What should I wear?

The question of what to wear is always near the forefront of my mind- as it is for most women I would think. I am faced with the question 5 days a week for work, 3-4 times a week for evening activities, 2x for the gym, 7x for bed, 1x for church and then 3-4 various times for other extra curricular activities. One of which is often pottery.

Of course these events have different levels of importance as far as what I wear but pottery has always been one of those events that I don't have the set supply of clothing options for. It has to be something you can get dirty. It has to be something weather appropriate with my non-air controlled studio space. And, preferably something you don't look like a complete slob in. But, since it has low importance, I can usually find something with little trouble- an older t-shirt or tank-top, yoga pants, shorts, etc. But, when the paper called me and wanted to do some pictures and info on my pottery for their women's publication, Magnolia, the question started to voice itself a little louder. Lisa, what will you wear???

So, I eventually dug something up and met two of the nicest girls at my house and got to gush about my love for close to an hour. It was a walk down memory lane since so many things in my life- starting with the spider I drew when I was about two- lead up to this point. I have always wanted to have a life full of art. And that is what I have. I felt really lucky telling my two visitors about my life today. And I'm not the best one for appreciating what I have. But after reminiscing, I feel especially blessed with all that has happened up to this point.

I have met so many wonderful, talented artists. I have seen what can happen when you truly put all of yourself into something you love. And I have gotten to teach many new aspiring potters.

On top of that I get to go to Costa Rica next week and see a whole new country and play at the beach with my sister and our Costa Rican (Tica?) sister, Stephanie.

Soooooo, if you want to see what I finally decided to wear, and learn a little bit more about my art, check out the upcoming edition of Magnolia. Thanks Eric for your inspiration and help in picking it out. What a good boyfriend I have.
