Very Busy!

Sorry it has been over a week since I last posted.  My blog has taken a back seat to my sale.  I have been working on a lot of things.  I have been throwing, trimming, firing, glazing, pricing, and getting everything together for my sale.  This first sale is taking a lot out of me.  I did not realize how many little things you have to think about and be prepared for.  I think the next two will be a lot easier.  10 more days to go.  Well here are a few pictures of what I have been up to. 





I did a set up of my display so I could figure out what I need to get and to get an idea of how to set everything up.  On the sale day we have to be set up by 7:30am so it is going to be an early day and I am not a morning person.  So the more I have organized the easier it will be for me.

Glaze Firing

Today I unloaded my kiln and reloaded it with glazed work.  It should be done firing tonight.  I will have one more glaze firing before my show on May 21st.

I have a lot of things to do to get ready for my upcoming show.  So I will be busy this next week.  My Mother is going to come over and we are going to do a mock set up of my booth.  So I will be prepared for my early morning set up.  My shelves are also empty so I will have to start throwing pots again.  I have been slacking in that department because of a small injury.  So it is not by choice.  But it is putting me behind schedule because I have another show in June.   Empty shelves.....

Time to get busy.
