First custom order and what happpens!!!!

Well, I had my first custom order for a ceramic yarn bowl. No problem.  I got busy on my wheel and threw two very nice bowls for the pieces I wanted. I was satisfied and I let them dry and trimmed them and proceeded to get them to the studio to fire them. I wrapped them carefully in some material and placed them on the front seat of the truck. I even made sure to tell a certain someone to be careful that my pottery was sitting there. I moved them because he didn't want them in the truck since he was going deer hunting early in the morning. I got in the house and was unwrapping them, only to discover that he had cracked and broken both bowls. Just the customer's pieces, not the ones I had made miscellaneously. It took me a while to get over being mad at him, but I finally did. Now I just have to make more and buy some new clay, cause I'm out! $60.00 gone-poof!

Sunday Excitement

Well today was very fun and exciting for the simple reason I had an order on my Etsy shop. Not that it was ordinary, it was special in a new way. I received an order fro one of my pottery pieces all the way from London, England! How cool is that! Very cool seeing how the Olympics are there presently! I thought that was really pretty neat and lots of fun. Made my day and me me feel really good. Yippee!<big grin> more later tomorrow, nite all.

Storms, rain wash internet service away.

This is where I would post my sarcastic smiley face!Stay tuned more to come later, bfn, Cinda
