Birthday Mug


Sometimes I splurge on something just for myself even if I know I shouldn't and that's just what I did this past summer. I purchased this absolutely beautiful mug from Lori of Fine Mess Pottery for my birthday. I just love the shape, texture, and the color. I happen to love lavender and purple and I see it so infrequently in pottery, so when I saw this mug Lori made I just had to have it. Thanks Lori, I truly treasure this mug.

The local RV park characters of the cat lady and bird man seem be shy so I haven't been able to take their photos to show you. I have my camera ready and I finally learned how to upload and do some minor editing with my laptop so I just need some subjects, hopefully they will reveal themselves soon.

I'm taking care of a few details of tires, tune ups, and paper work. As usual things take much longer and cost much more than I originally anticipated. Meanwhile I glazed some Cone 4, 5, and 10 work I made months ago and it's being fired and I should have photos coming up soon, so stay tuned.

  5. To answer your question, it is a fungus not a bacteria and needs an antifungal to treat it and it needs to be taken oraly if that is what you have. I would check it out with a doctor. Good luck. It is nothing to play with.

  7. Hi Patti, thanks.

    Hi Kitty, no problem I figured you were superbusy with your commissions and other work since you were gone for a couple of weeks unexpectedly. Now that I have less to do it seems I am getting less done myself, silly really, I guess I am just resting from all the work I had to do the last three months and all the heat from the summer I barely survivled. Take it easy.
