Happy New Year's Eve! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and  that everyone has something fun and safe planned for tonight. I am having a happy day pottery wise. I found an old drafting table that is the right height and great size for my garage studio. It cost a cool 45 bucks so I am one step closer to having my home studio up and rolling. I got to spend a little time with my sweet dad. He has an old pickup truck and had to haul the drafting table home. Then we took the old lawn mower to have it repaired. Hot time in Dixie. While I was bombing around with Dad my husband called to tell me that I had received a called from the studio that ALL of my pieces had sold! Of course, I have to wonder who bought them. Did the instructors and my classmates feeling sorry for me and so they bought them? Am I pitiful or what? Anyway...I avoided the untold humiliation of having to go pickup all my unsold pieces. Whew! So, I guess I am officially a professional potter. Now I just have to master the craft. Here's to 2014!
