What's wrong with this picture? This morning I was unpacking and putting things in the closet and something didn't look quite right with these shoes. I usually only try on one shoe and sometimes I don't try these on at all since I've been getting the same shoe for years. Oh my! I have two right shoes. Of course I don't have the receipt or the box. Oh I remember now I gave the shoe box to Gary to use to put the back splash tile pieces he removed.
The black shoes aren't very flattering but are the only ones I've found which come in a 6.5 wide width and have arch support to help keep my plantar fasciitis at bay. Wally world actually carries these Dr. Scholl's shoes. They only have my size sporadically, so when I see a pair I pick them up to have on hand when my other ones wear out. I noticed recently the quality of these is not as good as previous ones I've purchased. The new ones don't seem to have the arch support. the moral of this story is I better check more closely when I purchase something. I'll try taking them back and see what they say.
I've been doing more thinking about clay than doing. I like illustrating the animals I've seen like this armadillo platter or the birds I've seen like this dancing ravens bowl. Then there's always leaves and flowers. I haven't been able to find my basic pottery tools like a needle tool and fettling knife in all the boxes. I decided to order an extra set so I can get to some serious work. Hopefully they'll arrive before my class next week. I'm also missing my large rolling pin, I hope it turns up soon. I have a small rolling pin but I really like the large one. What about you, do you have a favorite tool you feel you just can't do without? Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
