Also waxing the bottoms of a bunch of mugs, bowls, vases & more for some upcoming glaze firings. Have I said it lately?… I love waxing!!! Gotta replenish before my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!

Just when I told myself that already I had made enough… here’s another 10×10 challenge! More than ten by 10:00am! Another batch of Christmas Trees to add to the “Christmas Tree Lot” that will be showing up at my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW in two weeks!

Had a fun night of stamping in my studio tonight. Lots of bowls with a lot of decorative rims!
Just trying to get them all done for my Holiday Home Show… just two weeks away!!!

Dark & gloomy… with just a hint of pastel colors this morning.
Plus one “window” of blue showing through over the City skyline.

Looks like my friends Mary Foster & Amy Taylor have been working on some sweet little collaborations just for THE COZY COTTAGE POP-UP this Friday & Saturday! Small paintings encased in handmade metal pendants. C’mon by the Cottage to see them in person!!!

Mango. Passion Fruit. Lychee. Croissant.
Four things that don’t normally go together in my head… but this is beautiful, so now I’m intrigued. Thanks for sharing your yummy dessert photo Kristy!

Another 10×10 Challenge morning. It was raining when I woke up… so I went to the studio instead of pedaling. And decided I needed to focus on making some new “holiday mugs” for my upcoming HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!

Less than a week away… THE COZY COTTAGE POP-UP!
A fun gathering of artists to kick-off the holiday shopping season. An intimate setting in Mary Foster’s home on the north side of Chicago. There will be lots of handmade treasures which make perfect gifts for your friends, family… and even yourself!!! Jewelry, paintings, prints, fused glass & plenty of pottery for everyone! Mark your calendar for this Friday evening & all day Saturday! C’mon by the Cozy Cottage!!!

Quick trip downtown on a beautiful Autumn day.
Love the architectural juxtapositions throughout the City!

Too wet from the rain this morning to bike…
so I thought making some serving bowls was the next best thing!
