Super fun day firing some pots in a couple barrels with a bunch of friends, the results were underwhelming but, we learned some things and had a great time!

Here we are at the end of the year, and what a year it's been! In ALL the ways one of the worst years of my life and also one of the best, I've had more prayers answered this year than ever before, maybe because I whispered a few more than normal, and am feeling especially grateful to be here for 2025! Thanks for hanging with me as always, good things are on the horizon!

Well I've put off this post for the whole month, because I don't want to talk about , however it's been the overarching reality of my life the past 5 months and it's awareness month so here we are. In late April early May, I had a routine mammogram that found a tiny little cancer, after lots of tests and surgery I had a summers worth of Chemo, then radiation this fall. And now I'm in recovery mode, boosted by clean scans and lots of prayer. While not 100%, I'm enjoying doing "all the things" again, teaching classes and preparing for Christmas my one and only show this season. (The little clay ribbon bird ornaments above will be glaze white and strung with pink velvet ribbon 🩷) Life is different after cancer, early detection can save your life. Don't put off your mammogram!

Hey Friends! I so wish this was a post to share about my upcoming show schedule 😂 Unfortunately the pathology after my surgery showed that the tumor, while tiny, 1.2cm, was an aggressive little thing and had already started to spread. The Docs are confident that all the cancer was found and removed, but to eliminate any of those pesky cells roaming around I'm going to start Chemotherapy treatments in a couple weeks, followed by a course or Radiation treatments this fall. Not the news we wanted, but we're gonna play the hand we've been dealt.
At 48 years old, I never dreamed that this would be what I'd be facing. Today Paul and I are celebrating our 26th anniversary, he keeps reminding me this is a speed bump, never have I been more thankful to know he's mine. 🙏
Don't put off your mammogram, 1in 4 women will have breast cancer, early detection could save your life. 🩷

Hey friends! Firstly, I have to say thank you SO much for the prayers, comments, texts, calls, food, visits, flowers, (let's just say it's a good thing I'm a vase maker because wow the flowers), and well wishes since I shared my diagnosis last Tuesday. The surgery went well on Wednesday, and while we are still waiting for pathology, I am home, doing a lot of resting and feeling better everyday. I, (and my family) have been totally overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support we've received. We've been shocked to hear how many lives that we know personally have been affected by breast cancer, how many friends have been through or are going through this scary diagnosis. I can only pray that each of those women have felt as loved as I have this week. ❤️‍🩹

Four weeks ago today I went for a routine mammogram, tomorrow I'm having surgery to remove cancer. It's been the most overwhelming and surreal experience I can remember apart from giving birth. I've debated about sharing this info on social media, I don't like to be the center of attention, and the truth is I'm very fortunate, I have a good prognosis and an amazing supportive family.
However, my whole life I've taken good health for granted, I've had all the screenings done, not because I've ever thought I needed to, I have a sterling family history. Now I know better, 80-85% of breast cancer patients have zero family history, just like me. Don't skip your mammogram.
