Last week, local Colorado painter, Stacey Peterson tagged me with the “7 Unusual Things About Me” meme and since I’ve already done this at least twice, I’m twisting the rules just a tad.
- Put a link in your posting to the person who tagged you.
- List 7 things for which I’m thankful.
So here’s a list of people, things and events for which I’m thankful:
- I am grateful for my husband, daughter, mom, in-laws and extended family who I love very much and who support me unconditionally (most of the time).
- My friends in both real life and virtually – our connections mean so much to me.
- My current life situation that has allowed me to explore motherhood, clay and art without having to work full time at another job.
- My teachers past and present – it is truly a gift and calling to pass on knowledge.
- My dogs Zuzu and Danzig who give me so much joy, amusement, occasional irritation and who greet me with great enthusiasm whether I’ve been gone for 1 minute or 1 week.
- Opportunities and the freedom to do whatever I want – it really does feel like the possibilities are endless.
- Having a roof over my head, food on my plate, clay on my wheel.
I know these seem really general, but when it comes down to it these represent the core of why I’m thanking my lucky stars this holiday.
- I am supposed to tag 7 other bloggers at the end of my post and to let them know – but I’m not. If you feel inclined, feel free to add 7 Things You’re Thankful For on your bloggie.
For my US compatriots - Happy Thanksgiving! For my international visitors, I am sending you Thanksgiving wishes in the spirit of our national holiday.

I love this holiday as we get to spend it as we prefer. I know it must seem weird, but with all the birthdays and stuff going on this month, I’m just happy to have time to spend with my sweetie and no outside stuff. I’ve got my Xmas shopping done so I’m not out in the stores tomorrow either. That feels really good to me. I’ll start on the Xmas letter printing perhaps and that is about it. Just a day for being thankful. I love it.
Oh, those mugs — I think I’m in love!
Dead keyboard, here, so, Hi, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Love the new mugs, Cynthia! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
I always get excited when I come here! There always seems to be something new to see! I love the new mugs!
I’m so thankful that I have “met” you and other potters and artists online, who are willing to share their knowledge with me! Thank you!
You said it beautifully Cynthia. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Thanks everyone the feeling is mutual!
Mugs look great. HOpe your Thanksgiving was awesome. So much to be grateful for. Thanks Cynthia!
I think I like the green leafy like pattern one the best. But they all are wonderful.
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Movers are coming first thing Monday! Eeek!
Love your new colors and textures on your new mugs, happy thanksgiving.

Sorry I stumbled upon your blog so late, but seeing your not above belated wishes: Happy Belated Thanksgiving. Your cups are beautiful and I’m very thankful for the DIY light box. I’ve been taken my pots “on location” for a simulated aegean look – yeah right! Obviously not much chance of that in WA in the next half year – if ever:(
