Another chilly morning. A lot of “frozen” all around.
The sunrise made it feel a bit warmer, but when I got home I heard it was only 17-degrees…
9-degrees with the wind chill.   Yikes!!! Thank goodness for LAYERS!!!

My first mug of 2016 for Mugshot Mondays… with plenty more to come!!!
A stamped porcelain mug with a cone 6 green glaze for a fun pop of color!

Kickin’ off a New Year of Mugshot Mondays…
with a quick flashback to the “500 Cups” book by Lark Books.

I was so excited as it was the first time my pottery was published in a book.
So crazy to see you mug prominently displayed on Page 265.
And I’ve been addicted to making mugs ever since!!!

Beautiful clouds with a mix of streetlight silhouettes.

First ride of the New Year. A little chilly, but it felt great to kick the year off right!!!
Would it have been too much to ask for a real sunrise???

Okay… well, we had a glimmer of sunrise… and that’s it.

Great to be home after another long weekend of holiday celebrations with family & friends. Whew…

Just a glimpse of the tile wall in my condo… just short of three thousand tiles on my wall.

Little Sunday color-theory art lesson and painting fun with my niece Taylor today. Basic color wheels and color gradations with Taylor and her mom Jen… my sister.

Now that’s some THICK bacon!!!
Now we just need to cover it with brown sugar & cinnamon!!!!
Getting ready for yet another holiday get-together later this afternoon.
