Looking Up In 2010

The sky was beautiful to day. We all get a little distracted in our busy lives and sometimes its hard to remember to slow down and enjoy the little things as the days goes buzzing by. You know its always right there up above ever present like so many things in our life that we seem to forget or glaze over in our day to day race. I've been thinking about this a lot lately with things going on in my life and have been making a point to clear my head, slow down and enjoy all life has to offer.
So I'm starting out the new year in the right frame of mind..... With new Ideas swirling through my head. I'm excited about what's next! Some things in the mix........ new designs for tiles, new glazes, a new clay body I've been working on and some fresh imagery on pots. But as I do all this I plan to take the time to take a deep breath clear my head and look up...........

Working,Working,Working, so glad I love what I do!!!

You know some days just seem to go on forever and weeks too, so I take a deep breath or two then I remember how much I love what I do! The past few weeks I've felt like this. This Time of year is always like this, tis the season!!! Anyway so far this month I have fired two loads of tiles, one gas fired kiln of pots and there is one more firing today. All this in preparation for The Celebration of Seagrove Potters. Last year was the first year and it was crazy busy. Its friday night 20th and the 21 and 22nd. I'll leave you with a few pics of judson helping me unload the kiln on monday. He loves helping unload the kiln and this time he filled up his little red wagon and pulled them in the studio, he's becoming my little helper!! To night I'll be setting up for the Celebration, hope to see you all there!!
