Chrissy's Photo A Day

Another special order in progress. This is how I feel most of the time. Today I got an order from a stranger and it made me so happy ...

I went by the studio today with a migraine that had lingered since yesterday (could not teach last night) and picked up these beauties. I...

I taught tonight. These are the 3D things my students printed and brought to class to share. My lesson plan did not go well and I left ...

Two days later, I had my first sale.

Today I opened an Etsy shop. I called it Earth to Space Pottery and listed my first items. I doubted anything would sell, but it was ...

I couldn't wait to get home to work in the pottery studio. I spent a lot of time glazing and got back some of my stuff. So much stuff...

We left our little pink house today and headed home through Fairhope, Alabama. I'd never been there and heard it was a nice town- an ...

Dan was on a bike ride this afternoon so I sat out by the water and knit and decided to upload photos to my blog after two months of hiat...

We left early in the morning and made it to our cottage on Little Lagoon around noon. It's a cute pink cottage. Adorable. We went for...

See this ugly bagel? I made it. It represents feeling better. I also made a "light" version of the pumpkin chocolate chee...

Well, I met my goal today! It took 2.5 months but I lost 17 pounds. :) It feels really good.  See that hump? That's the three...

I'm sick. It's "just" a cold but I got a migraine with it and couldn't teach Monday night or Tuesday night or go ...

I went to a baby shower today for a former student and brought this sweater I made for her little girl. Second set of mugs with...

Look at this fire. This fine fire. See Teensie? I sat in front of this fine fire grading journals today. Dan orchestrated the whole thing...

I voted today. Teensie couldn't vote because she's a Democat, so I gave her my sticker.

Dan made all the arrangements, then I did the cooking. We invited two couples over for dinner. I made this butternut squash soup and chic...

So my mom made this chocolate pumpkin cheesecake and it was so freaking good I just had to have a piece. I guessed how many points it was...

I'm a ghost. I'm a ghost of who I used to be... but I'm wearing my wedding dress. Yes, Weight Watchers works.

First batch of mugs with wonky handles done. I cleaned up my office.

Today I was really having a hard time.  My messy office wasn't helping.  I texted Dan that I just wanted to disappear. He said ...

This is what my wheel looks like. It's a recycled lazy susan and a recycled robotics motor with a foot switch Dan bought and a box he...

Sitting outside trimming this weekend while Dan is backpacking with M. I love this so much. It's my happy place in what is a depressi...

Glazing the first set with funky handles.

As you can see, I have gotten better at handles. Being able to trim at home has really helped me practice. And, I designed and printed le...

My husband is so sweet. I told him I wished I could do pottery at home and he built me a wheel. It's got enough torque to trim, but n...

I have a goal to make 20 mugs and the handles are difficult for me. So are the bases--- but I'm determined to find time to do this. I...

Hurricane Michael. We just got a lot of rain, but it was so sad seeing the destruction along the coast. Dan and I were supposed to be i...
