This is one of my favorite dishcloths!  When I looked at the yarn I didn’t think it would look good but it does.

In the summer of 2010 three women from Victoria magazine came to our gallery and did a five hour photo shoot!  It was so exciting!  A few weeks ago we got to see the photo layout.  When I opened it I was truely amazed.  It was four pages full of the most beautiful photos of our pottery and of me….
