I have not made a post in such a long time that I felt like I was seeing an old friend when I opened this up! "oh... it's my blog...!" :) Since August though, a lot of things have occupied my time. 1) My husband and I spent 3 weeks between Japan and Thailand. It was an amazing trip! The two places could not be more different. Japan has to be one of my most favorite places though, even in spite of the food challenges. ;) 2) My dad came to stay and visit for about 10 days. I don't know how, but at 64 he was able to completely wear us out! 3) I discovered facebook and developed an immediate addiction. How am I three years late to this?? In spite of all of this, I still have new photos to post of recent works and more importantly, the new stamp I ordered from Japan. (I didn't have time to have one made while I was there.) I am using it as my new ceramics signature and it works wonderfully. I've never been thrilled about the artistic quality of my usual signature (block initials - SAS with a heart somwhere nearby) and last year i changed my name after i got married, so I was due for a change. What do you think? :)
