Seven Eight Lay Them Straight

 
 
Both Friday and Saturday went out to our north bench property and got 2 small loads of mix fire wood. Most of went in our basement. A small part of the load went out to the shed/barn it was on the green side. Believe it should be ready next spring.
I don't like to grip but this trip today out to get firewood didn't go all that smooth. Mostly the first half.
What start it all off I couldn't find my leather gloves, and of course I place them on the desk in our basement. When I got down with Fridays wood.
I kept trip over small stumps and snags. But the tape measure seem to giving me the most grief. We cut some fence post today also.
Well didn't matter what I did the tape measure wouldn't go back in. The brake thing wouldn't make it go in, it was stuck.
I gave it to Murphy in frustration and hit the button and the tape went in.
Between the two trips we got a half of cord of wood.

I sort though boxes and they got haul off to our local land field. Before I put in my ceramic shop. I need to clear out the clutter.
I'm looking at running my ceramic business as a part time SMALL COTTAGE BUSINESS with an LLC backing.

Been doing a little re-figuring what it will cost me to re-open a ceramic shop. One thing I did is over price and the amount of 2 by 4 I might need. I need only 20 of them. The current price for framing lumber is $2.80 each 96 inches long.
I'm now trying to figure out the measurement between my bisque and greenware shelving. I have the width which will be 2 feet and length will be 18 feet.
Then I will know how many plywood pieces I will need to get.

Pretty well know the general rule of thumb, how to price out ceramics. If a mold cost you $50.00 retail low fire ceramic greenware sales for $5.00, Stoneware the greenware will be $7.50, and porcelain will be $10.00.
If there is a some type of cut out or to add a piece it usual twenty five cents and item. Then if there is a low fire for overglazes it usual something like seventy five cent per item.
One thing I haven't figure how to price out is  OVERGLAZES. Some can be fairly expensive compare to other paints, but they go a lot farther.

My morning weigh in. I been under 212. One morning I was even at 209. When I step on the scale at my weight lost support group, T.O.P.S I want there scales to read less then 211.25
I been taking four items with me. A quart bag of peanuts and my husband and I seem to be quite satisfy by eating them.
I did have a tomato and a rice cake that taste like caramel kettle corn. Still nothing to eat after seven in the evening.

  2. Ceramics was one of those crafts I had always wanted to try when I was younger, until I got into quilting.
