Looks like a yummy success to me! It smells amazing, the leaves look golden brown… and nothing sunk into the pie!!! Gotta let it cool a bit… pull out the Cool Whip… and find a fork!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Giddy-up!

Yes, Cool Whip!!! Remember, I have the palate of a four-year old and I grew up with Cool Whip. So it has lots of good childhood memories attached. And it’s creamy-yummy on pumpkin pie… so I bought TWO!!!

Looks like one of my totem poles has taken on a festive Thanksgiving flair… but I might say that I think Chris now needs bigger pilgrims. HA!!!

So here’s my sweet baby ready to go into the oven! As I was adding decorations to the top… cuz’ MORE IS MORE… I started to wonder.

Maybe there’s a “reason” why pumpkin pies never have crust or decorations on top?! But I was already committed to it… but will the leaves start to sink in as it bakes??? Only one way to find out… let the baking begin!!!

I thought maybe a little pre-game kick-off for Thanksgiving was in order… as tomorrow might be the weirdest Thanksgiving Day ever!!! So I’m starting it off tonight with a Pumpkin Pie Concrete from LICKETY SPLIT. Pumpkin frozen custard with a piece of pumpkin pie blended in!!! I resisted… but oh, those pumpkin pie cookies are pretty darn adorable too!!!

Another mask finding its way from MY HOLIDAY HOME SHOW to a new full-time home! Looks like Don’s new ceramic mask has found a great spot in his house on a dark gray wall.

As we’re all trying to figure out what our new virtual & socially-distanced Thanksgiving might look like this year… I’m kinda drooling over this option!!! I’ll be flying solo on Thursday, so why not eat whatever I want??? And isn’t this every kid’s dream??? I mean… we all know that I have the palate of a four-year old.

Fresh from the kiln. A class demo bottle with a class demo glaze! One of my students had used this glaze combo on a few of his pieces, and Ted was more than willing to share the info. So I figured I would give it a try too!!!

The look is pretty sweet, but if I must say, the “texture” of the blended top section is a little “rougher & scratchier” than I would normally like.

Hey Lillstreeters (besides Ted)… Any guesses what this combo is?!

When Chris bought this green sgraffito platter at MY HOLIDAY HOME SHOW, she knew she wanted it right away. But the big question was how it would look if she hung it on her lavender colored bedroom wall… I’d say it looks pretty GREAT. I’m totally diggin’ the color contrast… and yet somehow they go really well together!

Some stamped patterns and pretty groovy spiral…
all soda-fired for another TEXTURE TUESDAY!
Y’all know how much I love a good spiral !!!
