I need to make a whole post about the excellent princess party we had last weekend, with special mention of the fantastic strawberry frosting I made, but I am still resting up from all that PINK.
Today I received my first ever ugly-beautiful glazed coil pot at my son's kindergarten mother's day "tea" (I put it in quotes because my daughter is incensed that we call it "tea" without actually serving actual tea. She now refers to her tea as "the fake tea party we're having at my school for mother's day."), & even though yesterday I was rolling my eyes to my husband about it, oh good, here we go, today I could not love it more.
I especially love the tiny white bowl he made for me.
As for work in progress, I am finally coming to grips with the fact that I've got a show next weekend (Baz Biz at Maker Faire!), & so I've got quite a bit going on,
like a zillion bracelets to sew together.
Oh, also, I finally decided to start up an etsy shop. The idea (at the moment) is that it will be a place to put things that don't quite belong on my official website, plus I am increasingly impressed with the quality of work I'm finding on etsy, so I wanted to join in the fun! It's pretty bare right now, but I did list a few crowns
& some bobby pin sets.
I am grateful that spring is here for many reasons, not least of which is that I can finally get some decent picture of my glitter again.
I think we should have some sort of photoblog where we show pictures of how we all use those clay vessels that we get from our kids. I've tried the shallow ones as soap dishes, elastic hairband holders, etc... still searching for the right way to "enjoy" them. They are sweet though. Little hands' work.
