A friend of mine challenged me to think of more fall things that could be luminaries. I was sitting on the couch and it came to me - Squiggle Witch! How cute did these come out?!?!?

Don't forget I'll be at the Belle Aire Market this Sunday June 11th.

Really happy with all but one thing in this kiln. There were a couple of experiments in here that worked out well. The only thing that didn't work is my bee which is actually ok becuase I'll use it as an experiment for an after glaze effect soon.

Not a ton of things in this kiln because of the giant vase. I'm so excited for the squiggle vase. It came out a little more muted than I thought it would, but I still love it. I'm also loving how the pitcher came out. I wasn't sure how cherry blossom would do on Laguna 60, but I really like it.

I got these sprigs recently from Amazon. One of my coworkers wanted to do a commission in Pewabic style. I had to learn first what Pewabic is and there are a lot of sprigs of ginko and calla lily. I'm already big into calla lilies so I ended up buying them to experiment. I'm still not sure I can make my style of pottery Pewabic, but I do like how these are turning out.

We had a good long weekend at the cabin. The dogs had a lot of fun. We experimented more with letting Willow off the leash and she sort of listened most of the time. She's getting better though. River continued her journey as a water dog. She doesn't want to get wet initially, but once she's wet then it's game on and she'll just keep going in. Both dogs are totally warn out.

I will be at Carroll County Art in the Park this Saturday June 3 and the Belle Aire Market next Sunday June 11.

This pattern looks amazing, but is actually pretty simple once you get the hang of it. I got the stitch pattern from Crochet Kingdom.


For this shirt I used Dragonfly Fibers Sylph Worsted in Love in a Mist. Each skein is 200 yards and I used 2 skeins - one for the front and one for the back. I used a 4.5 mm hook.




I cast on 55 + 7 and worked it until the yarn ran out. I then sewed it together leaving 8 inches for the arms and about 9 for the neck.
