1 week

Just one more week 'til I head down to Baltimore for the ACC show. I had a little set back this week and needed to take a sick day. What bad timing, I slept for an entire day and I admit I didn't feel the least bit guilty as I was indeed sick. Now I am back on track, well, sort of, my firing schedule is off and I am not sure if everything will make it to the show. I will need to prioritize the pots this weekend. Just a small note on tea cups and mugs, once again I am a bit low however, I do have about 10 mugs, yes with handles, all pretty and ready for you! And I have tea cups in nearly every pattern. I will bring all that I have. What might not make it are some of the platters. It's a firing issue, each one needs it's own shelf, so if I can somehow get them all fired even if they are cooling when I leave. I will try to have someone bring them to me. I am now throwing the large round platters and they are coming out so nicely, with a neatly trimmed foot and a slightly deeper dishy-ness to it. I was pressing them on a hump mold and carving the backs but secretly wished they were thrown and now they are!!! Sometimes I am my own obstacle.

In non-studio news, we did get out to see Slumdog Millionaire, it was so good and the soundtrack is equally as awesome. There are certain movies that come around that I need to see in the theater and this was one of them, definitely a must see. I hope to get out to see more as each time I do go see a movie I remember how much I love the big screen! and, date night! Oh yes, dinner out was had!

now back to the studio : )
