Summer has started!

Noah's summer break has started and so far every day has been awesome. The memorial weekend was nice and relaxing. Lots of napping and the best part is: the kids have been sleeping "in". No more 6:37 wake up cries! No, they woke up at 8 and 8:30 for the last 3 days. That is groundbreaking folks. My life is about to change because of it. My whole attitude towards life changes because of sleep. My happiness, my brain chemistry, my energy. EVERYTHING.
Ok, I know this can all change tomorrow. But the glimmer of hope is awesome. Just 3 days brings me closer to normalty. Ok, that's not a word. You get the idea.
Today, I was able to go work at the studio. I glazed a bunch of pieces, so I should have new and exciting things to show. I hope.
Now it's time to bring the kids to bed. Then eat a bowl of icecream. Maybe post some more on etsy and figure out how to make this thing work for me. Oh, and watch the end of the "fabulous" Bachelorette. I know, really bad. But goes good with ice cream.
Have some more pictures, but more later!

Hello Nobody!

maybe instead of complaining i should email all of my friends and let them know that i write a blog. Hm. Well, then that would mean, people would actually read it. As meaningless as it may be. this blog. i guess, i don't need to let them know. yet.

Here is a little project that's been on my list - you guessed it - forever: A canopy for a stroller that was lost during airline travel. I finally made a new one and it's appropriately girly!


Yum, I'm eating Nutella Banana Crepe. Lush!

And here is my new pride and joy: my tree vases.
I love the imprint of the dogwood tree. Smaller scale for smaller vases. Looks almost leopard like. Well, I'm happy about them.


I had a very productive session at the studio last night. Made a ton of mugs and new lidded containers that I love and I'm practicing 2-piece objects (merging 2 pieces into one, so i can gain more height & size). I don't know where this is going yet, as with everything i do, but i'm enjoying myself. that's all one can hope for.
I also bought a new glaze book and I finally want to mix my own glazes. coming up with a color scheme and everything. Lots of ideas in my head, but limited time to do it all.
That's ok, that's alright, stay in there and fight, fight, fight (our family's little cheer).

Happy Mother's Day

as i'm winding down after this very nice weekend, that was packed full with excitement and fun, i cannot wait to go to bed. i've made a promise to myself to go to bed at 10 every day, otherwise, i am just to exhausted and miserable. so....
so much was going on that i don't even know where to start, maybe i'll just upload some pictures, i don't really have much energy left... enjoy!



we went to a baseball game with the kids; their first. it was fun, we were eating like pigs and enjoyed the beautiful weather. now, they can successfully do the tomahawk! go braves (i don't even know who won; that's to show you how little i care about baseball)


then, there was some fun to be had at sofia's bday party and finally, some fun at ikea:

to sum it up: i am very thankful to be the mother of these awesome kids, as exhausting as it is:
we have a great little family!
