Patience. Not my most highly rated virtue. Which is maybe why the Universe is blessing me with so many opportunities to learn it.
Our mason came up and told us that he don't think cement can be poured before mid-February this year.
The thermometer has not gone much above freezing in weeks. The snow outside is a solid. The humidity high. Warming the house is our primary task. Warming the studio follows suit.
I am waiting for art supplies from Germany, because I cannot find them in Italy. There is a hang up with the shipping. Without those supplies I cannot advance - either in making art for the on line shop or for the new room.
I busy myself with the things I can do. I can make new cards to go out with my shop orders. From gold leaf. That swirly one in the second photo is a d. I think that might be my new logo. What do you think?
The oven is on and the tiles are firing. I should be able to open the oven on Monday morning. Patience.... opening the oven too soon is always a mistake. Always.
There are so many things I want to do. The list is impossibly long. But to start, it needs to be a few degrees warmer. I need my supplies. The ground needs to thaw. I need to thaw. Then the energy will flow on its own. I know this. But I seem to need to learn it. Again and again.
Thank you, Universe, you have proven your point. I will close my eyes and wait for the moment to come to me.

The Universe is saying "Be Patient, and slow down" The time will come when it will warm enough to do cementing, your supplies will arrive, and in the mean time, do what you can :-) xx
Cara Diana,
"Slow down, little jaguar". We seem to be twins. I am slowly learning too. In Italy you simply have to stop and use your time pondering, daydreaming, reflecting, planning ahead... There is no other choice -other than exploding. You'll see... when your supplies are due, you will have had time to come up with the most beautiful pots and bowls - again!

What I like about the logo is that it has an Italianate feel and you do feature some swirls in what i consider your signature designs. It's stylish and attention getting. It does't really even look like a logo it's so "artistic."So I like it from that standpoint. Creative
But I love your db clay mark better. the one at the top of your blog. That's my personal taste, though.I would pick that one for me. Bt the new one is more you.
happy to be sending this to you from CALIFORNIA!!!

Never have tried gold leaf, but I'm always fascinated by those who are artistic enough to create something wondrous!
I'm chomping at the bit to be out in the garden, but we have snow on the ground, too. Perhaps nature is giving us the opportunity to slow down? :-) Actually, I think I've been working harder on my writing and deer resistant garden designs because I can't go anywhere!
Cheers,

oh, I am like you. Watching the dry twigs in the garden and itching to go out and do some gardening. It's too cold to do anything outdoor. Then I think: I was supposed to rest at this time of the year, wasn't I?
So I find an excuse and hang around. I will miss this in a few months
I would imagine that this would be the exact reason that I would not make a good potter (other than the fact that I cannot throw to save my life)... but I simply could not wait until Monday!
Schöne Grüße!
ouch, it's still cold today! I like the current db logo, are you thinking about changing the font type, or the whole thing to d.?
