We have been having 70 degree days.
How can you beat that!?
I know a change is coming and winter will be on us soon , but it is hard to beat these days of still warm days or as I love to call the , "the flue days".
We have been catching up on other things besides pottery, but are getting back in the swing of things pottery wise as well.
The bisque kiln was loaded yesterday, after a trip to buy a new microwave and put the car in the shop, and today we are back on the wheel.
It always seems that December is a month where we catch up on all things ignored.
The car goes in the shop.
A closet gets cleaned out.
I pay attention to the dust and the corners in the house.
I look at the pile, I mean really look, of the year's worth of paper work.
You all know what I mean.
We all tend to shove this stuff aside while we are busy and then the next think you know it crawls out like a forgotten long lost cousin that you always knew was there but no one wants to talk about.
Now I still need to finish fixing the blog, catch up on the piles and corners and figure out what is happening for next year.
And don't even say Christmas shopping...
There it is out there as well.
We find that we are so busy making sure that our customers have their gift shopping done that we get a bit behind...and the family after 30 years does not want more, or sure they do---pottery?!
I did go do something fun Sunday and went off with a group to make a wreath.
I had never done anything like this before and it was fun to just lose myself in the process.
I did not think I just did.
It was relaxing and there was hot chocolate and nibbles... Mark stayed home to fish and watch football.
I bet he would pay real money to send me off again.
Hummm
Well pots are calling.

It was great to see one being used by Tracey at her end of the day, blow out weekend.
Note to self- change her blog feed to The Fifth Floor.....

Beautiful wreath! No "flue days" for you, I hope!
Gorgeous work! Your wreath is awesome!! You've definitely inspired me.
That mug stayed in my hand most of the day! What a great handle Mark makes.
Did you say Christmas shopping? ugh! We haven't even begun. You are so right, I'm busy making sure everyone else has gifts to buy and no, my family isn't going to want pottery either! But since none of them bothered to show up at my studio tour (and live close enough to do so) they may not get one stinking thing! There, I got it out on your blog where they won't read it haha!!!
Beautiful wreath, I love the colors, it looks so nice with the new colors on your blog! It's lookin' good :)
Look at those beauty berries on the wreath it looks beautiful.
Your wreath is beautiful and must have been so fun to hang out with friends while making it!
Yall have been so busy - sure hope the holiday spirit kicks in and moves you to much happiness this season!
Put that pile of paperwork aside and have a glass of cheer instead!
beautiful wreath... and you will enjoy it so much more since you made it yourself!
hi meredith,
you cleaned a closet! wow, that would take me months. the temp's been nice here too but accompanied by very much rain. louisville is set to break its all time annual rainfall mark. my basement is flooded as you may have guessed. lovely mugs
Warm here too. I actually had to mow the lawn yesterday! But that also means I've taken care of the last of the leaves. Now waiting for that last preChristmas bisque to cool....REALLY love the wreath. You did a beautiful job! Bet it smells awesome too.
PG- no flu I hope! But the hot/cold can bring it on
The wreath was a blast to make!
Laurie- I bet you will do one that will rock out!
TB- I know what you mean! and thanks for standing there holding Mark's mug- how nice to show how we use one anther's work.
