me. We’ll have to figure out how to rework the booth so everything will fit into the SUV … two Pugs & all their gear take up a LOT of room. And, of course, we’ll have to keep our fingers crossed that Smooch & Buster will behave themselves while at the shows. They are just a wee bit “high strung” … actually, they are a LOT high strung & they both seem to thing that the sun & moon revolve around them. Wish us luck! It should be interesting …
As for the other changes coming up, you’ll just have to check out future blog posts.
So, speaking of future blog posts, I guess I should give you some idea of what to expect to see here. I will most certainly be showing off lots of my work & giving advice on taking & selecting photos for clocks, tables & pendants. I’ll also be posting photos taken along the road. We’re going to be doing lots of traveling & I’m pretty sure we’ll see some amazing things. Other than that, who knows what will show up here.
So, you’ll just have to check in from time to time to see what’s going on with The Clock Lady. For now, I want to wish everyone, especially all of my wonderful clients, a very Merry Christmas!
JoAnn – You did a wonderful job! Hairy’s clock is beloved by the recipient (my husband) and the kids just smile every time they pass the clock – hung prominently in our living room. Thank you, too, for the quick turn-around. I know I added to your elf-stress
, but know your effort was very much appreciated.
