Handles attached… we now “officially” have mugs!!!
I’m a firm believer that by definition a “mug” needs a handle!
While some of my students might try to convince me otherwise… I’m not buyin’ it!!!

Another day pulling handles & making mugs!!!
My favorite thing to make… MUGS!

Been stamping some mug cylinders this morning. Adding some textures & patterns to the sides. Pressing in each stamp one by one… by one… by one…











My first 10×10 CHALLENGE of the New Year! And starting with my favorite thing to make… MUGS of course!!! More than ten thrown before 10:00am! Giddy-up!!!

Kickin’ it off with my first Mugshot Monday of the NEW YEAR!!!
All the way from Nova Scotia where this one landed to live with the rest of Shannon’s mug collection! Looking great out in the Canadian Wilderness!

While the Elves might not be “Elfin’ on the Shelfin” anymore… they are enjoying a cozy night inside. As we get more snow tonight, looks like Eric’s elf is enjoying a warm cup… and his puppy is enjoying the fireplace! Both smart choices. Thanks for sharing Eric!

Looks like there was some yummy Christmas morning brunch happening down in central Illinois yesterday. Yummy monkey bread with fruit & coffee… all in some fun holiday pottery!!! Thanks for sharing your morning moments with us Allyn!

So excited that this recent shipment of mugs made it safely to North Carolina… just in time for Mugshot Monday! And even better… it looks like they already have a shelf of their own to show them off!!! Thanks Gwynne for sharing your collection… that went from one mug to seven in a blink!
