Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

Nope. I haven't learned a new lagnguage. Although I wish I knew the language of frustration so maybe I could tell it to fork off. I'm feeling devalued at the moment. Not least of which, I've been told my pottery prices are too high to sell wholesale. There are many reasons that I don't agree with this. But, I've lowered my wholesale pricing in the hopes that I sell more and now I really I hope that I don't feel too bad about doing so. Over the past year I've come close to taking a hyatus from pottery. The frustrations have just been really getting to me. I'm not going to list them all. I'm stuborn though. That's why I wont quit and also why its hard. I hate to give in on the things that I've set as principals for myself. Such as show ethics. I hate playing the games. The games are part of the reason I really want to wholesale. I need to make money, it is a job afterall. I want to drop the shows that I have to play the most games to be there. I'm tough, I'll beat this. 
To make myself feel better I figured I would take a couple of hours off and spin. Its not helping. I decided to do a roving that I didn't exactly care for the color of and I like the yarn even less. I didn't like it from the get-go so I think I was more careless and it felted a bit. So I had extra prep work to get to spin it and its just plain ugly. 
I hope these rovings turn out better. The blue/green is one of the colors slated for M's spring sweater. The other is a superwash that I hope will turn out to be really interesting for socks. Yes, socks. Always socks. More and more socks. In fact right now, I'm going to work on a pair of socks for myself and ignore the spinning I need to do.
