Hi Jeri! I enjoyed your post, and loved the story of how your husband surprised you with a wheel. Looking forward to learning from and sharing with you. Lived in New Mexico for a big portion of my life, now in Oklahoma.
This is my very first attempt at a measuring bowl or sauce bowl, and the first attempt at pulling and attaching a handle. This is from early 2009 I think.
My three year old grand daughter wanted to 'help' one day and the results were this little pinch pot fish that she made with a little direction from me. She's been 'helping' me in my ity bitty home studio since she was 18mo. It was a fun little piece and I thought I'd share it.
