I have found, this past week, that work is much like picking up a large greasy bowling ball. It is hard to get a hold of, even harder to hold on to. Jim has been in the studio and we have concentrated our efforts on getting the front room into a store front. I took some pictures. We were using it as storage, shipping, and just about anything else we could dump in there. These pictures are worse than it was as we had to move a bunch of crap, or should I say quality items around so we could paint. The problem was there were far too many quality items, a number of them found their way to the dumpster out back.
Here are the pictures of before.
The whole sale show is closer to being done than we had thought. There are a lot of pots in the studio now that we have the front room cleaned out and new shelves put up. I have 3 orders to get out, should have been done, but I have been busy trying to lift that slippery big ball. It has been a conflict of energies and the new shop won over production orders. Tomorrow I will get closer to the groove than I have been all year. I even have hopes of falling into it.
It is now tomorrow and I got close to the groove today. I had some calls to make. Had a visit from Company’s Coming, we put stuff in their cookbooks. After that I did the trimming that needed to be done for the production stuff, then I played with some vases.
I could or should have thrown the ever dreaded mugs, but tomorrow is another day.
Here are the pictures of the studio, same views. These are during. We are working on lights and as of yet we only have our pots and the wholesale line is not complete.
Until next time.
