Facing the chores

"Cleanliness is next to impossible"

Long time, no post. I've been busy with a variety of projects including a deep clean of the pottery shop. I haven't lost the pencil and sketchbook and haven't figured out why I'm not posting of late.

Hope you're having a happy summer.

Not to be confused with....

OMG!!! Run for your lives! The cassocks are invading!

     I was thinking about some historical reference to invaders called Cossacks. An inadvertent transposition of vowels later and viola! Even though this conflation happened a couple of weeks back, publishing the toon now is almost prescient given that Anglican and Lutheran leaders are gathering at a retreat next week. Maybe the town and the retreat site will echo our little panicky guy here.....

Mugs--sometimes I draw them, sometimes I throw them

From Sunday night's glaze firing

I sort of like the glaze combo here. I'm still toying with a variety of shapes and design elements. Testing involves coffee drinking (and some dish washing).

The Pen is Still Moving

This one is just a random drawing while we were waiting for supper recently. I've been busy with the day job, making pots and doodling. Posting said doodles has been where the activity has waned.

Spring has finally arrived here, so today I look forward to making some of my rounds on bicycle. Cheers!

Happy April Fools' Day

When mathematicians laugh

Face the Monday

So I'm like, 'who has time to wait for instant coffee?'

Spring in the making?

The screamin' storm

Friends in the maritime provinces have been whalloped by winter storms and record snow fall. Our winter has been moderate. Today? Blowing snow and some power outs and school closures. Many of us mutter "winter can't last forever, can it?".

Greta and Zoe 1998

I'm thinking of our 'special friends' who are now waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. Two years ago today Greta (the black and tan doxie) died. Zoe lived another year and a half. Both dogs lived a long life and certainly gave us much joy. We still miss them.
