Out of the Long Dark


It took much longer this year to come out of The Dark but the sun is shining, the sky is blue and small green tips are poking their way out of the still frozen ground.  So first a few mugs, then of course, the handles and we're on our way.  The bin is full of clay that's been pugged over the past few weeks and the first custom order of the year came in today.  No excuses now.  

This year I'm cutting back - only 3 firings instead of 5 - so less pressure, more time for the garden and  the good bits of ordinary life.  Here's to spring and a couple of good firings!!
