More Pottery Humor and Small Etsy Milestone
This was shared courtesy of the Etsy Mud Team. Somehow, I really relate to Antonia – enjoy!
Meanwhile, I had a small Etsy milestone. The dawn of 2008 brought my 500th ? and my 100th sale. Thank you to everyone!

I know it’s not really a popularity contest – but it just means I have to keep on keepin’ on to continue to build my business. I’m doing something right, albeit slowly.
After spending all day in the studio yesterday, I have to switch gears today – I’m subbing for the special ed department at school. Although, it’s still a creative endeavor, it doesn’t involve making anything with my hands.
Happy Wednesday,
Cynthia

Thanks Judi, Melody and Jafabrit!
I think you’re right about making art individually, JB – To quote Antonia, “Is possible”.

Thanks for sharing the video with us! It’s GREAT !!!
Laughed so hard my little dog, Pasha, jumped up with fright. Of course, part of her reaction was a big chunk of snowy ice falling off the roof at exactly the same moment . . .

Thanks, Nancy!
Chae, my dog, Zuzu has just accepted the fact that I laugh out loud and talk to myself!
Sometimes, she raises an eyebrow….
