Back to pots...

My end of year paperwork is completed and I have emerged from my cave. Now it's time to restock the Etsy shop and get back to making pots. The dining table is once more converted into a photo taking set up. Last night I spent some time with it.

Remember the mugs that were supposed to have white dots? I have decided that I do like them in blue.

Another fishy bank is in the Etsy shop. This one is a little different design.

I can't seem to get away from making these dotted flower mugs. I had an order for one, so of course I made a few. I really do enjoy making these, although I prefer them wood fired. The good thing about this glaze and slip combo is that it is very consistent, it always behaves! If it happens to be in a cold spot in the kiln, it re-fires very nicely.

 Now that I have emerged from the cave, I do wish the sun would shine.

The Meesh Cave

This is where I have been spending one half of the day lately. Sitting at my desk, wading through paperwork. I am determined to stay on top of things this year. So far I am off to a good start. My desk is actually the clearest it's been in a year! Of course you can't see that I have file folders spread out all over the floor. I really don't mind doing the paperwork that goes along with being in business... it's the getting started that's the hard part. The studio is always calling me and it's voice is a lot louder than the office.

My desk is upstairs in our bedroom, or should I say Sophie's bedroom. She seems a little put out that I am invading her space! I wonder if I could teach her to do some filing?
