Welcome to 2025!!!
Hard to believe that another year has passed. Yet I’d like to thank everyone for making 2024 my most successful “pottery year” ever! The undying commitment, support & encouragement of my friends, family & Followers really keeps me going. I’m looking forward to the New Year with a few “new” ideas in mind. Time to get back in the studio, time to start teaching again, time to start planning my calendar & time get back into the swing of things! Looking forward to another fun & successful year!

Thanks to everyone who came to my place for a little holiday shopping today! I figured I would make one of my Mom’s favorite treats… Pumpkin Squares with Cream Cheese Frosting. She made them few times for my holiday shows, so I thought it would a nice touch to do it again in her honor!!!

Don’t worry… I have another pan of them ready for tomorrow’s shoppers too!!!

Fresh from the kiln… ready for this weekend!!!

Looks like Kristen has quite the mug collection going here! If you need to start your own collection… or add a few more to what you already have?… don’t forget that this weekend is my SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. Open both days from 10:00am-6:00pm and I’ve replenished so I’ll have over a hundred mugs on the shelves to choose from again!!!

Sometimes the perfect holiday gift needs an extra special box to put it in? Or sometimes that special box IS the gift?!!! I’ve got some special soda-fired boxes ready for this weekend’s SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW All lidded & ready to go… some with compartments inside too!!!

See what they looked like before & after soda-firing!

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
Hope you surround yourself with family, friends, food & everything that makes you smile.
Be thankful. Be grateful. Be happy.

Now THAT’s a lot of stamps!!! Actually, the surface decoration was created with just one of my handmade clay stamps. Pressed into the rim one-by-one, by one, by one, by one… all the way around a couple times! Fresh out of the kiln… again with my new favorite glaze… at least for this week!!! HA!!!

Just showing off more of my new Christmas Mugs!!! Two styles… green trees & red ornaments! Kinda make a perfect holiday pairing! Handmade mugs with my own handmade clay stamps, colored slips & a soda-fired finish. All of these mugs will be making their first appearance this weekend at my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW.
