Christmas Tree






I never seem to remember to take pictures.   Here, for posterity, is my beautiful tree.



It is full of the ornaments I have collected over the years, mostly gifts from friends who are fondly remembered as I hang each little treasure.


There are the many eggs mom decorated so meticulously, with tiny scenes inside and glittering rhinestone outside.


And there are the family ornaments that go back to my childhood.  











Not a lot of presents under the tree.  The cats were not willing to wait for theirs, once they got a whiff of the nip inside.  And I haven't got others wrapped yet.  Or finished.  


So I need to get back to my knitting.

There are Pots at Last!






I have finally managed to complete and
photograph some pots. I have resolved my glaze problems and things are coming out nicely.

My photography needs work, but the colors are pretty accurate, and they are reasonably sharp.








Taking some days off work to spend in the studio made all the difference.  




I sold a couple of the best things before getting pictures.  But selling is good.  Very good.  


Many more photos here:
