Had to swing by the studio for a little Sunday stamping!!! When your pots are drying, you need to catch them at just the right point to get some good stamped impressions. A little on the wetter-side of leatherhard. And this class-demo platter was ready… so I did a little stamping… all done with just one of my own handmade clay stamps!

Another STUNNING Autumn day! Sure, I have the longest list of things I "should" be doing... that I "need" to be doing"... and yet I "just had to" get outside for possibly one last blast of Fall perfection for another nature hike. This time it was out to my childhood favorite hike around the lake at ROCK CUT STATE PARK. The colors are still changing. I thought they would be a little further along, but I think the warm weather we've been enjoying has slowed down the color-change a bit. Didn't matter... still plenty of color to find & nature to enjoy!

Too soon for poinsettias… instead, this is the Smoke Bush in front of my condo. For some reason, only the tips of the branches are turning red so far?!

Meanwhile... off to the side... while the sunrise was happening over the lake, a slight glance to the south had THIS stunning sunrise floating over the skyline!

And then there's the "real" panoramic shot using the setting on my camera. Sometimes it looks right... and sometimes it creates a weird "fishbowl" effect. Beautiful... but just a little "off." 🤣

Once again... bigger skyshows need bigger pictures!

Another beautiful day… so it seemed somehow wrong to be cleaning & “shutting down” my front porch this afternoon. I’m gonna try to keep this begonia alive just a little bit longer inside. Good thing I had an extra flowerpot all ready to go. Fingers crossed…

Another 10x10 Challenge! More than ten pieces thrown before 10:00am. This time working on another batch of mugs… just replenishing inventory for my upcoming Holiday Home Show! Always the weekend before Thanksgiving… mark your calendars!

FINALLY SOME CLOUDS!!! Yay!!! See what a difference a few clouds can make... compared to the clear sky mornings we've had the rest of the week. Maybe it's just me, but I love these "dramatic cloud" mornings with color splashing & streaking across the sky. Sure, clear skies are nice and all... but c'mon...
