Looks like Julie was enjoying her new blue bowl with a scrumptious hot fudge banana split this weekend!!! Looks yummy… and thanks for sharing your photo!

And speaking of MUGSHOT MONDAY… just showing off two new mugs for my “already-overflowing” Mug Collection! Beautiful mugs & glazing effects by Steven Showalter in Minnesota! I’ve admired his work for years… his techniques, his teachings and his willingness to share everything online! We’ve never met, but it seems like I know him already thanks to social media! And you should too… look him up on Facebook or Instagram… his work is AMAZING!!!

Just celebrating another MUGSHOT MONDAY with this sweet stamped & soda-fired mug!

It feels like another somber day today…
with so much craziness, protests & riots going on in cities all around the country. Somehow these weeds seemed appropriate for a Monochromatic Monday! Resilient even in the harshest of circumstances.

Well, the new overnight curfew in Chicago also means NO SUNRISE BIKE RIDES for me!!! We’re locked-down until 6:00am in the morning… and the sunrise is happening well before that. So I stayed home… stayed safe… and enjoyed the morning sun on my African violets. This plant has been amazing… blooming constantly since I received it as a gift last Fall from Rick & Nancy! Especially beautiful as I’ve been “sheltered-at-home” with plenty of time to enjoy these blooms!
