When the going gets tough, the tough get GROWing!
Adorable little trooper of a weed hanging in there!!! You grow girl!!

Loving the intricate woven texture & pattern of these nautical ropes!

A quick bisque firing… as always a lot of mugs and a few bowls still a little “damp” on top!

Literally “threw together” a couple last-minute masks for this weekend’s soda kiln firing… they make me smile while still racing towards my deadline!

Just “a few” more mugs for the kiln…
hoping to have them all ready for ART IN THE BARN on September 28th & 29th.
You know they’re my favorite thing to make…
which is perfect for another Mugshot Monday!

Finishing up some last-minute mugs for another Mugshot Monday! Adding some colored flashing slip accents… and then “speed-drying” them somehow so they can get bisqued, glazed and loaded into the soda kiln this weekend! Fingers crossed!

So it was VERY foggy & misty along the lakefront this morning… no chance for the sunrise to break through this mist! Hard enough for the lighthouse that was out there trying its best to do the task at hand!

So here’s a very dark view of the standard “turn-around-spot” from my morning ride. Today it was pitch black on a very foggy-misty morning. Not so safe with such reduced visibility.

So here are a few observations… maybe it would be good if people could stay in their own well-marked lanes, bikers in the bike lanes & jogger-walkers in the jogging lane?! Or perhaps we could have some sort of headlight-tailights-LED flasher situation?… you can see it’s PITCH BLACK outside this early in the morning!!! And by all means, lets consider NOT wearing totally black clothing from head to toe without any sort of reflective or illuminated surface.

It’s dark out there and WE CAN’T SEE YOU!!!

Oh yeah, and there “may have been” a few serving bowls in the production mix today as well! Gotta make, make, make…

All stamped & done for the night… for tomorrow I’ll trim and add some colored flashing slip accents. Getting a little tight in my deadline to get everything ready for next weekend’s soda kiln firing! Tick, tock…
