Holiday Road

Until I searched on iTunes, I had no clue Lindsay Buckingham wrote this song.

We're just about done with our holiday road trip. I can't believe how fun it was. The whole trip will be a little over 2400 miles when it's all said and done. Austin to Orlando and back! I had looked at flights home for the rest of the family thinking it was going to be a disaster but our kids were fantastic. They even pushed us to go all the way to Orlando from Houston on day 2 of the trip...16 hours! We had planned a stop in either Pensacola or Tallahassee but they weren't having any of that...no stopping until Orlando!

Details of the trip to follow....hopefully. I also have a year end blog post in my head...I hope it makes it to the interwebs soon...it will probably have to turn into a beginning of the year blog post since I'm getting ready to prep our seafood feast for tonight.

We're driving the final leg of the trip tomorrow. It's been a great trip but it will be good to be home.

I'm very excited to be working in a city with such wonderful people.

I hope we'll see you then. Info and directions here. I'm psyched about the new decal work. I'll get some good pics of my decal work up soon. But...for now, I have to get back to setting up.

I'll try to get some blogging in tomorrow during the show.

Save the Date 12/13/2009

We're going to be hosting a fantastic Holiday Open House this year at our new home in Austin, TX. I hope you all will be able to join us on Sunday, December 13th.

Once again, thanks to all of my fellow Austin potters for joining us for the show. It should be fun and we're in a great central location so hope to see you soon!

This is a rough layout of the card...I'm just waiting for a couple of Hi-Res photos from some fellow potters before it goes to print.

Back Home

We're back in Austin after having a great week in NY and I'll post about it soon...plus I think I owe a follow-up post on E.A.S.T.

Today I'm getting settled back in and reclaiming my studio from it's tour set up as a gallery space. What I have left over from E.A.S.T. will be over at our house for a Holiday Open House that we're doing on Sunday 12/13. I'll announce the details soon and get some images up about it.

For now, I just want to thank my fellow Austin potters who have all been incredibly welcoming. Ryan McKerley came up with the idea of a group open house as a way of letting people know that I'm new in town making pots. Ryan is one of the founders of Art of The Pot and he's called in reinforcements with some of his Art of The Pot co-founders. So, I hope you'll save that Sunday to come by our house and check out all of the work. So far we have a great lineup including, Ryan, Lisa Orr, Michael Merritt, Chris Campbell and Claudia Reese. I'm printing up a card today so let me know your address if you'd like one. keith (at) kreegerpottery (dot)com. (sorry...trying to avoid spam by not writing out my full email address)

Thanks Katie & Brandon!

Last night our good friends Katie & Brandon dropped off a cake for the kids...obviously no cookie Cutter cake as it was one of a kind...well...maybe two of a kind. They may have used another half of a cake for themselves.

Regardless....Thanks Guys! It was a big hit with the kids...and the adults as well!

Next year you're going to have to find a way to ship or hand-deliver it as we're starting to get used to this.

Honk Honk!

We're all set up and ready for the Holiday Stroll.  

I'll also be opening the gallery tomorrow and next Saturday as well.  As always, I'll be open by appointment and since I'm making pots this week in the studio there's a good chance that the front door will be open if you stop by.  If you don't want to risk it, give me a call or email me and make sure I'm around or.....you can always shop online...
