The New Shed

Step one is complete. Brian finished the shed today. Tomorrow we'll start to carefully organize the space and fill it up Things will look so much better around here!

Friday Happenings

Not Much..at least for me.Rowan was the one out in the world doing stuff. She worked at the Oasis preparing for tonight's Tea Leaf reading class, then took a break to present her daughter to the crowd for Senior Night at the football game. She then returned for the class. Got all dressed up, created a fantastic mood and most unfortunately, NO ONE SHOWED UP. She was sad.

I was at home pulling handles all day. And what a lot of handles there were. I am pleased to report ALL the Webster's mugs are now made. We'll be loading the bisc kiln in the AM. I also got a good start on soup mugs. The next week will be all about finishing a few more special orders and prepping for our home studio sale. I have a lot on my list to do. Pie Plates, more Oak Leaf Platters, Pitchers, Creamers, Butter Keepers, Apple Bakers, Goblets, Tankards, Round Mugs, Small Bowls, wee bowls and Teapots. Maybe a few larger covered jars, we'll see. OH and a few vases for the Raku firing. *sigh* sounds like a lot.

Damn Rain

Makes everything dry so slowly. I managed to get the covered jars trimmed and handled today, but the mugs I threw yesterday are still too wet. I threw a bunch of soup mugs too, but they are also still too wet. Unfortunately I have plans to be out of town tomorrow, so I had to cover it all up so it wouldn't slowly dry too much while I am gone. Looks like I'll be trimming mugs and pulling handles on Friday.

Tomorrow we try to find the other teenager a car. Cath is a little harder to please when it comes to a vehicle, but she has been scouring the ads for a while and came up with a pink Sunfire at a reasonable price. We'll check it out :)
