12/20/24 Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Feliz Navidad, and Mele Kalikimaka!

Holiday wishes to everyone: I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, Feliz Navidad and a Mele Kalikimaka. I'll be making tamales and possibly pozole for Noche Buena (Xmas Eve). We plan to make a turkey for Xmas dinner; I may have potato latkes and spam rice and eggs for brunch on Xmas. We're extending our holiday celebration to include Epiphany on Jan. 6. It's just a nice, low-key way to some family time. 

I looked at my last post from November where I say I've been on the slow burn, turning out pottery at the rate of about 6 per week. I continue to go at this pace as my minimum. Being it's the week before Christmas, I turned up the heat. I have 12 pieces from this week (rather than 6) that I have to pick up tomorrow!

I've taken my own good advice and have been making crafty pottery regularly. Fuckery that nobody asked for. Shit that I do just because I feel like making something stupid. I started making stylized stone lanterns and mushroom lanterns. Just for the fuckery of it. 

I'm doing my best to keep busy and motivated. I work out most days and I watch what I eat. I don't drink. I don't smoke. My drug of choice is coffee. Diet, exercise, weight loss = healthy body and mind. 

I'm still in the studio most weeknights, blasting Deadmau5. The craft room is crowded. Bernie has decided to store our holiday decorations in there. I like that everyone in the house is using the craft room.
