This may have been the most fun Open House yet, y’all! Guest artist, blacksmith Leslie Tharp (find her here, or here on Facebook) might have been temporarily overshadowed by a surprise anniversary party for That Poor Man’s parents (we got them down to visit by tempting them with their youngest …
We didn’t just surprise Tim’s parents with all their kids on Saturday (previously blogged)… we also let them hang out together on Sunday! How generous are we?! I had previously thrown and bisque fired a handful of pots, with an eye on maybe doing a family raku firing while everyone …
I’ve got a little something for the yarnies this week…. First, I had a little update to Tepper and Lynn, and a big update for the Joy base… but then I also had some One-Hit Wonders to add this week; one each in Tepper, Tiptree, Joy, and Lynn. If you’re …
I’m in a whirlwind of trying to catch up with work and home, and so many pictures to share here, or on the work blog, or on Facebook with family… I’m really running around like a chicken with my head cut off this week. Yesterday was devoted to reclaiming the …
What are you working on this week? I have a lot I *want* to be working on, but I’ve gotten a slow start to the week after a great weekend packed with friends and far-flung family! In ceramics, I’m working on both the February mug, and a new shape for …

So, one thing going on this weekend in addition to the Crafts & Drafts, that I haven’t mentioned, was a super secret surprise of getting all the kids down here to surprise Bill and Linda and celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Their anniversary isn’t until April, but part of a …

Y’all! I’m so happy with the colors here… I’m switching out the regular colors for both the deviled egg plates and the regular-sized butter dishes. You can see closeups of these new colors on those linked pages. Whereas it used to be Sunshine Yellow, Winter Fog, Foliage Green, and Pumpkin …

… I feel I should start each blog post with that this week, heh. Tim and I had a long talk at dinner last night about cat end-of-life care, and whether it was necessary (morally or physically for the cat) to get vet intervention (to add to life), and we …
One thing I think I forgot to mention the other day when talking about Brindle (Bitchface) is that she’s been running out the door to the outside every chance she gets. She’s never really done that before, but suddenly, it’s like the outside is the place she needs to be. …
What are you working on this week? I’m getting my need-to’s finished, but not my want-to’s, and somehow that’s making me feel like I’m falling behind. Does anyone else ever feel that way? In ceramics I’ve run the kiln a couple of times – oh, excuse me, I’ll be right …

Yesterday’s Jacksonville trip was somewhat successful. I got a few new glazes and a couple of tools and some new clay to try out… but they were out of the clay I usually use, which means I’m going to have to go back in a couple of weeks. — All …
I didn’t write a post yesterday because I thought I had a knitting post pre-scheduled, but it turns out I accidentally skipped a week when I was pre-writing them all. That’s what I get for writing all those posts at like 4 in the morning when I couldn’t sleep. Oh …
I don’t remember if I mentioned it over here (I know I did on my personal blog, and on my personal Facebook page), but I’m taking two classes right now. Think Big, and Think Big 2 (you don’t have to have already taken #1 to take #2, they’re not those …

So, I’m taking these classes, and they’re giving me a lot to think about. One of the assignments this week is to ask a few people who know you, to ask them about their impressions of your work, your brand. So here I am, asking! You can answer in the …
Hey, y’all, and happy Friday afternoon! I’ve got a few new things in the shop today… magnets! I released a Call Box magnet in mid-December, and have finally finished enough other ones to get them up on the shop. Biohazard magnets: Let’s be honest… there’s probably something in the back …
This is going to bore the pants off of all but like three of you, so be forewarned. Also this post came out much longer than I intended and I highly recommend a beer or a cup of tea while reading. And if you are not self-employed, and your gut …
