The Pottery Results are In! or What I Made on My Mental Vacation

Ten weeks, three hours a week (some weeks more) and fourteen pieces to show for it!

In the end glazing turned out to be the most difficult thing. Most of the mugs are decorative rather than food-safe because of spots inside where the glaze didn't cover. But I am thrilled with the results.

It is amazing to be able to start with this

and turn it into this

and wind up with this!

Tea tastes better in a mug I made myself. Cheers!

In over my head.

Back in my early 30s, if you told me what I'd be doing today, I would have said you were crazy.

Back then, I was stuck in a dead-end job, contemplating life as the crazy lady with cats. Now I'm married to my very best friend, I have a day job I like, I work from home, run my own business on the side, I teach, and I get paid to fool around on the internet. (Oh and I still have the cats!)

I'm juggling more than I ever thought I'd handle. I'm often in over my head and I'm loving it!

When my husband taught me to scuba dive, I found out that some of the coolest things to see are in the first 30 feet of water, where you can still see the light above, but you're deep enough to be completely immersed in another world.

This blog is a love letter to my life. Who knew being in over my head could be so much fun?
