Spent the last two days cleaning the studio. Everything is shiny and smells like apple-scented Fabuloso. Today I spilled some glaze on the clean floor and was like "NOOOOOOOO!!"

Crunch time. Wrapping up custom orders for the holidays and looking forward to a little break around Christmas.

After two hours of practice throwing this morning: I need to post in the "Help, I cannot center," and the "Help, I cannot pull walls, and the " Why in the he** did I buy a wheel anyway" threads.

Glaze or bisque firing almost every day this week. Big push to finish EVERYTHING in time for my Open Studio which starts Saturday.

Getting ready for Pirate Weekend on Massacre Island/Mobile, Ala. next Saturday. Checklist includes eye patch, dogs, sticks, greenware, and some fired pottery! Must practice saying, Arrrrrr!

I'm just now getting on the screenprinting bandwagon for transfers...and the CriCut option for making silkscreen masks is a game changer...yep, that's all I need...another ADHD design option #smh

Apple juicing on Saturday -big apple year

Looks like I have a causalty of war in the studio. Went out early to shut down the two test kilns: one was frozen in "8888" LED status. Lightning came through at 4am/: think it is fried.

Pressed 120 gallons in 4 hours with 24 helpers

Wow. Unpacking my treasures from my co-artists of the past 2 weeks. Great experience and intense friendships formed with complete strangers by our creative interaction.

Glaze day again-boy it comes up every week this time of year

Glaze fire cooling day and I'm already out of fingernails to chew...oh, the agony!

After a summer spent in a kind of funk, I'm back madly working. I find that if my mind is not clear, I cannot work. So frustrating! But it's clear now and I'm excited and happy to be in the studio again. I feel refreshed.

Firing a big kiln bisque today-show coming up

Lately, I have been at a loss to decorate, anything. I have no problem throwing, just what to do next. I just look a pots and wonder.

GLAZE ALL THE THINGS!

It's getting real, people. I just ordered the gravel base for my concrete kiln pad!
