Beautiful Day to Vote!

Well, Mom, Chuck and I went out at 8:00 a.m. this morning, Sunday,(actually it is after midnight so it is already Monday) to the County Courthouse and cast our vote! So think of it, Sunday morning, early voting, 8:00a.m. and we still waited in line. I understand that earlier (7:15 a.m) the line was wrapped around the courthouse! Amazing.

Later in the morning, churches bussed their parishioners in and we saw the huge lines on t.v. It is pretty wild, I must say.

It has been a beautiful weekend after a very rainy Friday. I am anxious to get back in the studio in the morning. I have several pieces that I am working on for the "Art of Giving" holiday show at LeMoyne. I also need to work on some paintings for an exhibit in January.

We watched the series last night and tonight. The Rays lost tonight - or at least I think they did. . . I stopped watching at 10-2 Phillies. I did stay up until 2:00a.m. this morning to watch yesterday's game. Rays lost that one. I hope we have a few more games. Phillies have taken a 3 to 1 lead now.

Don't forget to vote everyone!

Til later,

Terrie

Fall is Here!

high fire enamels and sgraffito


Wow, it is chilly today (well 60 degrees, anyway)! I can't believe Fall is finally here. It is suppose to be really cold next week. It just started raining a while ago. I was going to apply some mica lusters to some pieces but the humidity may interfere.

The "Art and Soul" event at the University Center Club was a successful event. I am glad to report that there was some competitive bidding on my piece during the live auction. I was glad about that. The ballroom looked wonderful. The meal was good and everyone enjoyed the artwork - there was a lot of participation in both the live and silent auctions.


It has been a while since I have posted. I have been working hard in the studio and I don't see that changing for a while! I would like to take a workshop that will be conducted by Steve Klein and Robert Parrish. Whether or not I will be able to get there is another issue! We'll see!

Til later,
