2013 Oatman Bed Races: and a hot bowl of chowder!

Well howdy!
It's so cold here-cold snap freezing make everything snap kind of cold! Arizona gets a light winter but this 12 degree weather is ridiculous!
Time for a jumbo jean butt bowl of soup!

Want to warm up too? Get one of these coffee mugs/tea cups/soup bowls from me at the Oatman Bed Races Sunday January 20th! Kliklaklay will be out in front of the Oatman Nugget. See you there!

Wine time! Or Water time! Cyber Monday sale!

I love these carafes: you can put your wine or your water in them and then store them next to your bed on the stand or wherever you need some refreshment!

I just saw a carafe like these that I make in my new favorite 007 James Bond movie "SkyFall".

Have you seen it? It's so good!

Ok, enough about James Bond, Daniel Craig and being shaken, not stirred. Today is Cyber Monday-meaning I have a sale for you!

These carafes are $25.00 and available by ordering online or save the shipping and see me at the craft fair in Kingman on December 6-7!

The Cyber Monday sale is available today through Friday December 1st. Why? Because I'm not in a hurry and the death ofBlack Friday and birth of Grey Thursday has me mad.

Call or email me for your carafe order unless you would prefer a paypal link. $25 for Cyber Monday sale and $35 at the show-get your wine jugs now!

Jean Butt Bowls: for winter weather

The weather is cooling down here! It's time to get the soup cookin' and settle in for comforter covered toes on the couch with a big jean butt bowl of stew or soup!

These jean butt bowls are a favorite of mine: for using and giving as gifts. They are double glazed and fired making them food safe and dishwasher safe.

What to put in them:

Soup
Stew
Coffee
Tea
Cereal
Salsa
Wine
Candy on the end table
Your keys by the door!

At just $12.99 they are a perfect gift for a school teacher, hair dresser, neighbor, friend, family or alien!

Contact me if you would like to order set of 4 in your favorite color.

Wine time! Hand made decanters for showing off your varietals

Well-the weekend is here and wine o'clock is fast approaching. One of my favorite molds to pour and make is this cup and jug decanter set. Sure, you would put water or wine or whatever you want it in, mine just happens to have wine.

What would you put in yours?

Thank you everyone who came to the Golden Valley craft fair

Howdy!
Thanks to everyone who came out and helped raise money for the children's charity Christmas party today by buying a piece of ceramics from me.

See you at the next show!

Golden Valley Christmas for Kids Holiday sale Sat Oct 20

Thanks to all who came out to the Kingman craft fair at the senior center in town. 8.

Now get ready to come visit again in Golden Valley at the Christmas for Kids Holiday sale this Saturday October 20th, starting at 9 am at the corner of Verde and Hwy 68.

I'm bringing the 'DiY Santas' for you to take home to your kids and grandkids so they can paint these while you cook a Thanksgiving turkey!

See you there!
P.S. I will be bringing the "Free gift with $15 purchase tub" and it's stocked full of amazing goodies!

How many molds does it take to make a collection?

Dare I say-that I have a mold fixation? Collection? Something for the kids to inherit?
I have a plan and purpose for each and every mold I've got, how about you?
How many molds do you own?

What time is it buddha?

So what time is it buddha? This piece is ready to go to market-and I think it's funny how when I took the photo it looks a bit sun dial'ish?

So who is coming out to the senior center event next month? I've got great gift with purchases to share with you!

Merry'ween to you!

That's right, say hello to Santa. It used to be that the holiday retail season started after Thanksgiving dinner. Black Friday would mark the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Well not anymore! 

Welcome to your Merry'ween. The Christmas decorations and toys are out on the same aisle as the halloween stuff. I think it's a tad sacrilegious, don't you?

Tell me what you think and in the mean time I've got to get back out to the shop and start organizing and painting all these Santas.

Rain makes a river run through my tent

Hello from the cool and wet Hualapais! The festival is awesome-so much to see, to do, to eat and to buy!

We are still here and open-it's just a wee bit damp. Come see me!
