HandmadeMN Feature

How awesome is this?? I've been featured on the HandmadeMN blog. Maybe I should have dressed up for the photo instead of having mud on my shirt and in my hair. Oh well, I'd hate to be seen any differently than I am almost every other day. Despite my best efforts (braids and bandana) I still manage to get mud in my hair fairly regularly.

Pots for Sale

I have a very welcomed day off from my day job tomorrow. Early in the day I've got a meeting to attend with my mom, but the afternoon is all mine. On the top of my to-do list is to add some pots from my most recent firings on Etsy. Later I'm heading in to The Market on Oak to help out there for a few hours.




Check my Etsy shop late tomorrow for some new pieces. There's a gorgeous glossy black and green bowl.

Everyone Needs Help

I unloaded the kiln this morning bright and early. The berry bowl on the bottom edge of the photo above was an item ordered as a Mother's Day gift so it was pretty critical that the kiln be unloaded today so they could pick it up. It it weren't so cold here it might have even been warm yet when it gets picked up. That's always fun selling a piece that is still warm from the kiln.

And I had lots of help with the unloading this morning. Snuffles the Wonder Mutt was in the studio since it was cold and wet outside. Her helping involved me throwing her squeaky toy between unloading every couple pots. She loves to be helpful that way.


Here's a sampling of the pots that come out of the kiln today. I especially liked the Iron Red oblong vase near the back of the grouping.


Next I'm off to a plant sale southeast of New Trier Minnesota to pick up some additional perennials to put around the studio.
