Attainable Goals for 2013
Before laying out goals for 2013, I peeked pack to last year’s post. I had three goals: Have a table at a craft or pottery show away from home. I failed this one. I didn’t travel outside of RDU, but I at least participated in a show I had not done before at Wake Crossroads Fellowship. Instead of traveling, I buckled down to build a new Storenvy site and to re-engage in Etsy. Getting my first online orders was truly…

Store Updates
If you have visited my online store recently, you might have noticed a few changes. There are many new pieces of pottery posted and their listing pics (I hope) have improved. Joe brought home a scrap sheet of paper from the huge work printer, and I’ve set up a place in the dining room as a pottery portrait studio. I’m freakin’ Olan Mills, y’all. Just kidding. The pictures are still a little rough, but at least the background is less…
