Last night was our friend Mariana’s photography opening at Tasty Buddha; they do a rotating artist (I think on a quarterly basis) and while of course the artist makes money, some proceeds also go to a different charity every year. Their charity this year is the Pace Center for Girls, and they said last night that this [...]

I hate it when I write a whole paragraph, and then switch over from HTML view to Visual, and there’s a missing quote or attribute and the whole thing disappears. I also hate it when things explode in the kiln. There’s nothing I can do about it, but it still distresses me. See the brown [...]

Yesterday I went out to Shake Rag with Aunt Gay and Uncle Joe; I had to do a soap inventory anyway, and drop off some new products . The bonus was that family friend Brandy was playing guitar and singing for a set (we did stay for the next people in the set after, which [...]

Yesterday I glazed a lot of ceramics, ran some errands, exercised my right to vote, and hung out with friends in the hardest working cafe in Gainesville. I got enough glazed yesterday that I could almost even fire the kiln this afternoon when I get back from Melrose, if I wanted to. Part of that [...]

I either spent yesterday taking care of myself, or running myself ragged… or half-and-half. I’m still not awake yet so I’m not sure. I started off with a visit to the chiropractor/massage therapist, and since that’s close to the Oaks Mall I decided to swing by there for a couple of reasons. I have a [...]

I didn’t take a picture on Thursday; I thought about it a couple of times but all I was doing was wrapping soap, and I’d think about how to artfully arrange my work to get a pretty picture and then I’d get sidetracked. So then I didn’t put up a post yesterday about what I [...]

Yesterday was quite productive. I wish I could have taken a photo of the yarn I dyed, but it is for February sock club and I didn’t want to spoil people. So here’s a picture of my temporarily red hair instead. I love how the gray and still-bleached parts look lighter, almost reddish-blonde. Anyway. It’s [...]

I originally meant to take this in the early morning, so the sun would be behind it (get it? The sun? Behind the sun? So it would look like a little sun? In the sun? Meta!) But I forgot, and ultimately think this one turned out fine. Besides, I think to show off the shiny [...]

Behold, my earrings! Before we painted the bathroom, they used to hang in the window (not unlike this); but they got taken down for painting, and when I went to put them back up I thought “wow, that netting is really dusty, I should pop it into the wash.” And that meant taking off all [...]

The problem with taking pictures of white shiny things is that they look very flat and white and shiny. I tried to soften it with a filter, but … meh. Clearly I am going to have to work to make the lotion look enticing! This is the massage lotion, already in use at West Family [...]
