Today I packed up all the stuff into kits and cut the snail sponges.
I tried out the new power plant circuit diagram and mounted them on box lids. There is so much to do!

I got to hold a baby on the day she was born!
I decorated my little creamer with cobalt oxide. Hope it doesn't run.

I'm participating in a postcard making thing to encourage people to vote on 12/12 in the special election in our state. We have a very strange republican with some bad behavior running against a democrat with integrity. Overall, the democrat is a better person to represent us and do good things.

My students and I go every week to a couple of afterschool programs to try out different activities we create. Here are some in action.

Today I framed 25 little paintings and donated them to our church. We have a craft corner to raise money and I wanted to donate some things. It felt great to do this!

Got two pieces back from the studio today. My bowl above had too much glaze run down into the bowl and it bubbled up. I hope I can Dremel it flat.
This is a lantern I got back. I'd hoped that the rutile green would run more onto the denim blue.

I figured out how to write on my photos so I can remember the glazes I use.
BECAUSE... the twin bowls turned out badly. The glaze ran all down the sides and globbed. The top parts are beautiful, but the bottom parts are a disaster. Here I tried to make sure the glaze at the bottom does not run.

Worked on my "bee pot" today at the studio. Went to the evening school and saw the kids finish their wagons. I was really impressed with their motivation and pride.

I don't know what got into my cat, but she is a little monster. I was working at the kitchen table and got so fed up with her constantly getting on the table and the counters, that I coated them with Al foil and sticky tape. I was in a mood!
We didn't get may trick-or-treaters, which is good, because I had to work.

I ordered this cat tree for Teensie and it arrived today so I put it together even though I was in a big hurry to get ready for class tonight. I wanted to build it and see if she liked it. She was interested in the feather, and ripped it off, but that's about it. Hopefully she will start to like it.
Taught a class on assessment. It went well for a typically boring topic.

I have not been cooking lately. No time.
We went to Mellow Mushroom tonight for dinner and sat at the bar and watched the kitchen workers make pizza.

I finished my lantern-- that I made at home--
And went to the evening school tonight to help the kids with their wagon designs.

I glazed my matching bowls but the glaze went on so thick because I had to pour it on. I tried to get the excess off but don't know what will happen.

I made these two bowls- matching bowls.
They came out of the bisque kiln today. I had a busy day with a conference call and a program coordinator's meeting but found time to go to the studio to play with clay. It was my end-of-a-crazy-week treat.

Fall break is over and I worked so hard during those four days, that now that another week has started, I'm exhausted. This is my fix-- snuggle time with Teensie.

I haven't been posting in a long long time, and if any of you actually read my blog, I'm sorry. I've been working so much that normal thinks I like to do are falling off the wagon. OK, I still find time for pottery. A little time here and there. And today I played at church and since I had to play 4 new songs, it took me two days to practice, but I had a four day weekend and I worked my tail off.
I work and I work and I work. And I sleep.
But tonight I skipped going out to dinner with Dan and friends so I could work enough to justify going to see a Sundilla concert. We heard Joe Crookston.
He was SO good. Mom and Dad came too.

I made an alcohol molecule. We had a guest come talk with my spatial thinking class today and he taught us all about isomers and had us try to build molecules. It was really educational.

My sister Sta is visiting and I asked her to help me redecorate my guest room so it would be less girly and frilly. So, we went to Target and picked some stuff out.
Scroll down for the "after" shot.
Then I returned the fluffy pillows and found two down pillows in a light blue from an antique store.
