It's really weird, but I woke up this morning thinking about this blog thing and how it all started for me. Your blog was the first blog I ever read, then Hannah's then Hollis and now look where I am with it all. I have enjoyed the journey with you, love your work and your efforts and enjoy reading your heart felt posts so much. I am so very sorry for this turn of events and I hope you are able to stay strong and throw all that is going on in your head right now into the clay. Channel it to a positive end maybe.<br />Will be thinking about you.....<br />xoTracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709786391671578715.post-48691916984823032082013-02-03T15:59:21.019+00:002013-02-03T15:59:21.019+00:00I have been missing your posts.

I was hoping you were having a wonderful vacation...not so much :< My husband told me that when he got divorced, friends took sides and he was no longer welcome. A painful experience but he was glad to know who his friends really were and not waste his time with the rest.(he had some really GOOD words for them that I can't post) Anyway, you must always make pottery...they are so beautiful. Better drainage for your workshop must be a beautiful thing too!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02836622749563532159noreply@blogger.com
