Sad, sick kid!

My day off is planned out for me. I will be taking care of my poor little guy! He has had a fever and nasty cough since yesterday. He will be getting out of bed to go to the Doctor, hopefully this morning. Wilson loves school and I think he is more upset about missing a day of school than he is about being sick. Fevers are scary- the thermometer read 104 degrees this morning! I gave him a couple of acetaminophens and it has gone down to 101.
Today I will be known as "Nurse Nancy".

Good Morning!

Cookies of the day: Oatmeal with English Toffee! YUMMMMM!

I can't believe it is Friday already! WOW! I have been really busy painting at the gallery- it is nice to actually use my studio there. Of course, if I am busy doing my own work that usually means I am not talking to customers and selling fabulous art work made by other local artisans. It is kind of a double whammy!
I am looking forward to a visit from my usual Friday lunch club- always fun to visit with my girls!
I hope everyone has a FABULOUS FRIDAY!

OOOPS!

Okay, so I finished this oil bottle last night and I cooked it this morning. It looks great, and I am excited to take it to the gallery and put it on a shelf. Then, I look at the bottom and discover I had forgotten to sign it! It will be on display tomorrow- after I sign and cook again! It is a nice looking bottle though.

I need some of these!

I love this piece! It is a large utensil crock- very functional, and would look great in almost any kitchen. The problem is, I have a very hard time finding plain colored crocks to paint on. Maybe I can ask a certain pottery guy I know to throw a couple for me? I really need to do more of these. What do you think pottery guy???

Wacky Morning!

I have had a morning to forget! Wilson, who is usually the most well behaved child had a meltdown about 15 minutes before the bus was to come. He wanted to play on the computer before school, and didn't have enough time. This started a massive chain of crying, yelling, and pure distress! Finally he understood, and said he was sorry, and he would try to have a good day at school. We made the bus just in time. Mommy was left with a headache!

I have been working on a new biz card for Jodi at Bun Appetit Bakery. I will be showing her this before I hit the gallery this morning. I think it looks pretty good- hope she likes it!
If you are ever in town, stop by a get yourself a treat- good, naughty stuff! Since I am a bit stressed out I am sure I will be looking for a "comfort treat"!

items to finish today

Here is a collage of pieces I would like to get to the gallery tomorrow. They are all waiting for finishing touches, and another "cooking".
My first floorcloth class is full- I was a bit surprised it filled up so fast, but people have been really receptive. I am excited, it is a fun project.
On with my day, I'm glad I will be inside and warm- It is COLD out there!

Productive weekend

I started this bowl yesterday, and It is almost finished- my brush was flying! I still need to finish the rim with my dots, but I am happy with my progress.
I also have 2 oil bottles almost finished- my inventory is starting to fill up nicely. If I keep production going I should be in good shape by the time I start the Ithaca Farmers' Market in May!
My floorcloth class is almost full- I have room for 1 more person in this session, I will be doing another class later in the spring.
Well, I will be picking Wilson up early from school today- we have to go to the dentist- YUCK!!! I HATE going to the dentist, I'm sweating already!
