WELL - as 'set-up day' (day before sale) is always one of my most stressful days of the year, I did pretty well this year as I actually enjoyed the process of setting my creations out on the table; figuring out how to make it look artistic & interesting.
I had a friend take a pic of me standing in front of table & I took pics of my stuff.
I plan to ask hubby to help me get it into some kind of form to let anyone who wants to see it do so.
SO show opened yesterday at 10 am & by 5 pm I had sold 18 pieces!!!!! YAYYYY.. About 28 other potters in show also, so I'm sort of blown away that I'm doing so well.
I wish I didn't have this underlying yucky feeling. It's the background low-level worry/concern - I dunno......."dread" is too strong a word....maybe apprehension...about what might happen with my son. I hate it.
I liken life somewhat to a cloudy day when the sun pokes out of the clouds once in a while.
I CAN enjoy things - my pottery; my gardens; flowers; walks in nature. But underlying, there's always a 'dragged down' feeling.
Or that's how it feels recently. I can't remember if I felt like this before I cut back on my St. John's Wort & 5HTP. I can't remember if I actually felt OKAY.
ANYway, I'll end on a positive note. It feels wonderful to have all the prep for the sale over. I was pretty stressed for a few weeks. It feels wonderful to know that people get enjoyment out of something that I get enjoyment out of doing! Making pottery. Lots of flattish rippled dishes this time with dragonflies, butterflies, fish on them. Also lots of spring-coloured earrings & necklaces.
