The Chicago Curfew was lifted yesterday afternoon!!! So I can finally get back on the road with my bike early enough to catch the morning sunrise again! That lockdown from 9:00pm-6:00am was killing me as the sunrise is currently like 5:15am… and it’s the half hour prior that is the prettiest part!

And now I just need Mayor Lightfoot to re-open the Chicago Lakefront Trail and I’ll be REALLY HAPPY!!!

Just one hour left… I’m starting to assemble the “official” POP-UP POTTERY SALE Photo Album that I’ll post only on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page at 7:00pm CST.

Once it’s LIVE… the first person to comment with “MINE” in the Comment Section of a single photo gets that pot! It’s first come, first serve… and a bit old-school. But it seems to work for me… as everyone can see what’s been claimed already, and what is still available.

You’ve seen a lot of previews today…
we’ve got just about an hour until the shopping begins! WHOO-HOO!!!

And who are we kidding… change that to GOBS OF HOT FUDGE!!!

Feeling blue on a beautiful Sunday afternoon?!
Maybe a new blue handmade mug would cheer you up?

Continuing with our weekly installment from Cirque du Soleil… this time they’ve pulled together contortionists & hand-balancers! As always, the performances, the costumes, the music, the lighting… I LOVE IT ALL!!! And this time, I’ve seen all of them live… except for the “phosphorescent” one in the middle! Not quite sure which show that was from?!

And I especially love the ones from KURIOS… the quickness & whimsy as they move & twist while stacking themselves on that steampunky hand!!!

A little morning clarity…
