Dan has been doing stained glass for the past month and he is quite good. We carved out a corner of the studio for him and I like sharing it. He is much NEATER!

This is is not a tray of cinnamon buns. But, I worked on making these items for a long time. Today I wedged them up. Recycled clay! It's a great batch.

This day we had dinner with Squirt and Rocky and Nana and Gwennie and I brought Gwennie this butter/cheese dish that I made.
Squirt and Rocky went on a hike beforehand -- where they met for the first time.
(Rocky is a geologist, hence her nickname. ) It was a lovely evening! A life-changing day for sure.
Squirt leaves tomorrow for Oregon. He's been home for several weeks, what with the wedding and the gallbladder surgery...

Two days after the wedding, Squirt was in some serious pain. We thought it was his back. Eventually we took him to the ER and he was diagnosed with a sick gallbladder. He is in the hospital and had surgery today to remove it. We haven't slept much in days and Squirt has had a terrible time. So much worry. We hope and pray that all goes well. The gallbladder was dead and had probably been the cause of his back pain for many years.

This vase, Aza made in high school. It has two openings and so we called it the Mexican wedding vase. It was at her wedding!
Aza and Sup leave today for their real honeymoon in the mountains.

The day is here!
I did not take these photos--a professional did.
More later after a nap...

People wear masks when they are in the house... for the most part.

Two days until the wedding! I'm making mints here... paddling the fondant.
And I picked up the flowers yesterday and have them in buckets in the office and started putting together arrangements. Dan's parents and siblings are arriving today!

Rusty is very content in my mom's house now. He found a ball of yarn I'd left behind on a visit!
My kids are all home now for Aza and Supbra's wedding! Even my grandbaby J who is still "on the inside."
9-24-2020
Lots going on!
Squirt and Jes came home.
Squirt is helping me build 10 3D printers.
Jes is helping with wedding details, like painting this sign!

Some goodies from the kiln today:
A vase for a new friend in Chicago
A porcelain vase for my sister Sta
Little kitties for the wedding!
A mug glazed with green over black to make blue...
And the best mug I've ever made!

This is Rusty, born under mom mom's house in March. He was wild and scared and today he decided to play with me- I made a toy with a stick and a ribbon... and gave him a scratch behind the ears- and he decided people were pretty useful!

I hand sewed a shirt from scraps of Alabama Chanin organic cotton.
It was like putting a puzzle together without a guide. I may never wear this shirt in public, but it was still fun!

Last day of being 56... I'm carving leaves into this mug. This mug will turn out to be the best mug I'd ever made.
9-6-2020
This is how I glazed the leaf bowl and mug. I'm not crazy about it and plan to try some other glazes...

Today I was uploading old photos to Ancestry.com and so I uploaded these two... my Nana and Papa.
David Davis (1908-1988) and Christine Evelyn Guy (1908-1987)

The university took this down soon after it was posted. Look at these weekly statistics... at the start of the semester. Thankfully, I'm teaching online. Three classes.

I thought I'd post this image since it symbolizes this semester during Covid times.
We are supposed to take a health quiz daily and get a green screen in order to do anything on campus.
It's clumsy to use, and I typically do not do it even though we are supposed to.

I'm working on a new style for my pottery- carved leaves. The problem is that it looks so good raw, I don't know how to glaze these!
