The bursts of rain continue. Meanwhile, a monster truck arrived with a monster crane and delivered the roof beams. A monster truck which crawled up a quarter mile drive --and around a hair pin turn -- backwards--then forward up through the second hairpin turn. A monster truck with a very good driver.
The boys scampered up to get the beams placed in correctly -- so that a tarp could be laid over them to prevent further water damage to the wine cellar.
Days like this, these kind of hard core, in your face, it-was-going-well-but-it's-not-right-now days, leave me only one option. To spend all my time doing this
(latte cup in the making as part of a commissioned order to go to Alaska)...
...and this....(bathroom backsplash mosaic tiles before glazing - I am up to 220 and counting)..
and these (muesli bowls before glazing on commission to go to Zurich)...
and these( candle sticks and dinner plates to go to South Carolina and Zurich on commission and a few for my new up and coming Etsy shop, thrown and painted, waiting to be glazed)....
I thank the heavens and the moon and the stars and the creator of it all for this small studio where I can leave cranes and monster trucks and cement and sand and flooded wine cellars behind. Oh, yeah, Gratitude Friday on Monday. You bet. Yes.

Yup, a room of one's own is something to be thankful for.
I'm reading a book called "The Age of Comfort," which talks all about private spaces to go create, rejuvenate, and be oneself as a throughly modern idea that emerged from Paris in the late 17th century. . .
Hope you are enjoying your day!
Glad work is progressing despite the weather.
Also, your pottery is going so well!
Can't wait until you get your Etsy shop open! So exciting.
