Dry already, will ya!

It took a lot of sanding to get the lid to fit again. 
I hate shrinkage!

Bowls, birdhouses, tumblers, flower pots and soap dishes.
Mugs and birdhouses
 
As soon as these banks are dry we'll get a bisque firing going.



And finally....









So this is what my production looks like.  Not dozens of anything but dozens of different things.  I guess we all have to work at our own pace and try not to compare ourselves with the Jones' too much.

Fog & Snow

There is something about fog and snow that I love.  I hate snow and am so over winter right now.  So maybe it's the fact that I know the air is warmer than the snow covered ground that causes the fog.

WHAT? WHAT???

WARM AIR?

DID SOMEONE SAY WARM AIR?

WHERE???


Surely, this must be a sign of spring!

I know.  I'm delusional.  A girl can dream.  Can't she? (grumble, grumble damn ground hog. And stop calling me Shirley!)
