one of my sets ready for the show at the gallery

I've been very busy! Unloaded the kiln today - and this is one of my showpieces for the show at the Gallery Nov. 10
I have about 2 more glaze loads to fire and then i can relax, well at least untill i pack it up to take to the events.
Also been busy with cleaning my house, everything got out of hand during harvest, i was on the field allot and my house got left behind. It was very overwhelming, Margi found an add in the paper about someone who does house organizing. I gave her a call and she has been here 3 times, we are going through the house room by room and closet by closet. She is wonderful!! We have 3 rooms left and then everything should be gleaming!

I'm having trouble loading the picture - will try again later

I had so much fun yesterday! Margi came for the day and we did silk paintings. We are working on "little things" to put in our show in Nov. we had some very good results.
Also did a glaze firing in my new kiln, I peeked in this morning. As far as i can tell it looks like it turned out. Although i could only see the top shelf, i keep going to the studio every hour to see if i can start unloading, still way to hot.

Today we had the local Roland Pumkin Fair. I had a table with my pottery, it was a good day. I don't think we had as many people coming through the craft tables this year but i did ok. I like meeting all the other crafters and talking to the many people that are interested in what i do. I sold all my big platters, i was a little surprised, i sold more of the bigger things this years. last year i sold mostly small things like mugs, goblets, and bowls. This time it was large bowls, platters, and water pitchers. Also the slumped wine bottles where a big hit, I think i packed up 13 and i came home with 2.
Now i have to get busy for the November sale in Morden.
