Thanks for looking! You should see some of the work people do at the studio - I am in awe everytime I go in and see new finished pieces! I have a few vases that are not on walls yet - they can't hold water, so I'm looking for just the right dried flowers or grasses to put in them. I prefer real ones, as opposed to the silk ones. When I get them on walls, I'll post more pics. Lynne

plants~n~pots, I really like that idea!! (we filled old shoes with the hens~n~chicks, red sedums, and a lime green sedum.) Very nice in coloring and NO WATERING!! But I like the pots, I loved the one with the faces!! I loved the classes I took at school and when I'm done with the wee~ones That's one of the first things I'd like to do. But I love the idea of the teapots and sedums, they sound alot of fun (Thanks Jillie) I am going to do that one for my mother next year, she loved the shoes, and would move them up and down her side walk.... I'm thinking of making a bunch more and she can line the sidewalk like a parade. But we have a few cracked tea pots, and now we have found a project for them...... I'll be thinking of a ton of ideas for them..... Weezie

Weez, I agree, the one with the stamped faces is my favorite. Love the coloration, too. I keep looking at 'em..

Hey Jillie ~ I just saw part of a show on the "food channel" here that had a young woman on, named Celeste, who makes the teeny tiny foods like your daughter does out of polymer clay. That wouldn't be her, would it? They showed some incredible things - the tiniest being gummy bears in full detail that were only 1/12 of an inch!!! Just amazing, as I said before! Lynne

Hi, Lynne, Nope, that's not my Claychik, but I'm sure she's heard of Celeste. They all seem to know each other's work. If you ever see a show with Nora-Jean Gatine, Karen Lewis or Marie Segal; they're my daughter's claying buddys, & in the same guild.

A few posts ago, I wrote, "The koala still has the store sticker on the side. It says, "The Mud Daubers, pottery and gifts, Sapulpa, Oklahoma" I misspelled "Dobbers." Wouldn't it be funny if they were still in business after all these years?

Catlover, I just had to get up and turn up the thermostat just now . Is it chilly-ish in your neck o'the woods? Are we having Winter, yet? ....I'm really, truly so bad at cooking asparagus. It's supposed to be "al dente, si?". I'm a pretty decent cook, but, somehow..... I time-warp back to the 70's..... when, for my kids, it had to be all mushy with salt and butter to get them to even come CLOSE to eating it.....heck, I got used to being able to mash those spears with my fork... before I even have time to throw some ice and water into a bowl for "the plunge," the asparagi are goners. (((sigh))) I've done it really well a few times, not limp, lil' crunch at the taste test. The rest of the time I do the time-warp thing and ..you know.

Yep Jillie it has a nip to the air tonight. That breeze is the shocker. Went to the mailbox and had to run....okay walk really really fast!!!! I was gone part of the day and forgot I turned the heater down before I left and when my daughter got home of course I was quickly reminded about the lack of heat!!! Payback for leaving me freezing on the couch last night!!!

My 20 yr. old daughter and I watch Survivor together and we were snuggling on the couch. (I'm lucky ....she still allows me to cuddle with her). Anyway she left me there asleep...was she being nice and letting me sleep or was she trying to freeze me to death with no blanket!Ha Ha! We both razz each other so not quite sure!!!!! Bill suggested I be sneaky and take her blanket in the morning...but darn I was too late....then I really thought about turning on and off the sprinklers while she was in the shower! Ha Ha....."oh you were taking a shower...I'm sorry I didn't realize". :p How many times has she flushed the toilet while I was in there?????? It was all in good fun! Just wait....remember what goes around comes around!!! If she reads this I'm in trouble...

We Have Fried Marbles!!! ...and because Mr. Murphy has taken up residence....G'daughter and I opted to "bake" the marbles in a 425 degree oven in a cake pan instead of on the stove (If you'll notice in the Jillie and the Bluejays pics I have this scar running accross my forearm....I was chasing a hamburger patty accross a BIG skillet last week and layed my arm on the edge. YOW!
