I have picked up and put down this sweater for years now. I started with leftover yarn from A Hundred Ravens from their Phoenix Yaksha Mini Set. I loved it, but I felt like I needed more. So I waited for the next time I saw them at a fair and bought another one, but it wasn't enough. The next year at Maryland Sheep and Wool I bought 2 skeins of Lannister Yaksha. That got me closer, but again I ran out of yarn. This year I was only going to buy one skein more, but then thought better of it and bought two - just in case.

When I got to the edging someone from work suggested that I do leaves. My first go round I ran out! So I frogged it all and spaced them out a little more and now its done! It's amazing and really soft. I can't wait for it to get just a little cooler to wear it. It's a very fall sweater.




I've crocheted this tree before in my Rainbow Tree of Life Poncho. This started as a large granny square. Then I added in front panels and sewed them on.




From there I added a collar and simple sleaves.

I made 2 tests using my new starry night roller that I got. I used all stroke and coats for the main picture and then frosted lemon for the rim and back. I used Carribean Blue, Moody Blue, Tuxedo, Silver Lining, Cotton Tail, Dandelion, Butter Me Up, and Sunkissed. No idea when this will get in the kiln, I didn't finish before I ran the kiln and what I have left isn't a full kiln.

The next few weeks are going to be busy! First, working a lot. Traveling for work 3 days a week has meant a whole lot of adjustments in my schedule. Second, going to visit the in-laws in Oregon for a long weekend. Then we are going back to the cabin. AND...August is GONE. First week in September will be the Brandywine show in Delaware!

I love the cherry plate, it was an idea I had with some new sponge brushes I got in a giant pack from Amazon. The vase with the leaf came out way better than the flop of a plate with the leaf. Everything else is gearing up for fall shows.

I feel like I've done nothing but glaze recently, but also I've done nothing but work and glaze recently. The plate is really disappointing. I used Mayco matte clear and apparently the instructions were not correct. The bottle says 2-3 coats, but now that I've seen this and done some research people say 1 thin coat. I have another plate I did the same that I'm going to wipe down and start over with.

I do really like the vase which has milk glass on it the top instead of the clear.

Everything with the leaves turned out amazing. I think I need to make some mugs with this color scheme at some point.

The dreidel crabs came out amazing. I think those are going to make some people who celebrate across holidays very happy. I definitely think I need one of these.
