Christmas/Yule decorations now available for sale on Etsy.com

While the snow sifts down like icing sugar from the heavens, I'm tucked away in my cozy office tapping away at the keyboard of my computer.

I've been here pretty much all day - well, I had to step out at 5:00 to go teach a couple of belly dance classes. I got home at 10:00 and settled into some late night dining. I made Butter Chicken earlier - a low fat version - and noshed on that while I answered some long overdue email and chatted with my sweetie.

Now the kitty is in her box, the hubby is in bed snoring and the night owl (yes, that would be me) is still working! I've been on the go all day doing a variety of things, but the most exciting thing is that I've joined Etsy.com where all things are handmade.

I've got visions of Gingerbread men dancing in my head. If you'd like to see my cute inedible Gingerbread men, stars and peacocks, feel free to mosey on over to: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6472762

The night owl is fading.

Hello Out There in TV Land!

Detail - textured white jug. Photo by moi.

I did my first TV interview for a local French television station on Tuesday! Cable access channel 22 in Buckingham, Québec will air the short spot to promote my Holiday Pottery sale (info just below in last week's post) on Thursday evening at 6pm with arts specialist Brigitte Lussier.

By the way, I did not speak in French during this interview. My French isn't very good at all. Michele Pillott, who interviewed me however, said that it was his first interview in English, so that was cool. His English is very good!

6th Annual Holiday Sale!

Yummmmm....gingerbread men! Terracotta clay and white slip "icing."

My goodness! It's been nearly a month since my last post here and it literally feels like yesterday.

Much has happened since - much life that is, not as much pottery as I would have liked to happen. Although I really DO underestimate my powers of creation in the studio, so I shouldn't say that. In fact I have made dozens and dozens (maybe even hundreds!) of Yule decorations that are cooling in the bisque kiln right now along with large serving platters and bowls, small personal bowls and a few projects that my student made. I have more to get cooked waiting on the sidelines for now as they are not quite dry. We're talking lidded serving dishes, folks.

Here's the skinny on my upcoming sale just one week away!! EEEEK!
