.Baby Money.

..Is the best money 'cause 
it 
is
the uke strummin',
foot pounding,
doo-woop meets urban-western diddie makings
of  Pamela Maurer.

Lady P is the creative genius behind the Art Installations at the Anthropologie on State Street in Chicago. She is the set designer at The Building Stage. And, obviously she is an incredible singer and songwriter.

Pamela is the cat's pajamas and the bee's knees!

.Official.

It is Official.
I am Official.

Ashley Lin Pottery, LLC.

Papers are signed.
The fee is paid.
I am Official.

The IRS just needs to get back to me about about the FEIN.
Then..
I need to sign a lease on a space.
&
BUY..
a kiln,
a wheel,
shelves, 
a table,
dry materials,
a sieve,
damn..
A LOT OF THINGS

THERE ARE A LOT MORE STEPS.
BUT 
I'M AT THE FOOT OF THE STAIRS 
AND 
ALL I NEED TO DO IS MOVE 
UP. 

I COULD NOT HAVE DONE A SINGLE THING
WITHOUT THE LOVE AND SUPPORT 
FROM
MY HUSBAND

SEPTA.takes pennies.dimes.quarters.bills.ladida.just no slugs.those are best kept for fishing trips out of town.so i heard.once on a rainy day.but.no need for that story today.
...
anyhoo.
i paid exact change for a seat on the bolt bus.thirty-fourth and eighth.NYC.
i sat in awe.
i'm allowing myself.to fluff. i'm allowing myself to whim.!!!.i'm allowing myself to step aside.of my hibitual.ritual.work.mode.ness.yo.
i am able to take a gin.whim.trip.cause i got a kick.ass lady named DEVO.who lives in Bushwick.she's crafty with her hands.and.witty.sweet.with her mind.
i met her two years prior 'round these dates.at an art residency.gated community.in upstate new york.called chautauqua. we've been tight ever since.
i check my bag for a breathe.mint.diddie. i have no such item available. only a bike pump.a dieing phone.thirty dollars.a dirty ballet leotard.and.cotton shorts.

Sometimes..i just want to hang out with my buddies.eat cupcakes.drink tea.with gin. and watching the tree limbs sway..but..mostly i just want to work. while eating cupcakes and drinking gin.






This is my first year out.official year. of school. (i was a ceramic tech at a small college in the hills of West Virginia for a year). It think about how i spend my time..and..what i am working on..and..why.

i feel like i can't just work to work. make a mug for the gee golly thrill..like..i have to do something..bigger. I've really been trying to think about something larger then the making. but. i have been making just for the love of making.



i never want to loose my love of making.




NOTE..
MY BOSS MAN TALKED TO ME ABOUT MONEY THAT DAY. MONEY AND FUTURE DIDDIES. YA. FREAK ME OUT. I'M ABLE TO LIVE.BY.LIVING IN THE MOMENT. I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE.FAR.FUTURE. BECAUSE THE FUTURE IS NOW.WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT. SO. WHEN I JUST FOCUS. I AM A LOT HAPPIER.

I DON'T LIKE THINKING ABOUT HYPOTHETICAL SITUATIONS. TOO MUCH.
