Redux

After my sister, Maggie, appeared on Productivity Alchemy, my competitive side wouldn't rest until I'd been on more times than she had...

That's a lie. It's just that they've been doing a lot of check-ins with former guests, talking about life changes, and how they're staying productive (or not) during a global pandemic. And I realized, we've had a bunch of changes since Fall of 2018, so proposed a revisit. It's live today.

Haven't listened yet; as I recall, I may have monologued like a super-villain. We'll have to see.

ETA: Well, wasn't so bad as all that, though I found myself shouting (at myself), Thread! You mean thread, not yarn!

Brain farts are the worst.

Clearing my desk

I've got a stack of notes next to the computer, things I've been meaning to post here. In no particular order:

1. With the recent firing, I've updated the "In Stock" list at my website to include lots of new pots, new patterns as well.

2. One of the orders last firing was for Dinner Salad Bowls, which I hadn't done in a while, because I could never figure out how to fit them into my booth. With the booth less of an issue in the current situation, I went ahead and made a bunch extra, because I've always liked the form, and also needed to fill the kiln. I've got them in fox, hummingbird, elephant and sea otter.

3. I'll be doing a glaze firing end of September, sharing the kiln with another Club Mud potter, so special orders are open again, until September 24.

Pack animal

As part of its plan to help members navigate the virtual sales arena, Clayfolk has been hosting Zoom seminars (I hate "webinar") on subjects ranging from photographing your work to setting up an Etsy store to various e-commerce platforms.

I've been nominated to teach one on packing and shipping your work. I can't imagine why.

(That's a 10-place, 40-piece dinner service, on its way to Texas.)
