and then I couldn't resist this little dish in the Lotus glaze.

 I bet you couldn't

tell it's one of my favorites. *smile*

 The Cherry Blossom Lotus Vase

is an older piece that I haven't had available

 in my shop for a while now. It would make a great

gift for a loved one that collects unique pottery.

Threadbanger Today

I've picked up a few hobbies in the last two years. Sewing and knitting. I hardly ever get the chance to make anything since I'm usually busy in one or the other studio making art. But tonight I felt like working with fiber. I've been knitting a scarf that goes along with a hat I finished last week. It's for a friend who had a birthday in January. I know it's a month late, but I'm still learning!

Here I am modeling the first hat I ever knitted. I used one skein instead of two like I did on the darker one. I like them both, but I like the one made with two skeins a little better because it isn't so hole-y.

I have been wanting to make throw pillows for our bed since last year! A couple months ago I found some really cool fabric at Alco. Tonight I decided was the night to just get the sewing machine out and make them. They are the largest pillows I've made yet. 18"x18". They didn't turn out too bad. The little one was made last year.

FACEBOOK

I've been on Facebook for awhile now. But recently I discovered how to make a page. With this page you can promote yourself a little better without all the "fun stuff" that tends to clutter your presence. On this new page I will post new work, upcoming events AND will have a FREE giveaway of a signed and dated print to the first fan that mentions the offer each month this year. This is a new thing for me, but I want to give back to fans of my work. I've noticed a lot of my friends like my work, but don't have that extra cash for art. So I decided to offer this print as a gift. =) I'm hoping this will be a fun event that includes old and new fans alike.

If you'd like to become a fan of my work and have the opportunity to win a FREE print, sign up today!
