we're ready...sort of

Every so often, my computer seems to want to operate at the speed of a slug. Today...yesterday...the day before...actually since returning from  TNNA show in DC.

This is not an excuse for posting on the blog...just an observation...and it's killing me.

This is the last week of firing anything with the hope of getting it washed and dried and aired out before heading on up to Eugene for the Black Sheep Gathering next weekend. So in a rare fit of productivity, I fired raku on two days back to back. Don't do that very often and I'm certainly glad I don't...talk about draining. Even more pathetic was me draggin' myself out of bed early each day to make it happen.

...and yes, there will be Skull Shawl Buttons at Black Sheep Gathering...and a new "species" of sheep brooches.

But we're ready for the trip North...sort of. The display bits are all in the crate which is currently in transit back from DC. Let's hope that the thing makes it back on time.
