Hang on tight!

Woosh! Things are moving so fast I might need a seat-belt soon.

The glaze firing on the 24 went off without a hitch. One yarn bowl ran but came off the shelf with no breakage. Looks like smokey Merlot really needs to mixed thoroughly at least twice before dipping any pots in it; if not, it comes out looking like a translucent brick red-brown. The pieces are still going up for sale because they're pretty in their own way. There's a few really good looking mugs and it seems that textured interiors on yarn bowls and bread baskets are getting a lot of attention.

Speaking of yarn bowl with textured insides - there's currently an order in the works for one - a birthday present to be sent to Texas.

Friday found me in Culpeper for a few errands and a delightful lunch with njzoomom. It was nice to take some time and chat - a little vacation from the hectic.

The weather has been really wonderful here for the last few days. Pretty much everything has turned green. The daffodils had a shortened visit due to the last cold snap, but the lilacs are blooming and smell so wonderful. It looks like most of the trees and grasses we planted last year are still alive.

The cover for the tent has been completed (it looks even better than I hoped) and I made the tent leg covers today while daecabhir sorted out the best way to tie the tent down. Turns out that making 2" bias tape is pretty easier (especially when compared to making 1/2") and I'm glad that ended up going with the manual bias tape tips.

We have two stools that I found on Craigslist that we'll be using at faire; I just need to make covers for them and we will probably cut the legs down a little to make them more comfy.

Things are coming together - even if it's quite crazy.
