Getting to work...

I don't get much chance to work these days. I have Kaeleb three or four days a week, and when I have a day off, I find myself running errands, grocery shopping, etc. Not having a car regularly contributes to the difficulty of getting into the garagio. I am afraid I am hopelessly behind on preparing for the Christmas rush. Today, I am going to try and get down there and do some stuff. I need to make a wedding present, and it has to be nice. Really nice. Then I will try and make some smallish pieces like ornaments, and such, for the holidays. This time last year, I was going crazy preparing for a show in November. I kind of miss that frenzy. NOT!

I have a few new ideas I am trying out. For fun, I did a few mugs with animals on them. These were totally inspired by my friend and fellow potter, Gary Rith. (Check out his blog!) I am not going to put these in my etsy shop, but they were fun to make!

James and I have been kind of wrapped up in a new interest. Well, a resurgence of an old interest actually. Legos. We bought the Lego Duplo train for Kaeleb and we have all been having fun playing with it. The Lego site has all kinds of cool stuff on it. You can download a program that allows you to build models, then figure how much they will cost to make. Then you can upload the model, and order the parts! They even will make you a custom box for it. Very cool!
