A welcoming wreath on my door for all who stop by my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW today & tomorrow from 10am-6pm. We’re staying as safe as possible with limited access, face masks required, hand sanitizer, contactless checkout & more! Pottery makes the perfect holiday gift! C’mon by!

Looking to make a cute gingerbread house for the holidays?! Well my pals down at MAURIE’S SUGAR SHOPPE in Eureka, Illinois have all of the retro groovy candies you might need to decorate your masterpiece… and a LOT more treats just to eat!

Just a quick reminder.. there are plenty of wheelthrown ornaments available on my website! Perfect to help decorate your tree, to tie onto someone’s present… or after the holidays, hang in a window, suspend from the ceiling fan or add onto the chandelier!

Click here to go to My Online Pottery Shop to see what’s available online… FYI – the ornaments are listed at the end of the list!!!

Look who just popped onto my tree!!! Santa couldn’t deliver his gifts of toilet paper & hand sanitizer via ZOOM, so he put on his best mask an just stopped by with proper social distancing!! Celebrating the season as best we can… with a wonderful handmade ornament by my friend Tiffany!

If you would like one of your own, she’s busily making more like a good Elf should… and you can connect with her through Instagram – @tiff_in_quarantine

Anyone looking for a little mid-afternoon musical holiday diversion?!
Any “HAMILTON” fans out there… if so, you’ll LOVE this one!!!
Brilliantly written. Perfectly performed.

Now I really want to see the entire show “Hamilton-ized.”
Maybe some of the “Island of Misfit Toys” can become the Schuyler Sisters??? Hermey as Thomas Jefferson… or even better, the Abominable Snowman as Aaron Burr?… or would that be Aaron BRRR…!!!

Support your favorite artists this time of the year. Handmade gifts are more personal, unique and so much more fun to give… and to receive!!!

Special thanks to my friend & fellow artist Donna Sauers for making these holiday graphics so festive!!! She makes great glass-bead jewelry too! Click here to check out her Facebook page.

Hard to believe we’ve already made it to December?!
Where did the summer go so quickly???
And how can it almost be Christmas already???

I just started my Advent Calendar… a childhood memory from my Grandma Kitty. She made each of us a holiday advent calendar all hand-stitched out of felt & sequins. I went for YEARS thinking she made them just for us. So imagine my surprise, when just a few years ago a friend of mine said she has one of these handmade advent calendars too!!!

Wait… What?! “How did she know my Grandma?”

Turns out these were made from a kit… and a great Grandma Kitty secret!!!

Here we go… first by kicking off my TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS POTTERY SALE with a little musical interlude. The “official” Photo Album to shop from will be posted next on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page!!! Just getting ready for a little holiday fun… and the perfect chance for you to get some holiday gift sopping done!!!
