Nothing says “Christmas” more than traditional colors on my new holiday mugs! So I’m busy painting colored slips on the top half, as well as accenting the stamped impressions to make them even more festive!!! MORE IS MORE!!!

I saw these on the shelf at the grocery store this morning. Say it isn’t so!!!
I mean, I love Christmas as much as the next guy, but c’mon already!

Looks like Beetlejuice has been all lit-up for a perfectly blustery & spooky Halloween night! Loving the glow from within… nicely done & thanks for sharing Kristen!

Hope you’re all having a wonderful Halloween today!
Pull out your best costume, go snag some candy & have a great time!!!
Stay safe & keep your feet on the ground as we have CRAZY winds
blowing through Chicago today!!!

Doin’ some last minute prepping’ & packin’…
making some fun trick-or-treat goodie bags for my beginner pottery students tonight!
Lots of candy, toys, goodies, some extra tools, sponges & more!!!

Fun for all… unless you don’t like spiders?!!!

Yep, good thing I rode my bike this morning!!! As it was a fun day full of sweet treats! Including a wonderful cheesecake at lunch with brownies, caramel & hot fudge. Not to be out-done with some late-night ice cream from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams… with a trio of “unique” Fall flavors!!!

Celebrating another yummy holiday… late night snacks tonight for NATIONAL HOMEMADE COOKIE DAY!!! Special thanks to Christine for making these yummy pumpkin spice oatmeal chocolate cookies for our pottery class last night!!!

Just a little snack before teaching class tonight… you know how I love a good holiday!
Just celebrating NATIONAL GUACAMOLE DAY… yum!!!

They had a birthday party yesterday for him… while I was selling pots at ART IN THE GARDEN. Many of you have known him for years as one of my art fair assistants & pottery-loaded van driver!

So here’s his birthday update… he’s still enjoying his time at Friendship Village in Schaumburg. His eyesight is not great, but he’s still very active around the place, loves excursions, karaoke & dance classes. Sure it help that he also has the cutest gal-pal in Bonnie. They’ve been together for quite some time now… ADORABLE! It’s great see them both so happy together. So here’s to many more years to come!

And it looks like my cousin Kim had all of the frosting to herself as I wasn’t there to eat it first!!!

Well, here’s the next “harvest” of pumpkins in my studio… all assembled & “pumpkintized”!!!
Now they just need some color… FALL COLORS!!! So soon?… say it isn’t so…
