You are welcome

We were scheduled to have a new roof put on the house starting yesterday.
It rained.
Today and through most of this week the weather is calling for rain off and on.
If you needed it, you are welcome.
If you didn't need it, my apologies.

From what I can "gauge" from the extended forecast we might get this done next week.

What else do we have to do but wait.
Wait and make pots.
Roofs cost money, so I am told.
They cost sugars jars.

 and creamers,

 and a boat load of these wee cups.

  This afternoon I loaded up a bisque kiln to fire tomorrow and it took forever since we both made production pots last week. I was ready to walk away when I realized that I only needed about 6 pots and I would be finished.
So I hung in for the long haul and the rewarded myself by dragging Mark over for a quick walk at the zoo.
Did you know that people actually go there?
When we are there early in the morning we don't see anybody.
But, apparently real people go there everyday, go figure.

 I am still out leaf peeking to see if there are any of the caterpillars left.
There are still a few in the leaves. I found one inside of this leaf yesterday.
I pulled over a ladder, climbed up to the top and pulled over the leaf to look down inside.
Yep, there was a cute caterpillar down there.
Today, I could not find him/her anywhere.
It seems that I need to sleep outside if I am going to find out where they are going.
They are real tricksters.


 

 Mark is working on lamps, vases and large ginger jars.
Me, I am working on tiles.
I think I could do tiles full time if I could find a good market for them.
Every time I finish a round I think of  another pattern I want to try.

Cheers,
M
