I drove down to meet some friends for lunch and it wound up being Grownup Slumber Party Wednesday. I HIGHLY recommend playing hooky from adulthood and doing that every now and then. But! What did I miss in your lives for 48 hours? Tell me something that made you smile!

Recently I made some house numbers for some of my Patreon Patrons... definitely a thing I want to play with, refine, and start taking custom orders for because my gosh, THE CUTENESS. I can do so much with this idea! #ceramics #pottery #handbuiltceramics #FairyCore

Psst! Hey! You! Do you know what you are? You are this sunrise. You are showing up every day shining your beautiful light and you are an absolute *miracle*. Just look at how gorgeous and steadfast you are, putting out light and energy and making everything around you glow. #sunrise #YouAreEnough

1. for years four mornings a week, I stream an SF show with two friends. Right now we're on Star Trek TOS. 2. I need to have a name to put on the paperwork to get a feral kitty fixed. This weekend, it came to me.... MISTER HARRY MUDDSTACHE. Thank you I'll be here all week #DadJokes #catsofspoutible

OK, I guess I'm not *too* mad now that the dogs made me go outside with them even though I was super busy with work. #rainbow #Pause #TakeAMoment #GoOutside #GoOutsideAndLookUp

In March, a stray dog showed up in my yard. I tried for weeks to find her owners, but meanwhile, my puppy adopted her. Gosh I hope she relaxes soon and starts fitting in, she just seems so uncomfortable. (that's sarcasm, they've been BFFs since the first butt sniff) #dogs #DogsOfSpoutible

Today? Kiln loaded; more greenware on the table. Also, studio cats. Can't forget the cats (they won't let me)! That's me... how about you? What are you up to today? #ceramics #pottery #catsofspoutible #shopcat #StudioCat

It's been a busy, somewhat overwhelming week. So this seems like a good opportunity to tell anyone that needs to hear it (including myself)... today can be anything. You can be anything. And everything you are is perfect, and enough. #sunrise #YouGotThis #YouAreSeen #youaregood #YouAreEnough

Just vacuumed three rooms, emptied the vacuum five times. Honey Butter is sad, she made me most of that fur herself. Why would I want to get rid of it?! #dogs #DogsOfSpoutible #gsd #germanshedder

2 Threaded Spouts
CW: grief/widowhood
Not an overly productive day in the studio today (grief is weird. I'm fine for days, and then wake up one day not even thinking about him but by lunch I'm like, "what is this crushing weight on my spirit?!" Now it's 7:30 and I'm wondering how early is too early to go to bed. #

Today I am going to become a fully functional adult who cheerfully accomplishes everything on her to-do list and is not at all cranky and overtired by the end of the day. Yep. Just as soon as my Supervisors let me.

Note to self: next time you trap a couple of pregnant stray cats, try to get some in different colors. Also - be meaner to them so they'll want to leave after you've given them 8-10 weeks of indoor maternity care, and gotten them spayed. #catsofspoutible #KittensofSpoutible #blackcatsofspoutible

I might be a little obsessed with making these berry baskets. I might have to make some in every single texture I have. I might have to get new textures so I can make more berry baskets. Uh, I mean, I can stop, any time! #ceramics #pottery #MakersGonnaMake

This week on the handbuilding table, berry baskets. I'm a little obsessed. #ceramics #pottery #MakersGonnaMake

I fired my kiln... eleven? twelve times this month? Here are three of my favorite firings; a bisque and two glaze firings. Any other #makers /#artists out there? I'd love to see what you're working on. #ceramics #pottery #SpoutibleMakes

Not even 8 am and it's already a gazillion degrees. Today can be anything (but probably hot). Stay hydrated, my friends! And happy.... Thursday? What is today? I've been self-employed for 13 years and by FAR the hardest part is knowing what day of the week it is!

Sometimes I just let myself play in the #ceramicstudio just to see what I come up with. Huh. House number mushroom fairy door plaques? I dig 'em!

I should already be in the ceramic studio this morning, I have a ton of work to do handbuilding and unloading the kiln from yesterday's firing. But sure, this is fine, too...

I trapped a feral #Cat last Wednesday who looked very fat. I was a little worried I was fat-shaming her but... Who wants to see a picture of the two #kittens she had on Sunday? Almost a week old now and cute as buttons. Tiny, rat-like buttons with no personality other than screaming if she gets up.

Current #pottery obsession - #slabrolled and #handbuilt butter dishes. When the #ceramics you can make are only limited by your imagination, and your imagination is limitless...? Every day is a good day to be a work-at-home artist/maker.

This #dog y'all. She ain't never gonna win no rocket science awards but she sure does make my heart happy. Tell everybody good morning, Peppa Potato!

It's never too early in the year to think about some #Halloween #ceramics .... Ooo can I make a joke about SLAB-rolled #pottery ?!?! THANK YOU I'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK please tip yer wait staff.

The last week (ok, the last 18 months, let's not lie) have been bananas but I did manage to get a few minutes here and there in the #pottery studio, and #handbuilt some little #ceramic trinket dishes. Now, if only I was done switching out the elements in my kiln and could fire them...!

There's room for two under my pergola if you're up for #Coffee or #conversation or sitting in silence and appreciating the #sunrise

Not sure about this new #WFH lap desk. Pros? Warm. Snuggly. Adorable. Cons? Very squirmy. Laptop unstable. Also distracting, keeps wanting head scritches. Oh well, will suffer through it. Work at home, kids! Live the dream!
