We got up early this morning, Jim has his first shoot with the city today. They are doing some educational filming for them.
Up at 5:00 AM and out the door on time. Since the kids are gone for spring break, I was going to get a jump start at work and go with him. We had the truck loaded with all the equipment and ready to go last night, but this morning a tire was flat, so we unloaded the the truck and loaded the old tired car. It doesn’t look as good as the big black van. I am waiting for Roadside Assistance to come and change my tire. Warranty is nice. So when I told Jim to go, I will stay and fix the truck, it is not all that difficult.
We got some coat trees and other iron work in yesterday. They are very cool. Since both kids went in oposite directions, we gave each one a digital camera, so you will just have to take my word for it. Kaileigh is in Italy on a class trip, John who is not old enough, he has be be in grade 10, is in northern BC. Kaileigh is going to see the Colusium and John is going to Walmart………..next year he is in grade 10. Anyway the coat trees will hold the scarves, bags and jewerly. I am excited about the store. I would more excited if more people were comming in.
I got another wholesale order yesterday. I glazed a load for the 16, made a glaze. I like to make a large batch. I make glazes in 30,000 gram batches. That way when you put it in a garbage can, everything fits. You can dip just about anything. Today I will glaze another load for the 16 and when I unload tomorrow, I can turn around and load right away. I want this stuff out by the end of the month, it will be close enough.
The tire guy should be here soon. I will get off here and go to work, now that “I” have fixed the truck.
Until next time.

This program has a quirk (couldn’t be me). It has a way of throwing out your potblogs. If I go to spell check, or whatever, and come back, the blog magically disappears…. Bummer… The first time I did it, it was a mistake, the second time was not so smart, and then the third time… well I am nice girl…. darn nice girl… I will try and post this one. If I don’t you will never know.
Studio life has been busy. Jim is seldom there anymore he is working hard on his new venture. It is looking good, with many prospects,and I am just making pots.Things are selling like hotcakes at the Legislative Assembly Gift Shop. I have picked up a new wholesale client in Iqaluit. Some regulars have ordered and most of them are close to done. The store front is slow. I had one paying customer Friday and one today. The nice thing about pots is if they buy a big one, it only takes one or two customers a day.
PT Barnum said ” Without promotion, something terrible happens, Nothing” He was right. I am planning a Grand Opening May 6, I have given product for three silent auctions in April and have one for May. As soon as all our stuff comes is in we will send out a press release. It is not happening as fast as I wanted it to, the signs are not bringing in as many people as I had hoped, but it will come together. I have to keep in mind that everything has it own rhythm and timing, and it is seldom what I think it should be.
It is late, I had planned to post some pictures of the snow storm we got last week, but they will wait until another day. I think I will go to bed before this small blog goes off to the Twilight Zone with the last three.
