I made this tree last year, but by the time I got around to glazing it was January. I decided to glue the lights in so they would stay. It's perfect and also currently for sale at the Harford Artist gallery if you're local.

This is a fun kiln with some new things in it. On a whim I made some new mugs - cats and bigfoot. I love how they turned out, we'll see how others like them. I especially love the bigfoot in the footprint.

The patterned mug on the brown bear came out great. Those glazes worked really well with the texture, especially the kimchi. It actually ran a bit on the bottom so I'm going to have to clean that up.

The cherry mug is super cute. I had the idea for that after my plates.

Finally, had room in the kiln for the starry night bowls. They are AMAZING! I need to do this on a mug.

This is my first time using spectrum floating turquoise on laguna 60. Spectacular! Stay tuned because I tried it on brown bear for the next kiln.

I feel like I am behind on life. Traveling for my day job 3 days a week is taking a toll on me. Finding the time to manage doing pottery, home life, etc. has just been really difficult. I do more shows in the last 4 months of the year than any other time and it's just been a lot.

I spent the whole weekend glazing and this is the first of likely 3 kiln openings coming. This one has a lot of mugs, some holiday stuff, and a few other things that have been on the shelves for a while. I'm really excited by my little snowmen on the top.

Speaking of shows - the Howard County Craft Spectacular is this Friday October 31st, Saturday November 1st, and Sunday November 2nd at the Howard County Fairgrounds. Hope to see you there if you're local.

Apparently I'm in the book for triangle shawls. This is a yarn I had used for another project a while back that I just never wore. So I unraveled it and decided to try something new. I love it in this triangle scarf. This is a slightly different pattern than the last one, but same overall design.


I did realize that the way to make the neck flatter is to not to try to reduce stitches for the first few rows when you go in the round.




Hat in a similar pattern.




With a pony tail hole!

I finished the shawl at a show and had yarn left over so I kept going.


This hat has a pony tail holder in the top with a hole to make it easier to wear when you have your hair up (which I always do).




I've never made mittens before, but it actually wasn't all that hard. They fit perfect. Next time I think I want to try the kind that fold back so you can get to your fingers.

It's fall and that means it's time for scarves again. I made a triangle shawl a while ago and I felt like I needed another one in a different color. This yarn is APple Season in Killington by Miss Babs. It fits fall nicely. I made this pattern up as I went. Took me a bit to bring in the neck and figure out how to still make it lay flat.


I like to make these so that I can bring my arms in if I'm cold.




It's basically just a triangle shawl with a neck added to it.
