A small Glitch



The platter, which you, my dear bloggers helped me paint, went into the kiln yesterday morning. All looked good until we had a 6 hour power failure. My kiln reached 468 degrees. It needs to fire to 1823 degrees Fahrenheit. So back into the kiln. Keeping fingers crossed.


In the meantime, strawberries are in from California. Cooked up 2 batches of strawberry preserves before the power failure.


Labels affixed, ready for the Farmers Market.



These images represent only a few of a group of tiles I painted recently for a kitchen in Kentucky. Do you recognize the "Strawberry Thief " tile? I used the image for my strawberry Jam label.


And, my fancy new computer has arrived. A young college student came by and hooked it up without a hitch. Now I have to relearn everything.


This morning, our dishwasher door sprung a spring. Just a few little glitches. Nothing serious.


Wishing you all a day without glitches (sp?)

  2. Hi Georgianna, It all turned out. Must have been because you had your fingers crossed.
