I made plans to visit with my buddy Monika yesterday afternoon. So I did just that and we had a wonderful little visit out in her sunroom. Her Little Nicholas is the cutest little guy and has me wrapped right around his little finger. I asked her how he was doing on his potty training and said she has not had dirty pants in 3 months!

I took my plants to her as they need someone to give them that special love and care. The plants will not survive the move and I don’t want to bother anyone with watering all the house plants while we’re away. I also wanted Monika to have a piece of pottery so I let her pick out a piece she liked. She was at the studio the day I glazed this purse and I remember how she loved the hummer (hummingbird) as she calls it. So this purse seemed to be the one she wanted and I wanted her to have it.

It seems like I’ve been away from pottery for such a long time and I’m thinking it might be a very long time until I’m able to get my home studio all set up again. I would like to start searching for studios in NY that offer classes or maybe I’ll even check into the colleges around. The mud is calling me!
