Looks like Kristy & Matt had a special Valentine’s Day last weekend… celebrating with sweet treats and some sweet pottery! Thanks for sharing your special day with all of us!

Looks like someone found the perfect napkin holder… employing one of my stamped & soda-fired oval vases with the perfect fit!

Celebrating another TEXTURE TUESDAY with a large stamped platter. Started as a plain class demo piece last week… but one single stamp pressed in over, and over, and over again made quite an impact. I’m digging the “starburst” effect that radiates out from the center!

Following up with a little post-shovel “warm-me-up” cup of hot chocolate… complete with the requisite JUMBO MARSHMALLOW!!!

See?… I knew I liked shoveling for some strange reason!!!

And to quote a text from my friend Pammy…
“Your mug brightens my ho-hum day.”

Glad I could be there for her!!!

And while we’re struggling under another big blanket of snow here in Chicago… here’s a little Mugshot Monday shout-out from sunny Puerto Rico!!! That mug looks pretty happy hanging out in that exotic location!

Thanks Katherine for sharing your mug & your sunshine with us!!!

More snow means more shoveling… which also means more hot chocolate!!! Which is really just the “vehicle” to get more marshmallows into my mouth!!!

Luckily, I have more in the kitchen… as pottery classes at Lillstreet have been cancelled for tonight & tomorrow morning due to the snowstorm!!!

Celebrating another MUGSHOT MONDAY with this stamped & soda-fired mug. One of my favorites… as I’m loving how the stamp covers a lot of the mug surface, and yet leaves a lot of the mug surface intact. Kinda like a stamped “fishnet” over the surface?!

I’m always intrigued by how one little stamp
can change the whole look of a simple dinner plate!

So, unbeknownst to many… today was a National Holiday!!!
And it would just be “rude” if I didn’t celebrate, right?!

I like holidays… especially when it’s NATIONAL PIZZA DAY!!!
