moved the wheel back into the basement from the outdoor shed.

any other cold weather people starting to get cabin fever yet?

It's a real thing 

Has anyone had any luck finding a splash pan for the Creative Industries MP?  

I am finally back in the studio, hand- building. It is 23 degrees and I am snowed in. I won't get back to the wheel until spring.

The challenge to Self these days is my old nemesis--lack of patience. So, to push myself into either a state of growing frustration or a state of growing acceptance, I am making myself replay old scenes in the hidden objects game June's Journey. That is a game that requires mega patience, on steroids. Why? you ask. Because I let myself actually run out of clay--all three of my main types. I ordered some, and they are out of the one I need the most and need the fastest! Go figure.   Another lesson in patience, coming right up. (Yeah, they are getting in it and shipping it soon.)

been trying some mold making. Think I prefer the wheel.

"Happy Cat Pottery" is the new name for my fledgling pottery business...

Lovely feedback received from a recipient of one of my snowflake mobiles.  Happy potter.

Finished the tri-tube bud vases and will be gifting them this week...

Started to glaze the bowls but got an order for a dozen medium, tri-tube bud vases too...the first job for the extruder...

Unloaded two glaze fires today

Backstock is piling up like never before

Makin' pencil holders and utensil holders for the farmer's market, hope I can get them bisqued and glazed by Dec 1st... stupid "money" job interfering with my "dream" job, lol. - Mugs are ready to go

Waiting for big bowls to dry so I can trim after work

Visual Society... the next big thing!

Aarrgghhh...we only got a few weeks notice that the guild I belong to is doing a raku demo 10/28.  I just emptied my kiln and I do not have anything low fire to fill it with,  so I could bisque (required) a few raku pieces for the event.  I'm going to try to crank out a lot of ^5 and bisque that along with the raku clay. I don't want to pass up the opportunity.  

A great auction! KVIE sold the trio of pots for $350...way more than the retail of $120!

bit of hair stuck out from the face shield while raku-ing today - its crispy - good thing I have a hair appt on Fry-day 

Big weekend coming up as my trio of Horsehair Raku jars goes on the auction block at the local PBS KVIE station's annual Art Auction. At the preview Gala on Monday it already had an early bid of $150 against an asking price of $120. My segment of the auction will air in the 1PM hour on Saturday...

I packed up my small truck with every thing one needs to demonstrate pottery throwing .I am doing a live demo (11am -1pm at one of my organic market outlets in Mckinleville,Ca as its local products demo day . This is the 1st year my schedule has allowed this to happen.I have. not done this in 40 years or more

After 1.5~ years working as a receptionist and saving money I have moved to Stoke-on-Trent to find a job in a pottery factory 

Rain once more here, pots are taking a long time to dry, but makes it easier to assemble after throwing lots of pieces.

So excited My first regional entry and one of my submissions has been chosen.
