my week

I've been in the studio nearly all of my awake hours this week. I put together a little collage above to share what is going on in there! Clockwise from top left:

• i filled my bakers rack from top to bottom on every shelf for the first time ever (this picture didn't quite capture that!)
• you asked, I answered, mugs WITH handles
• Marley in the snow showing off her big ears
• brushes for glazing
• my beautiful new kiln is now up and running

I now have 19 work days until AltCraft so the making is in overdrive. I am so honored to have been selected for this show and for this section that I want to make an amazingly strong showing. I even bought fabric to make a new table cloth and hopefully a new sign. I know we are at the weekend but I think I'll just keep working. And for those who think I work too much, please keep in mind that some people take pottery classes to relax, just imagine how blissed out I am in a sea of pots that I created myself. And to look around and see my little business growing from an idea I had 12ish years ago. But here are a few things I do to keep myself centered:

• yoga in the morning
• lots of water drinking
• listening to music while I work
• play breaks & walks with Marley
• 7-8 hours of sleep each nite
• im-ing with friends
• enjoying what I do

Have a terrific weekend, work or play!
xoxo, Linda
