The Girl Scout Cookie Monster

I've been selling mugs as fast as I can make them it seems. I'm in the process of making another big batch.

I'm getting ready to glaze them all but my studio space has been invaded by the Girl Scout Cookie Monster and the fallout of the room "addition" that my husband did. A hundred boxes of cookies takes up more room that you might think.

It's interesting how my space becomes the default dumping ground in our household. Time to make some room and deliver some more cookies - and reclaim my space so I can glaze!

Juggling

I find myself feeling like a juggler lately. Juggling a number of different "jobs" - Mom, potter, volunteer, and nurse. We've had a rough couple of months with sickness in our house. The sun is finally out and I'm hoping that the last of the lingering colds, ear infection and sinus infection will be gone soon.

This past week was mid-winter break for my kids so we took a trip to Oregon to celebrate my Mom's 77th birthday. One of my sisters organized a great heritage tour where we visited a number of pioneer grave sites of grandparents and a family farm in Corvallis. The kids ran through the field surrounding the farm house - along with my Mom. I hope I have as much energy as she does when I'm her age. I learned how to juggle from her.
