go figure...

...i was just saying last night how i never seem to have my camera with me when i want it, then this morning i happened to be walking up the stairs, with my camera, and caught this little guy hanging out on the steps. cute, huh? he didn't seem to mind having his picture taken...

what happened?.....

okay, i've been a bad blogger. it's been a week since my last post...there, i said it...i have the feeling that i will be a bad blogger until sometime in mid december so here is a a cute kid pic--judson's first haircut--awww......

down time in charlotte waiting for hanna...

well, no pics to post but a quick update. things are looking good in charlotte as we wait to see what hanna has in store for us. the folks at the mint museum are wonderful, as always, and we got the display set up fairly quickly. priceline'd a great hotel downtown, packed a couple of rain ponchos in my bag, and i think I'm ready for whatever happens. i hope folks will come on out in the rain for the show--from the little we saw this evening, there are some amazing pots here. i wish i had brought my camera to show a little of the incredible pots, but here's the list of exhibiting potters,  

 if you're in the area tomorrow, check it out.....

meanwhile, we're off to a nice dinner downtown, and a relaxing evening.........gotta love it....

separated at birth?....

you decide...I've been saying for a long time that joe lieberman is max wright, otherwise known as alf's dad. (don't ask me how I even remember the show...i don't know useless info bouncing around in my head taking up space) listening to the first few sentences of lieberman's speech tonight, the sound of his voice was a dead ringer for alf's dad. Is there a conspiracy in here somewhere--i don't know what, but maybe the republicans should have put alf up as the vp candidate?

new pots...

here are some of the new pots I will be firing this week. Ive been working on some new decorations...i especially like the willow oak decoration, done on some vases and bowls. i think they are going to come out great, i really like the way the design follows the shape of the vase.

hate to even bring it up, but i'm starting to worry about all of these storms coming this way for the weekend--wonder how it will affect the show. i don't even want to think about it right now, there's still time for hanna to turn and go out to sea, right? right?????..................keep your fingers crossed.

new employee...

okay, i know it's annoying when people post pics of their kids constantly, but please humor me one more time...it was just too cute this afternoon when judson wanted to make a bowl on "that spinning thing". he was not too happy about the clay all over his hands when it was done, but he's pretty excited about making his own snack bowl...okay, that's the end of the cute kid stuff...
