Plumber was heat at 8:30 AM. I now have a sink. washing dishes and things in my bathroom has been a drag since Christmas. Big things I do in the down stairs kitchen, but I still like my own space. It is cozy.

Showed him the other work that I would like done and he said he would write me up a price. I need to get the washing machine in the cellar draining safely so I don't have to bail... and a nicety will be a faucet out on the garden side of the house. Right now I have to drag a 175 ft hose around the house or carry buckets of water to tend to the garden. We shall see what the quote looks like. The washing machine drain is priority.

Spent a couple hours down in the cellar working with ceramics. Someone has ordered 2 sets of greenware of the small nativity set I paint and sell. It is a student of my friend with the ceramic shop so I sell that to her wholesale. ITs an easy way to make $20.00. I am hoping to get more my items seen so people will start to order greenware from me. I do wish I could save up for a new set of molds. Mine are old and the detail is worn. I paint and carve it back in, but it would be ice for some fresh detail. But I need a better market for them before I can justify that.

I am also thinking of doing something for a Christmas in July thing. Last year a taught club down the street from me has a little craft show. If they did it again I would roll down with some finished pieces...some in hopes to sell, and some in hopes to get people to sign up to make the items themselves. I think doing make and takes like the painting evenings at places is something that could be done with ceramics. People like small projects. I don't think younger/ middle aged people are into going out every week to do something when all work. It is a thought. Maybe something can come of it.
