Updateyness
It's been a while since I've done any updates. I'll try to take pics of stuff this week, so you can see the horrors that Christmas inflicts upon my kiln.
Meantime, for those who weren't at Holiday Faire, I have a new apprentice. Everyone, say hi to northernotter, who is unfortunately for us, resident in the far northern reaches of Drachenwald. I say unfortunate because she's One Of The Cool Kids, and it'd be eaiser to assimlate her into the collective if she were closer. She's a Fiber Person Extrordinaire, and I expect she will be donating heavily to the Microterroist College Fund in the future.
Christmas baking is mostly done. There are 37 kinds of cookies and candy in the dining room right now, although some kids are already running out and we're on the second batch of Chex Mix. There are still a couple of kinds I'd like to get cranked out before Christmas, but if I'm not able to, it's not the end of the world.
Christmas pottery is almost done, too. Just a couple more peices for family members, then I'm done for the year and it's time to start working on stuff for Birka. And general stock for later in the year. Birka should have some new stuff, I'm just not sure what yet.
The purchasing part of Christmas is mostly done, too. I've got a few more gifts to buy, most notably for the outlaws, but today took care of many of them. My nephews aren't nearly as jazzed about getting pottery as they should be...
Yesterday a tremdously enjoyable day at ischeke's and paleobob's place Out Past Hell And Gone. Now I've got a major case of House Envy. If we ever remodel this pile of stone, I'm going to hire their architect.
Time to emulate The Boy and take a nap. He's zonked out on the sofa, so maybe I'll get the fire going and doze in the La-Z-Boy.
