HOSPICE Tiles Installed!

I was honored to be asked to make tiles for the new Randolph County HOSPICE House. There is a tile buy every door and a few on the large donor plaque in the main entrance. The tiles came out great adding a warm touch as you pass through the building and I think go well with the over all feel of the facility. They chose the tiles glazed in Key lime green, amber, water blue, grass green, purple eggplant and turquoise. This is the first in house facility for Randolph county HOSPICE and its a beautiful warm and inviting space. Sometimes its the little touches that make a space feel so warm, such as this one.

The people that put it all together did an amazing job and didn't forget about the little things like my tiles that add that extra touch making you feel at home, calm and peaceful. At a place like the Randolph County HOSPICE House it's very important. I'm so glad I was able to have my work installed there! If your in the area Stop buy and see for your self at, The Randolph County HOSPICE House, 446 Vision Drive Asheboro N.C.
Judson took the picture of me and then had to pose in front of the Spa for one of himself!

Saturday Sale, life's getting in the way

Im still getting ready for the sale on this saturday December 4th, I know I should be further ahead buy now but you know how life gets in the way?
I had a Sick little boy to attend to today Judson stayed home sick, strep throat again. He had it a few weeks ago and then I think caught it again at daycare.
So now I'm way behind and Just a few days ago I was ahead? So tomorrow is going to be one of those better get it done days! One last load of tiles to fire before Saturday I need to finish glazing them all load the kiln and have it started buy the afternoon...... This all was on the schedule for today but there was no way it was happening with the sick little boy home today. It's a good thing he's cute!
On the bright side I think I can get everything finished but the tiles may be a little warm unloading them late friday evening. I always seem to get behind before an event usually its for reasons like I want to make a few more pots a different shape or style then last time. Or Im in the groove on glazing and decorating that I am so enjoying where its all going letting the creativity flow with new Ideas popping in my head, I want to take the time to see them and let them flow freely seeing where it all leads. So Im spending more and more time on each piece and I get behind working late tired but so, so happy. :-)
This time its Just a little bit of life getting in the way but Im so enjoying that too!
