As I sit here at my desk in Cambria this morning, I'm sipping coffee in my favorite Phyliss-made mug!... Then, it'll be back to cleaning, unpacking, packing up old stuff, more cleaning, unpacking...

Serendipity stepped in right after I received your comment. My sister, a quilt artist, called and announced she was moving her stuff out of a gallery and did I have a place for it... While I normally wouldn't want quilts around the studio, we talked it over and are planning a holiday show together.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your suggestion!Patricia Griffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11205981725964222971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764585642593633576.post-73928089013194167122008-10-26T06:27:00.000-07:002008-10-26T06:27:00.000-07:00Hi All!

I know when I try to do too much, everything starts to go wrong, good luck with your move and your new studio that is so exciting.<BR/><BR/>I think just making a presence at the sale on main street with a few things will be fine as you are a "new" business and a sign saying that and/or photos of other work you have produced would let folks shopping know there is more to come.Linda Starrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764585642593633576.post-37875274812933392972008-10-22T17:09:00.000-07:002008-10-22T17:09:00.000-07:00Chill Baby Chill!Phylisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07662070432103702177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764585642593633576.post-69376333974538515602008-10-22T14:17:00.000-07:002008-10-22T14:17:00.000-07:00Thanks everybody.

You have been busy! I agree that sometimes it's best to let pots take a break for a while until you can focus more of your energy on making.

I can totally relate to where you're coming from right now. As I write this, I have movers in my house packing up all our stuff! My husband and I are headed from Maine to Northampton, Mass. I have already begun trying to get myself in a mental space where I can say "it's okay not to make things from clay for a couple of months." I will be focusing my creative energies on setting up a new home for us and our pets...Then off to the studio!<BR/><BR/>Cheers and good luck with your move.Noellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169481080882488683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764585642593633576.post-82632305716741865462008-10-22T05:33:00.000-07:002008-10-22T05:33:00.000-07:00wowie, you are busy eh?Gary Rith Pottery Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07113249576164428106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764585642593633576.post-9907500300954039002008-10-22T05:12:00.000-07:002008-10-22T05:12:00.000-07:00Whew! Every aspect of your tale sounds exciting &amp; challenging - but I would get moved &amp; then get back to pots - especially if you are not dependent on the sale of those pots to eat.<BR/>There&#39;s a &#39;murphy&#39;s-type-law&#39; that always comes in to play when you are pushed for time.<BR/>Maybe you could invite a &#39;guest artist/friend&#39; to help fill your gallery shelves for the holidays.<BR/>Good luck &amp; let us know how it all works out.Judy Shrevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13817638135856406785noreply@blogger.com
