My VT hokie afghan & party photos

I took a photo of how the blanket is coming along. I blocked most of the pieces last night. Tonight I am blocking the center square (which is actually 4 small squares).


Tonight in ceramics I threw two substandard pots :( In my defense, I am recovering from the flu... but it still makes me depressed. .. it makes me feel like I've gone two steps back.. in comparison with the pot I threw two weeks ago. I guess I need to keep working at it! I will post a few pictures of my completed works next week. I glazed a couple cute things tonight... hopefully they will turn out OK after being run through the kiln..

I decided to post a few pictures from the party (to cheer me up). Here you are!
Here's a shot from under our carport. Hunter made a spooky spider web! My mom loaned me a freaky witch to hang on it. We strung spider eggs throughout it and hung little lit pumpkins on the web. It wasn't really what I had in mind, but I'm just glad that Hunter actually decorated something.

Here's a shot of Molly (a panther) and Ryan (David Bowie aka Ziggy Stardust)


The second is of Jason (Tiger Woods), Christyne (not yet in costume), Ziggy, and Me!


Zach (Carl from Aqua Teen), a KT bug, Ziggy, and I on my bed

Me (notice the pinkish hair? It took 2 1/2 hours at the stylist to achieve and most of it faded by Halloween :( ), Molly, and Kate (a character from Nighmare before Christmas)

I wish I took more pictures of the decor of our home.. We did some cute things in the kitchen.. and we made some great apertifs and spooky treats!

We made baba ganoush (eggplant hummus.. delicious!), lentil dip, and cupcakes with creepy frosted/candy designs on them. They were devoured before I could get a photo!!

That's all for now!

be patient with your pottery; it's a long learning curve, then becomes second nature.

and, yes, that lavender chair is the find of the decade. So lovely!
