Busy, busy.

I'm in the home stretch getting ready for my Fall shows. Last week I had a terrible firing (most of the pots came out with terrible blisters, ugh), so I made some more, loaded the kiln and tried again. The kiln is cooling today so I won't know until tomorrow if the adjustments I made worked. Fingers crossed.

This weekend Aaron added on to the shelter over the kiln. He extended the roof for more shade and rain cover and built a table I can use for loading pots. I've already used it and it's gonna make my life a lot easier. It definitely beats what I was using for a table,  cinderblocks and an old door. 

Here's a picture of Spot, our new cat. She's turning out to be a good mouser already. Now our 12-year old cat, Teddy, is missing. He's been gone since Thursday when there were tornadoes in the area. I'm wondering if he didn't get turned around in the storm, everyday I keep thinking he'll show up.

Here's Gertie doing downward dog pose.
