I have not been OPEN in weeks. Yes, I've had some sales, but having someone stop in to pick up a purchase they made online or agreeing to meet a friend so they could pick out something for Mother's Day is very different from opening the door to any person who wanted to walk in.
It was scary. I am doing my very best to follow all the guidelines about keeping myself and my customers safe.
Wearing a mask.
(I hate wearing a mask!)
Posting signs.
Making hand sanitizer available and encouraging people to use it.
(I used to HATE hand sanitizer. Now, it is comforting. What a weird world.)
I also washed my hands with soap A LOT and cleaned all the high touch surfaces in the gallery A LOT. All this and I was still very uncomfortable with people just coming in.
Earlier this week, I finally got around to grinding kiln shelves. Sure enough, I hate that chore!
It is messy, messy, messy!
And I look like a total freak.
When I'm not doing nasty, dirty clean up chores, I have started picking up leaves again. 
Yay! Leaves!
Yay! Leaf platter!
Before grinding the shelves, I ran a glaze fire.
Lots of nice things in this load.
After I worked on the shelves, I fired a bisque.
Currently, there is a glaze fire cooling and probably enough for a second glaze fire this week. I've been working hard to get ready for my next online sales day on May 17.
