On This Sunny Wednesday

Sleepy Little Twins

On this sunny Wednesday I get to meet some new cousins in the family. Twins Noah and Jacob are having a party and our family has been invited. I'm excited to meet them and so is Francesco. I was inspired to draw some mice this morning. I've been using new pens which has taken away the stress that my old crow quills brought to the drawing table.

I hope your Wednesday is sunny and good too!

Fun In The Sun

The Fun
(even though it cracked)

Raku while you swim in the pool with family. Life couldn't be more perfect. Oh...wait....

The Sun

Having a good laugh at the ratties trying to snuggle after tearing their hammock to shreds makes it truly perfect. Sun. Fun. Family and Laughs....Life is good this summer!

What the....?

Cool Morning Hot Kiln

Lids fresh from the kiln

Brr!
The morning brought a chill into the house. Days like this make us want to stay indoors and cuddle up in front of the TV with a good movie on like Monsters, Inc. or Nemo while homemade chicken soup simmers on the stove. Chicken soup is definitely on the menu today as are some type of yummy tasting and smelling cookies. So comforting.

The kiln will also be on today. I haven't decided which items will go in to cook. Perhaps I'll finish the horsehair porcelain pieces. Or maybe I can get my tea pot to the bisque state. The tea cups that went along with the pot both cracked which put a damper on that project. I do need to finish it though as I am donating it to support our annual church fall outing. It will be the first time I will be presenting my pottery work in person to the public. I'm rather nervous and excited about this new adventure.

Little ones around a bracelet

So, with much enthusiasm and energy I head on off into the soothing morning sun to grocery shop. A necessary evil of a household. Afterwards, I'll make my soup and then settle into my thoughts on which items get to visit the kiln.
Perhaps I'll just finish adding some critters to the porcelain bracelet I forgot I had in my storage closet. Wearable critters! I love the idea!

Enjoy the fall sun!

Lazy Day

Lazy afternoon in the garden

It was a lazy day yesterday. I put on my comfy green pants and ugly pink shoes (which are probably the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned) early in the day and the day got progressively more lazy. I didn't feel like doing art at all. I was more content to play with my son and watch him play in the garden. I read a bit in the sun too.

I got more and more exhausted as the day dragged on and rest couldn't come soon enough, so I put myself to bed as soon as I put my son to bed. I believe some beauty rest was just what I needed because I woke this morning happy and ready to take on the day. No comfy greens for me today. Today is a day of get up and go and with that...I'm off!

:D
