Who was I talking about the Oz books with? Most people I mention the Oz books to only know about the first book, maybe the second one. There are actually… fourteen. I had a set when I was a child (mysteriously disappeared by The StepMonster (TM)) and managed to find …
It’s gonna take me a while, though. (I actually took that screenshot a couple of days ago; I’ve gone another 9 miles since then and am only 10 miles away from Old Man Willow.) Only 1800 miles to go! Yay! Those Hobbits sure were a lot faster than me, though. …
Shop Elf came out to the studio yesterday (it usually comes on Thursdays) so I’m a little convinced today is Friday… but it’s not! It’s Wednesday! And that means we talk about What’s In Progress. WiP Wednesday started off as a weekly conversation prompt over in my Ravelry group. I …
The phone battery case did not work out after all; I got it, charged it, it told me it was charged, I asked it to charge my phone, and it told me it didn’t have a charge. I plugged it back in, it told me it had a charge. I …
AKA “Like cake, the bacon is a lie.” I mean, it was fine bacon. Cooked well, interesting sauces (really dug that hot pepper ranch dressing)… and although yes, it was free, it was not unlimited as we had heard. Clearly. More the opposite, since we had to ask for it, …
I was in our driveway yesterday, heading to the post office, when something caught my eye. Something just didn’t look right…. You know how you see something all the time and somehow some time it just looks different and you can’t put your finger on it….? It took me a …
I started this post on … I don’t know… Monday? And keep getting sidetracked. Clay and texture is in the other room, whispering to me. It’s pretty tough to take a picture of your phone, so instead of showing off my new battery case (looks just like a regular case, …
So many slab-rolled ceramics this week! It’s messy and fun in the studio these days. So messy. AND SO FUN! In ceramics, I’m having so much fun! Er, I mean, I’m working so hard! Haha! I’ve gotten a few new texture rolling pins and I just can’t stop myself from …
Do I need a new phone? Or do I need a wireless charger? Do I need to stick with the Dropbox I know or move to a file sharing service that doesn’t keep changing the rules on me? Why can’t I get this external backup drive to automagically back up? …
Saturday, what a day, rocking all week with you! Whooaaa-whoaaa- no, really, whoa. Nobody needs that earworm this early in the morning. I’ve had a couple of really good productive days in the studio this week. Yes, I get things done every day, but somehow computer work or getting along …
A lot of restocks were sprinkled in with everything else this week, so in case you missed any of that, here’s a roundup! Small cabled sweater bowls; The companion piece to the cabled sweater mug, this little bowl is absolutely perfect for a serving of ice cream, soup, or morning …
We’ve reached that part of summer that’s full of rain… and boy howdy do we need it. Remember just a week or two ago when I was saying that all our grass was brown and dead? Green and lush, now, yo! Normally it means an afternoon thunderstorm, and we’ve had …
Good morning! How has your week been so far? I’m sitting here with fingers itching to type (and hopefully not misspell everything, since I’m also only halfway into my first cup of coffee as I write this) and a creative fire under me that wonders how early is too early …
I spent most of yesterday shirking work and being social (shhhh, don’t tell my boss). I started off meeting a long-time online friend for lunch – we’ve only met in person once before, when she stayed at my house to take the bar exam – and yet online, we’ve known …
First thing this morning, I said “write a blog post! Start the week off right!” but then I remembered I needed to upload social media for the day, so I did that first. Then I was like, “I’ll write a blog post right after I shower!” only then I was …
Today is Uncle Joe’s birthday (we celebrated last night). Tomorrow is my mom’s birthday. And then Tuesday is That Poor Man’s mom’s birthday. Hooray, June! For Christmas last year I got some fun napkins for Aunt Gay and Uncle Joe, because they have parties all the time. I love that …
I have… four pairs of socks on the needles right now. And yet I’m contemplating buying more needles, so I can start on another new pair of socks. Maybe dial the startitus back a bit, eh? But then that does kind of describe most things I do. I am really, …
I finally have a minute to start glazing these mushroom birdfeeders I’ve been sitting on for weeks, and someone requested some kind of Florida blue mushroom… I googled images, and here’s my color palette: I think these are going to be fantastic! Meanwhile, if I can upload a video here… …
I went to see Rocketman with a friend yesterday, and y’all, it was amazing. I mean, the movie itself was beautiful and uplifting and magical… but the experience of going to the movie wasn’t bad, either, and how often can you say that?! I know I’m years behind the rest …
Well, I was right; yesterday’s power outage did hose my kiln firing… so one thing I’ll be working on this week is re-making all of those custom orders and restocks. Yay! Oh! And it looks like I also forgot to put together a WiP graphic, so clearly I am batting …
The heat is melting my brain, y’all. And I was writing a post about how hot it was, and what I’ve been doing the last few days, and then the power went off — between the house AC, the studio AC, me firing the kiln, and then Cetty and Joe …
That’s right! Cats and dogs, living together… mass hysteria! Hahaha. Just kidding (sort of). It’s not a Ghostbusters theme, but it is a Cats and Dogs theme. Do you know how many National/International days there are in August for pets? Specifically cats and dogs? So of course that had to …
