The studio is closed for the season, but you can find us at craft shows and on etsy!!

Well, summer does have to end, and now I have moved my pottery wheel and assorted stuff into the basement for the winter. There, I work and listen to audiobooks to keep the creative spirit going.
We have a sign posted out at the studio directing folks who still stop by to come to the back door, and fetch us if they want to see what's up in the studio. And we hit the craft show route more and more.
This weekend in Eagle River is Cranberry Fest
the week end of the 9th and 10th I will be in Egg Harbor WI for their pumpkin fest.
In between we work on inventory!! And enjoy the fall colors.

August in the Studio

The summer has just flown by, hard to believe it is August. There has been so much done, house painted, yard cleanup, studio flowers to keep going no matter what the weather. Barry and I want to list the house for sale, which means alot of work. We have been doing alot of art and craft shows, besides daily life at the studio. The gardens are looking great, my goldfish are getting bigger in the little pond and the hummingbirds are fighting over the Siberian Catmint. Just beautiful days. Thank you God!!

3 plus inches of rain in 8 days!

So really, we hardly had any snow this past winter, and the lakes up here are really suffering. June 7th was the last day the sun was out, I kid you not. The rains came, which makes life difficult since it's hard to get things dried and fired. And with the rain came temps in the upper 50s and mid 60s. Brrr. Oh well, at least my garden is very happy for the rain. And our rain buckets are full. I have been throwing bowls and plates, so will be busy painting tomorrow.

Early June

We have been busy in the studio and at craft shows this May and June. The rains have greened up the northwoods but it still is considered in drought conditions. Besides working and selling at our studio we also hit the road and sell at craft shows. That has it's own set of problems, mostly bad weather. I was at New Richmond WI last Saturday, June 5th and we got shut out by the morning drizzle turning to rain by 1 pm. I hate packing up in the rain, but oh well, it's what we do! Barry will be setup at Saint Germain WI's "Walk in the Woods" art show this Saturday June 10th. I'll be working at the studio.
Hope to see you there, or here!
