My world has been sideways for about two months. I will not elaborate on a blog ... it's personal. I haven't been able to work much, and I missed an important show. But things are starting to feel routine again. Normal is different now, but normal is good. I've been throwing pots like mad, starting with those everyday functional pots that please me so much. And lots of them. My back and my wrists hurt, I was out of shape. I'm tired but I feel thankful. I have five shows, six wholesale orders, and three workshops to hurdle before the end of the year. I am determined not to miss any of them.
