On the Horizon:
First weekend in October I will be attending a workshop at Mudfire in Atlanta. Annette Gates makes beautiful hand-built porcelain!
My Speech and Debate team will be attending their first tournament the second weekend of October. We were scheduled to compete at a couple of tournaments in September, but Ike pretty much unscheduled for us. My new students are so cute! When they don't tick me off... I was fortunate enough to inherit a number of talented, hard-working performers. In the past few weeks, several very promising newbies have also emerged. Mainly, I am just impressed by the work ethic and great attitudes of the team members. I am really blessed to be in a position to work with these great people!
Enough gushing, already! Well, I'm really enjoying my new school district as well as the students, so I'm afraid there's nothing to be snarky about.
On a down-note, I did not have very good sales at the Yale Street Art Market in September. Apparently it wasn't just me having a bad night, so maybe it was something to do with it being a night-show or just a bad alignment of the stars. Who knows? I thought Mitch did a great job running the market and promoting it. I definitely need to work on my displays for the pottery, but my new scarf display rack worked very well. In the meantime, I'm a little depressed about the pot-making so I'm going on a potting-holiday for a few weeks.
I suppose you can't keep a Craft Queen down too long though, because in the absence of pots I've started sewing a bit. I made my step-mother a very nice throw pillow last night after running across a printed fabric I knew she would love. I'm going to try my hand with some applique this afternoon after I finish putting my grades in.
