Both of your friends were fun also, I hope the one is well on her way to recovery. Great seeing you once again. I can post pictures later on this week.

feeling overwhelmed with all I need to do soon. Must find a warm day to fire obvara for a show due May 6. need to make the brew 3 days ahead. Starting to panic but much of the snow has melted.

Will be out for a while . . . pre bowling for Fri. league. I have to check on time for ICAN board meeting on Wednesday, just remembered. Will let you know.

Do you have a cell phone?  Russel may need to register Wed morning before we go get the car.

Cell #814-312-1403

That sounds nice. Snowy here too.

it was a good meeting. Very professional and positive about promoting artists.

A wise observation--what provoked you to make said observation, if you care to elaborate.  

... you can't protect it from the alligators?

just started firing tonight. Thought tomorrow was going to be nice. Wrong. Wind and snow. So while it is nice today, I got it loaded and firing. Should be done turning it up by 9...my bedtime.  Timer and cone setter should take care of the rest. I'll check it about 5 am. 

Firing espresso cups for Matt to take back to DC, mugs for a friend and tea bowls for another friend. The back to show pieces.

Will be glad when winter is over. 

there was a really strong wind last night as well as my motion detector light on the kiln shed going on and off. Checked the kiln at midnight. It was off. Shut off security light and went back to sleep.

Will unload after I walk the dog.

Oh boy; the fun stuff.

ahhhhh- don't say taxes - its a dirty word!

my husband is coming home next week so we can take them to an accountant. So we have the move and setting up my studio plus his living expenses in Alexandria. Pretty complex.

But I've done what I can without all the forms yet to come in.

since  Sept. over 40"

yesterday 2, today 6"

I can't even imagine that much snow,  we had 12 inches of snow when I was a teenager and it shut the whole town down.    My mom sent me  to the grocery store to stalk up on groceries and all of the stores were close,  I saw a city bus slide around the corner and tip over so they cancel bus service.  It took about three days before the city was open for business.   Denice

I live in a ski resort.

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.

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

This ole world needs some peace.
