I must go do something to, just as soon as I remember what it was. Lol

Fresh air! Lately I've been on the same page as glazenerd though...

Much like last Winter, we have been lacking with the snow.  Last February, my wife and I expected to have to drive to the hospital, in a blizzard, while she was in labor.  Instead, it was in the 70s that week...  Thus far, this Winter we have had some accumulating snow, but after numerous days above freezing, it is all but gone.

Weird weather...

I spent 2 hours today chopping ice off the driveway. Snow is melting and freezing.We've had a total of about 40 inches this year. Where shoveled off the pavement dries. I have my kiln on the patio covered with a big metal basin over a plastic wrap. 

Looks like it was just hewn and polished, fresh from the quarry. One of the more exceptional examples of minimalism I have seen. Well done!

Thanks.

I love seeing what happens with various things like grasses and seaweed.

I just want to reach through the screen and touch them.  Great job  Denice

yep, but not this week. 

Cold and icy here, my husband and I are staying inside trying to survive the flu.  I even had the extra strong flu shot.  Bummer.   Denice

get better. I had it for 3 weeks about a week after I got the flu shot. Just in time for travel to Long Island for a wedding. and back to montana.

My studio in the basement is unheated.  I use a small room heater when the temp drops, but I don't like the fan blowing.  So I was thinking of getting one of the radiant wall heaters....But my space is very small....10x11.  In the shop where I glaze/spray booth/kiln is unheated and very well insulated.  So a small space heater will take the chill off quickly.  I found those radiant wall heaters on Amazon.  Very reasonable.

Google 400 w ceramic panel heater. No fan. Convection. No noise.nice steady heavy. You can find them for 39.95 and up on eBay. 

Thanks!

Congrats. 

yes a nice surprise. Up in Smoke from the forum is also mentioned from my website to his.

Wonderful news.   Denice

Since you have no place to go: let it glaze, let it glaze.     Okay, so I slightly twisted the old version.

mother-in-law visiting til tomorrow. 120 miles rt to airport. maybe we'll see the new star wars movie while we're in town!

Merry Christmas, Marcia, and a Happy New Year in your new home!

best,

This ole world needs some peace.

I re-fired slightly less than golden brown cranberry orange nut bread. Then I made pecan bars like my grandmother's..Fun to taste a childhood memory. Sort of a pecan laden toffee on a crumbly crust.

What cone did you refire the cranberry nut bread to?

350F  eating some right now!

Must go trim my saggers that I threw yesterday. Just finished shoveling snow off the walks.

That is how it works. You get caught up just in time to get behind again.

Where in the world do you get all of your energy! Would that I could, but the shop is freezing up at night and takes half the day to warm up. Keep on keeping one! best, Pres

Pres, what are electric rates where you live? I have these great little heaters that Antionette uses in TN. How big is your shop? 

I have 5 of these to heat comfortably my 650 sq ft studio. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Convection-Flat-Space-Heater-Wall-Mount-Electric-400W-Energy-Efficient-Slim-Heat/172978989419?epid=1445404048&hash=item284659e96b:g:IAUAAOSwrFtaChF3

even if you just had them  1 or 2 near your wheel, it could be nice. I have my clay ,50 gallon garbage cans on wheels or  boxes on carts on wheels set near several of them around the studio..  

I have been taking these vitamins recommended to me by a nurse practitioner at the wellness center decades ago. you can find them on eBay. Seriously, they helped me get better from Fibromyalgia along with retiring.

Hope you feel better soon 

thanks, Min. I am working on it.

I was in their office & there was a map on the wall with all their deposits. Everything was distributed sort of like a circle around Medicine hat & part of that circle crossed the border so you are correct. they were really complaining  about the costs of some stuff that came from further away in the US so there must be some ingredients that they have to order from other places. 

Somehow, the "more-more-more" magically translated to "snow-snow-snow". .. I betcha everyone knew what you meant LOL

Frosty the snowman.....

I did get three more firings done. The next morning at 7 I ran out and covered the kiln. by 11 am it started 6 hours before the forecast predicted. Today is supposed to be nice then more snow. But the air is fresh and clean. My next firing will be sagger and they can sit to cool without the drama. Feeling better about scheduling  firings and obligations for pieces. Obvara is going to have to wait for a warming trend.
