Personal news & some of my pottery creations 

Picture
I must apologize in being so tardy in not having blogged for a while ...I have been so busy with getting ready for Winter outside in the garden and doing maintenance work on the decks, house etc ...and have been so tired that I didn't have the heart ..I suppose I had writer's block ..ha! ha! 
Here is one of my crazy creations ...a bowl that could have many lives ..chip 'n' dip, serving bowl etc ...a 'catch all' bowl on the hall table etc.. etc..

I just love this glazing .

Danny and I were so lucky a few weeks ago we found out that we are going to my island home of Guernsey ...we will be there for 3 weeks it will be so lovely to spend this time with my Sons and family and visit with friends ...we can't wait ....
It's going to be cold there so I have been busy tramping around the shops looking for cute outfits that will keep me and Danny warm ..
I have some very special evenings planned in luxury hotels and restaurants ...so I have been finding some lovely items to wear.
It is such fun 
I had to renew my British passport and found it so easy to do ...You can just do it online now instead of how you had to do it years ago and find a nearby consulate ...which nearby could be 100's of miles away ..now with just a few 'clicks' and it's processing ...Danny even took my passport photo ..outside on the front porch with a large piece of poster card taped to the window to give me my white background ..it worked perfectly  they processed it very quickly and I am all ready to go ..

I have been secretly making pottery gifts to give to family and friends ....so I can't show you them yet ...I will when I have given them to them ...I will have lots to blog on when we are back from our trip ..with a few photo's trickling through to you all whilst we are on vacation .

My latest pottery creation was this bowl with a rose on it ...it's waiting to be put in the kiln then I can glaze it ..it's going to be a fun bowl to glaze.
The last rose bowl that I showed you in my last blog did not do well in the kiln ..it warped and was far from perfect so I will give it a little glazing effect and then keep it for a bird bath or bird feeder for next years Spring.

Loving the lace look I have done in this bowl.

Danny and I don't do Halloween .....we didn't celebrate Halloween in England/Guernsey so I hadn't seen it much till I arrived on US soil ....I love to see all the decorations and people dressed in their scary outfits
But my Friend Heather's Grandson ...sweet Maverick aka Mr. Moonpie has been to toddler Halloween parties and he is dressed up as a little monster ...ha! ha! ...so very cute  ..don't you think?

Have a Happy Halloween everyone and stay safe 

Thanks so much for popping by 

Kindest Regards 

Janet
