Well all these years of cooking and I have only cut my fingers twice once at a friends house who sharpened their knives every day and I didn't know that. Then the other day a zucchini slipped in my hand and I sliced my finger, but it is better today thankfully.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-35234969174574393252012-02-13T14:04:03.370-05:002012-02-13T14:04:03.370-05:00I love your geometric work and especially your wal...I love your geometric work and especially your wall hangings.

A few posts ago I posted about a pit fire I did with greenware and nothing broke and I've don't quite a few barrel firings and nothing has ever broken, knock on wood. Oh I just remembered I made one barrel fired purse with a handle and it broke, but what could I expect with that it was very fragile.<br /><br />Hi Dennis, thanks, yeah our ocean is better, supposed to warm up now hopefully.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-70715879957139105062012-02-13T11:01:32.334-05:002012-02-13T11:01:32.334-05:00Ohio was warmer than Florida last night, but your ...Ohio was warmer than Florida last night, but your ocean is still better.Dennis Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01170187288282755570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-47002131827969515002012-02-13T10:50:36.431-05:002012-02-13T10:50:36.431-05:00Like the idea of pit firing....do you ever have pr...Like the idea of pit firing....do you ever have problems with work falling apart, blowing up etc. when pit firing?<br /><br />It was 18 here this morning.....<i>but</i> I am in New England where it's supposed to get cold.
