widgets



Let’s talk widgets. Our old pal cm is coming over some day soon to pick up some flower pots she ordered, and I have pictured them here before. I was reminded, though, by a gardening friend named Connie (all these C names!) of those little widgets that go into any plant pot. You know, a little dog or frog on a spike, put it into your English ivy? Here is a pic of one, next to a real flower pot, and maybe I will give cm one or two with her order. I usually make all this stuff in the spring, but indoor plants are year round.
As for handles, what if you have a highly textured cup and wanna try a highly textured handle on that cup? Usual is on the left, with subtle lines, experiment on the right, a sort of zig-zag corduroy that should get crazy under the right glaze.

The people in this house know how to have fun. Old Denis is surely jealous that he won't be here too...

i'm green, er, purple, er, it is indigo, with jealousy. because of this blog, i don't know my colors anymore. yikes! anyway, i suck at scrabble (gary will attest to that). i played boggle 10 days ago for the first time and while i couldn't win against tanya (no one could) i had a lot of fun. i guess i'm just lousy with words. but i'll play anytime, anyway... esp. with gary and maude. anyway, enjoy and let me know who was crowned scrabble champion.
