I'm getting a little ahead of myself, because ther I'm getting a little ahead of myself, because there's only so much I can post in a day before I feel like I'm just spamming people, but... these Moon Mugs are done, and have been taken to @firepowercoffee -- if you want one, that's the only place to get them!
Ceramics, soap, ceramics, more ceramics, and also Ceramics, soap, ceramics, more ceramics, and also some ceramics... that's what I'm working on this week. What about you? What are you working on? How's your week going?
Yesterday I showed off the new goat's milk bar in Yesterday I showed off the new goat's milk bar in relation to the old one, today, I'm showing off the new oatmeal bar in relation to the old one. Yes, same mold for both oatmeal and goat's milk this time around (don't even get me started on my search for new molds that are both interesting and gender-neutral and larger than guest-size that come with more than one cavity in the mold... you'd think I was trying to find hen's teeth.) ANYWAY! These will start showing up in the shop next week!

Not quite a shadow, not quite a raincloud, not quite the color of smoke from a campfire... and yet somehow this is all of those things together. This rich gray, with subtle blue highlights, is sure to become one of your go-to colorway for those complicated stitch patterns that need a semi-solid yarn to show them to their best advantage.

Scanning setup

I thought, with yesterday’s scare of thinking I’d lost all the slides I’d just scanned in, that I’d write a little bit about the process I’m going through to scan. I mean, it seems pretty easy, right? Hook the scanner up to the computer? Scan the things? Let me start …
