Surgery Update and Finishing the Pottery Wine Bottle Stoppers!

Thank you so much for all your well wishes while I heal from rotator cuff surgery. I very much appreciate you all and amazing this pottery community!

[@RoxyanneYoung]

I’m so glad your surgery was successful and you’re healing well. Please take good care of yourself. And thank you for explaining how to attach the ceramic pieces to the metal parts. I learn so much from you!

E6000 is handy stuff. They are stinking cute. Especially the moon. Here's to a speedy recovery.

@@rufferstuff9148 Thank you!

I'm delighted to see your smiling face even through that cumbersome shoulder brace you must wear in the terrible heat!!! Thank you for sharing your "stinking cute" gnome wine stoppers, I just love them!!! Keep hanging in there, you are one tough special lady!!!!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Good to see you. Prayers for your recovery. 🙏🙏🙏

[@JLSwanson]

So glad your surgery went well Don’t rush your recovery

[@carolynsnyder7043]

Good to see you up and about. My husband had 5 major shoulder surgeries. Don’t rush it. Follow PT advice/exercise, so you never have to have another surgery. We’ll be waiting.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@carolynsnyder7043 That's my plan!

[@linda.s.gislad]

Hi Tiffanie, so good to see you! I am glad to know you're on track towards recovery and wish you all the best. BTW, I Love these bottle stoppers. So cute!

[@karendeklerk622]

Wishing you all the very best and speedy recovery and healing ❤

[@BarbaraBlanc-xl8ns]

Very glad to see you doing these video’s. Those bottle toppers are so very cute and useful.

[@crystallarson5872]

I can sympathize - I had an AC Separation many years ago and wearing the sling sucks but it helps stabilize the joint so hang in there!!! Love what you are doing and check in on your channel often to see what new things you have for us to try.

[@jeanmartin6410]

Sounds like you are getting better. Please rest up. I really felt for you when you were taping. Love your channel. So creative.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@jeanmartin6410 Thank you!

Prayers for a speedy recovery 💜💜🥰

[@SuesOriginals]

Many years ago when I was still learning pottery 6 of us decided to do a wine bottle stopper exchange. Each person made 6 stoppers and then gave 5 away to the others. We each ended up with 6 very cool wine bottle stoppers. It was fun!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@SuesOriginals What a great idea!

[@carolmayer8138]

Those are adorable! Glad you're doing well!

[@micheledickey4066]

Oh honey I pray you will heal fast and be able to get back to what you love!!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@micheledickey4066 Thank you so much.

Get well soon Thanks for sharing.

[@Ellen.s.atelier]

Good to see you again, hopefully the four weeks fly by❤

[@margaretfrew6661]

I can guess just how frustrating it must be for you, The last 12/18 months have not been the best for you. But you have shown all of us how to smile and carry on regardless.💝💝🌏🌏This is a drop bear and you must stay away from them.🐹

[@lorit5074]

I’m thinking about you and sending love and healing vibes for you recovery!❤

[@sheilavandervalk3393]

Tiffany, those bottle stoppers are so so cute. And despite your ingury you keep on going with your ceramics. Im happy to hear it goes better, now you have to be patient with the healing process and that is difficult. But, youve been a very tough girl so far, you will hang on. The basement looks cozy, what i can see in the background. It will be comfy for you. And you have a grand child on the way you said, ow that is so nice to look forward to. All the best Tiff and im looking forward to your next video. 👋 bye ♡ Sheila

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@sheilavandervalk3393 Thank you! And I actually have two new grand babies coming this fall. I need this arm in shape to cuddle them. 😀

[@scrapqueen65]

So good to see you! I was hoping you’d share a video this week, but if not, I rewatch your other videos! ❤❤

[@chrismurray2237]

Thanks for the fireworks at the end. They were rained out here in Fla this year. Your little clip perked me up foe missing them. 😁

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@chrismurray2237 Wonderful. My neighbors put on a great show. Wish we could have some of your rain.

❤❤💖💖 Just had my third surgery in a year on my left ankle. Broke it falling down my porch steps last July. Not exactly the same as a rotator cuff, but I feel your pain! Prayers and good vibes being sent for a speedy recovery! Love your work!!!

@@TheRavenBlack1-cw1sr Oh wow, I'm so sorry. Sending healing thoughts and that we'll both be back to better soon.

Bonsoir à vous j'espère que tout vous tous va aller mieux très vite bon courage félicitations pour votre courage je vous souhaite bon rétablissement de tout on cœur ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@dawntowe5799]

Glad your getting better. My husband had his entire left shoulder replaced with a titanium one back in august of last year and he hates that sling just as much. but he loves his new shoulder no more pain. Keep taking it slow so you don't have any problems getting back to your normal routine.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@dawntowe5799 My mom had hers replaced a couple of years ago, too, and is doing amazing. It's crazy what doctors can do. I have high hopes now. I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Just can't wait until all this is over.

[@dawntowe5799]

@hobblecreekpottery hang in there your on the home stretch now

[@majesticmythicalsart7563]

Oh boy, I had to have a slap repair back in April 2022 and I still haven’t fully recovered and that sling was awful. I feel for you and hope you have a speedy recovery

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@majesticmythicalsart7563 I hate this sling! It's sooo hot in Utah right now, and the sling makes it worse. I'm so sorry your recovery hasn't been great. Hopefully, it'll get better in time?

[@majesticmythicalsart7563]

@@hobblecreekpottery it has gotten better unfortunately I had some nerve damage as well so that is causing most of my current problems I also haven’t gotten my full range of motion back even though I did a year of physical therapy . I do have to say my dr said my case wasn’t typical so hopefully you will recover quickly! The sling was the worst , I absolutely hated that thing .

[@LauraMelkis]

I use q tips to remove the extra glue while it is wet.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@LauraMelkis Great idea.

[@LauraMelkis]

I use the pointed ones.

[@sussiemikkelsen1764]

[@Smh1908]

Did you do a single fire and use Stroke and Coat glazes or are they glazed after bisque? Do you think the single fire method would be ok ?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@Smh1908 A single fire would work great for these little things. I didn't this time as my left arm/hand aren't stable and I couldn't be as careful. But I'd definitely give it a go.
