Well, we’ve finally made it to the end of the month… and I can’t believe tomorrow is already October!!! How did THAT happen??? Anyway, the end of the month also means another CHAIN for the Monthly Chain Challenge! I started awhile back… with this little pile of extruded fun!!!

Another cute moment during ART IN THE BARN was when this little guy found the Werewolf Ghouls on the bottom shelf… he was mesmerized… and carried on trying to convince his Mom that he really “needed” one of them for his room! Well played Levi… I hope you’re enjoying your new Ghoul!!!

And don’t think the Red Devil Hats were just for the kids… but also the “Kid-at-Hearts”!!! I mean… who doesn’t want to look just like their new favorite Ghoul in the collection?!

So while I was unloading the kiln last Friday with my new Little Red Devils, one of my studio mates said she had a bunch of red devil hats in her studio for no apparent reason. Someone had just dropped them off hoping she could do something with them… and she offered them to me! Crazy coincidence, huh?

So of course I took them… and gave them away with some of the Little Red Devils during ART IN THE BARN last weekend. Too funny!!! But I’m not sure if little Teagan is more into the Red Devils, or the caramel apple lollipop?! She’s still ADORABLE either way!

I had a very colorful morning today. The clouds continued to change as the miles continued to pass. Breezy clouds wisping across the sky, with a few contrails mixed in for good measure!

Yesterday morning we had some crazy-cool crashing waves breaking all over the lakefront. Windy, loud & misty from the crashing waves. So much fun riding… as well as stopping to “capture” some of the crashing waves! Timing is everything… timing to get the photo, and timing to NOT get caught in the splash!!!

We started the morning with some simple clouds, but they quickly blew away! Leaving behind a lot of clear skies & brilliant sunshine!

But yesterday…

Clear skies again this morning. Just a few wispy clouds floating through… as the water gently rippled with shimmering reflections across the lake.

Colorful bowls, stamped textures & Fall gourds… all ready for Day Two of ART IN THE BARN in Barrington. Its another beautiful day here… so come on down to the Lower Barn! We’re here until 5:00pm today!

While you’re at ART IN THE BARN today, be sure to stop by to see my friend Sandy’s beautiful botanicals captured with a wonderful patina! Fantastic pieces further down in the Lower Barn with “Of Nature Jewelry.”
