Kept in the sounds, wobbles, dancing and all for you - just keepin' it real. Sometimes this is how we do when it's that fussy hour of the day but I just need to get a little something finished... I've been getting a wonderful steady stream of orders and commissions (THANK YOU! Keep em coming!). This is how the work in progress looks. Xox

The most joy I’ve been having recently in pottery has been making these delightful two-handled mugs for littles!! They’re so fun — and hats off to a friend of mine who, years ago, planted the idea in my mind about little surprises to be found at the bottom.

The mugs you see here have: cherries for a sweet little girl who used to inhale halved cherries (part of a family berries-inspired set), an octopus for my little one, because why not? And two Hot Wheels-inspired mugs for two fiery little boys.

I hope you enjoy this sweet montage of tiny hands modelling how to use and play with the cups. Some may ask, “How could we possibly give handmade pottery to children???” To that I say — pottery might surprise you in its durability. And if it breaks, so what? It’s worth it to see the joy and surprise when it’s being used, and it can always be remade. Life is for enjoying. 🙂

I hope you also enjoy the cameo by my favourite chicken, Olive, who brings me immense wonderment and sparkling delight.

Do you remember when I posted little teasers of my most recent embroidery project? Most of you said "lion" when I shared the first picture, and then guessed correctly (owl) on the second picture!

I'm excited to share the final looks. I was working on a little gift: shirts for the two sweet daughters of a beloved friend and family member.

I just loved designing, drawing, and embroidering this project, in the quiet sweet moments when my own little one napped.

If you look closely, you'll also see a tiny bit of sparkle! I also included a bit of beadwork with very special beads that were purchased for my wedding dress (designed and made by the most talented ).

Schedule for my last two markets before maternity leave 🥰.

After that, I'll work one week on commissions and glazing student pieces (fingers crossed temps stay above freezing juuuust a bit longer before I have to migrate my clay out of the barn) and then I'm closing up pottery shop for the most part. I might do a bit of hand building inside my home over the winter, but I expect that if I do have time for art with a newborn (who knows!), I might shift to painting only until the temps warm up again. Excited to move with the seasons as weather and body shift.
