2013-11-09 - Saturday - Crazy

Saturday I took part in the inaugural Indian Trail Cultural Arts Center Fall Pottery Sale.  It was a beautiful day and warm enough for just a t-shirt while the sun was shining.  The sale was pleasant, with a steady stream of people coming through.  There are plans to make it a regular Spring/Fall event sponsored by the township so it will probably get bigger in the future.  I'm going to stay with it.

After the sale I packed up my booth, ran home, changed clothes, and zipped over to the Clayworks fundraiser at the Elder Gallery.  I was worried as I handed the key to the valet since my whole show was packed up to the top of the headrests.  I told him to be careful since things might shift and crossed my fingers.

An Evening of Earth & Fire was very well attended and we went above our goal.  It was an evening of old and new friends, good food, and great art.  Larry Elder was very gracious to let us take over his wonderful space for the evening.  If you missed it, there's always next year.





It was a beautiful day.

I really liked this tree across the street.

Then it was on to the Elder Gallery...

Gary was surprised with a birthday cake during his address.

He made short work of the candle.

We decided the cake knife looked like
someone used it to murder a clown.

Friday - Happy Day

June also saw another celebration of my surviving another year.  As usual, Stephanie baked (and decorated) a cake for me.  It was a quiet family party with just the four of us.

A well-decorated cake.

2010-12-06 Monday - Stephanie's Birthday Cake

Stephanie asked me for a hamburger birthday cake so off to Google I went to look up ways to do it.  I baked two cakes, one yellow and one devil's food.  I coated the "hamburger patty" with vanilla icing mixed with cocoa powder, then stuck chopped chocolate chips to the icing.  I colored the icing for the "lettuce", the "bun", and the "sesame seeds" and proceeded to assemble it.  I found that I should have put the bun icing on the bottom layer before stacking the patty on it.  Live and learn.  It tastes better than it looks.


"...on a sesame seed bun."


Stephanie liked it.
