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.

I spend my days eating Bon Bons
I bet you didn’t know that.
I sit on my ass doing nothing more productive than eating little candies and watching TV.
Um, right.
It’s a joke in my house but something that was said at the craft show clearly wasn’t a joke. Another crafter’s hubby was complaining at having had to be at the show all weekend because HE had to go back to work on Tuesday. He didn't feel that his wife and I had the same responsibility. I can't speak for his wife but, I tried explaining that I still worked. I still had pottery to create and sewn orders to fill. Not to mention the 3 year old I had to care for. In return for my effort, I got a blank stare.
I could continue with this rant but if you know me its stuff you've all heard a million times.
Speaking of work. I picked up another show. I’m going to Rhinebeck the end of this month. That means I’m working a bit more on the pottery. I’m trying to separate myself from production style pottery and move more towards sculptural items weather they are utilitarian or not. I’m almost at the point where I could fill a whole booth with strictly “artsy” items and not need to bring the production beauties too. I've felt like I've lost my artsy self but am working hard to regain my imagination and creativity in my pottery. I'm still waiting for that lightbulb moment that usually means I've found it.
I did a bit of spinning to relax last night. Lately I have been doing a bit more spinning but last night I was compelled. I had dyed some roving before I left and I just had to start spinning it up. Its only a test but I think I want to make a ton of this colorway.

The photos are still a bit crappy. Someday I'm sure we'll have sun again. Right?
