Thanks guys. Dan's been bugging me with those spoons for awhile so the time had come to make my man happy.
NOTICE: MY COMPUTER HAS BEEN FREEZING UP FOR MONTHS SO THE PROBLEM GOING TO BE FIXED WHILE WE ARE AT THE SALE. WINDOWS XP IS NOT WORKING ANY LONGER. I'M TAKING IN TODAY AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL GET IT BACK. HOPEFULLY I'LL BE BACK ON HERE SOMETIME NEXT WEEK. I'LL MISS YOU ALL.
Progress Report:
I had a banner made for my table at the Don the Beachcomber's sale. It's the one on top. Then I used the prototype photo to make business cards. I only put my Tiki Central information on them because I like to just make art for those who visit my threads. I printed these and cut them in half. It's fun they'll match my banner.
The kiln opened and it was a successful firing without problems.
Top Shelf.
Bottom shelf.
These will have cords added and will be available at Don the Beachcomber's this weekend.
Kahaka's Grandpa mug for his wife for Christmas. Green eyes.
The Coconut Bowl for Dan.
Santa Bob for Loki Tiki. The kiln props worked!
Until we meet again dear friends, Wendy

Hooray!
Success as always! Hopefully it's fixed sooner than later. We'll miss you.
I love the colors, as always. And I think that's the first "normal" Bob I've seen you do, despite the cat on the head. I dig it. And the Santa looks awesome.
Good luck at the sale!

I hope your computer is fixed quickly! I don't know what anyone here will do without your updates. I am so loving the Santa Bob. Have fun at the sale.

Wendy, I agree w/ swizzle (& everyone else), Santa Bob is amazing. Curious (can I ask this?) what red glaze is that? I love it. Can't wait to see your pieces in person on Sunday.

Hello Dear Friends, I need to have a broken computer and travel more often if it means getting so many posts to read. These were like Christmas presents to open. I loved each one, thank you.
We left a day early to beat the huge storm due to hit our area. We made it to Long Beach with only 10 minutes of driving in the rain. Now it raining here non-stop. Today we will find an indoor place to play. Tomorrow we visit HB Tiki and then go to a party at Soccer Tiki and WooHoo Wahini's home. We love to visit with tiki buddies. Sunday is the sale and we get to see so many friends that my face will break from smiling so much.
I'm so happy you like the wishes that I have fulfilled for Loki Tiki and Kahaka. I have not finished Wish List #3 so there will be more coming up.
Thank you all for writing it means so much to me, hugs, Wendy
PS Tiki Ano it is my favorite Duncan glaze called Red Neon Sprinkles

Finally a post from Wendy. I had been saddened and bereft. Now I am gladdened and . . . unbereft. Everything looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Wendy, great meeting you and Dan today- thanks for talking for a bit and for all of the advice and information- as well as for the Bob and the Moai! I have to do a bit of rearranging, but I've found a (temporary) spot for the Bob on the shelf- right next to pieces by Johnnie Velour, Van Tiki, Tiki Tony, & Munktiki. Here's a peek at (initial) placement:

It's been days, wandering in a Cevola-less desert . . . saddened again. Bereft . . . again.

Tiki Ano it was wonderful meeting you and having a good visit. Thank you so much for the photo.
Professor G and hang10tiki you flatter me so much I'm blushing.
Hello everyone, we are home from out trip. Dan's a dear doing laundry and grocery shopping while I'm working on the new computer trying to learn what I can. Today I was able to have Comcast set up the wireless connection and add in our email addresses. This is the first time Dan's had his own! Of course he's only sent 3 emails and 2 text messages. I've only sent one text message. We both have a lot to learn.
I don't yet know how to add in my photos. I'm going to work on that today. I need to hook up my printer too. As soon as I get these done I'll post photos of the trip. Meanwhile there are photos on the events page for the Don The Beachcomber's sale. We had a lot of fun.
I say goodbye now while I try to learn this new system, Windows 8. I can say that it sure does show a lot of "tiles" you can click on but the simple things like emails are tough.
I'll be back soon, Wendy
