Take a look at these sultry numbers … farmhouse sinks …
I have a beautiful new lanai and grass in the backyard. The dogs love the grass, I love the lanai. I can see us living outdoors a lot more with this little shady retreat.

For Xmas my sweetie-pie got a new gas grill. This baby has lights, side burners, and smoker capability. He’s a real good BBQ-er and handles most of our dinner meats outside. (He got the grill from me.)
We have water to the fountain out there, so I think we need an outdoor sink. Looking at these beauties makes me want it all the more.
I have been doing my ceramics outside under the lanai. Just slab work, or course, I don’t have a wheel. The orange, lime and tangerine trees are in full bloom and the air is perfumed with citrus blossom. It’s heavenly working out there. I made a foot-tall pitcher for an assignment that blew up (dried unevenly), so now I need to replace that particular item. I look forward to doing it today. My first real project came out really nice. I made a small pitcher, used ‘velvet underglaze’ and dipped it in light cerulean blue. It turned out so pretty. I am keeping notes about what colors and glazes I use so I can remember. There are a lot of them to remember. If I get a really good or a really bad result I will know from my notes what I tried. Got a little journal just for ceramics.
