Sweet Melissa



I'm having a DMB weekend and love this song. Also decided to get my hair cut and eat ice cream instead of making pots today in hopes of being refreshed and making better pots tomorrow.

sounds good right?

new list above my wheel

SLOW DOWN.


PEOPLE CAN WAIT FOR EXCELLENT POTS


2 great pots are better than 6 mediocre ones.


Lighter.

It's okay to say no. Sometimes it's even fun.


Remember to sleep.

Clean up your space. – CLEAN SPACE = HAPPY SPACE= BETTER WORK



I have felt so rushed since November. I was getting sloppy and heavy handed. Jake brought home some tacks for me (and chocolate- good man) so I could post this list above my wheel.

out of the kiln and straight to first street gallery

My meeting with the gallery was at 1... The kiln was still at 350 degrees at 12:50. So I didn't get much time with these pots.

laying down the glaze

Is probably my least favorite part. 3-5 layers of brushed on underglaze makes me a little loopy.

but the end result is worth it.

husbands birthday!

It's my husbands 30th birthday today.

No pots today just food.

I looked up how to make frosting, never realized how easy it is. I will never buy store bought frosting again. I got so excited with this new skill that I made 3 different kinds.


whipped peanut butter
cream cheese
and white russian buttercream. (i kept adding vodka and kaluha.. so it's a bit strong, but i'm sure jake will love it)

I'm excited to ice the cupcakes and put the cake toppers on :)
