You're not the boss of me!

I guess I have lived my life believing " nobody is the boss of me." I've made pots my way and the lucky f32-ker  that I am I have had some long time supporters that have encouraged me to do just that. Don't think of me of a courageous maker of one offs. I make production work that is easy to make and easy to like.
Lisa Charlton and her husband have been amazing collectors of the work I wish I could always make. I sold Lisa a pot when she was 13 and made Lisa and Paul their wedding dinner ware 28 years ago. It was a 12 piece setting wood fired. I have never made another wood fired dinner ware set.
I learned over 30 years ago when at Wobage Farm in Wales with Mick and Sheila Casson that a potter needs to make "some and some!' Some for the market place and some for you. I have never forgotten to make for me. That ain't guts, it's love of the craft. If I wanted to do the same every day I'd have worked at the Ford plant.  Hey wait a minute that wouldn't work. I have always believed " you're not the boss of me!"
Lisa and Paul have a house full of me. Paul thinks the foundation is shifting under the weight of all my pots.  I really must get myself invited for dinner.
Thank you all for coming to my sale today. I have a couple of wild women coming over tonight for a beer. Christine "Woodstock" Torres and Cathy "Purple Hair"are due any time. It should be a great laugh. I am one lucky f32-ker to belong to the fine craft society. I will have to kick them out as I'm on shift tomorrow morning at the firing of Queen Anne. It is pissing rain.
Over 30 years of friendship and collecting me.

I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society. - Henry David Thoreau.

Herpes is a serious and recurring disease which can't be cured through drugs or injections by the American doctors but the best way to deal with herpes is by taking natural herbs medicine from DR. ISHIAKU the greatest herbalist doctor in the world and is only few American doctors that know about this herbal medicine from Dr ISHIAKU .. I have read about Dr ISHIAKU the great herbalist doctor from African who can cure disease with his powerful herbal medicine. for the people suffering from the following diseases, Herpes,HIV/Aids, Cancer, Also, Hepatitis, Diabetes, Hpv, Infections ETC should contact him for his herbal medicine because i am a living testimony and i was cured of herpes.

I have been suffering from (HERPES) disease for the last four years and had constant pain, especially in my knees. During the first year, I had faith in God that I would be healed someday.This disease started to circulate all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, a few weeks ago I came on search on the internet if I could get any information concerning the prevention of this disease, on my search I saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from (Hepatitis B and Cancer) by this Man Dr. Silver and she also gave the email address of this man and advise we should contact him for any sickness that he would be of help, so I wrote to Dr. Silver telling him about my (HERPES Virus) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! hmm i never believed it,, well after all the procedures and remedy given to me by this man few weeks later I started experiencing changes all over me as the Dr. assured me that I have cured, after some time i went to my doctor to confirmed if I have been finally healed behold it was TRUE, So friends my advice is if you have such sickness or any other at all you can email Dr. Silver (drsilverhealingtemple@gmail.com) sir I am indeed grateful for the help I will forever recommend you to my friends!!! with your lovely Email Address ( drsilverhealingtemple@gmail.com

The doctors said Herpes virus do not have medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells, it remains protected from your immune system. Herpes isn’t a special virus – your immune system has the tools to fight it back. But because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is unable to remove it from your body,But with strong reactive herbal medication is capable of getting rid of the virus gradually and totally from your body without damaging any of your cells,natural herbs kills the virus totally not just reducing the out break.
