All Fired Up

And so it goes ... this year I've gone from doing nothing (thank you Covid) to booking myself sideways!  Yes, back on the show circuit and trying to get myself back into the swing of working daily, and what plans I have ... First, it's the Shoreline Artists...

Good question! The last couple of years have been REALLY hard.  First I had to cancel all of my classes (and pay everyone back, argghhh), then I actually got friggin Covid, then had to bring my Mom here to live because her programs were cancelled in Toronto, then...

In this wonderful computer age of ours when you sort of, maybe, get something figured out ... they change it.  "They" in this case, is Wordpress, my nemisis.  Lucky for me I don't have many others, BUT trying to keep the website sorted has turned into a bit...

A new year is upon us, and for me this time of year would usually be filled with PLANNING and I'd have my wall-type Calendar filled with lesson schedules and workshops.  This year I didn't even buy one!   I've cleaned the studio, and my throwing...

Well, for a change, that does not mean that I am actually moving house!  Just that I'm changing focus and finally selling my pottery wheels.  Why sell the wheels?  Because if they are sitting there I can not help myself from actually using them, or...

Seems to be that's my motto ... an opportunity comes along for exploration and I've got to try it.  Doesn't matter whether I have any experience in that medium.  It's just let's go! And, it's happened again.  One of the members of the Shoreline Artists...

Yup, that's what computers are ... at least that's my story for the past few weeks.   First, I got some kind of virus -- which lasted longer than the common cold, and the computer went in for a giant clean up, browsers cleared, favorites deleted -- along with my...
