A hectic week with a lot to show for it ^_^

Hi dear friends!

 

This has been a super stressful week, mainly because of my reg. 9-5 job...I get extra stressed when it takes my free time away from doing my pottery, but today is friday, and until monday morning, I rule my weekend ^_^

 

I have been making, glazing and firing many pieces this week, but let me show you all my goodies

 

Enjoy the photos

My new dessert dish line YUM! ^_^



This line will offer the possibilities of customizing the text and color! so cute!..coming very soon! *_^

This is the large batch of yarn bowls that were in queue from orders, they were glazed, high fired and shipped to their happy owners ^_^
 

A fabulous thing happens when I open the lid to a cooled kiln after a high fire!

All the great finished new pieces! so perfect *_^
 




All the orders get wrapped up and shipped..a happy process!, I love wrapping ! ^_^



 

I haven't knitted in a few months, but it always helps me find a little zen time to have a knitting project...so I worked on a chic and super easy triangle knitted scarf in a very chic bubblegum pink!

I am absolutely loving it!  My yarn bowl customers will receive a copy of this pattern with their purchase ^_^

 

Between all my work, house chores, pottery, knitting and family, I take the time to enjoy all the little things around me, I am so thankful for all I have, I am very blessed and God is to be thanked! ^_^




My sweet baby Chloe, the apple of my eye *_^

I am so looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend ^_^  I hope you have a beautiful weekend yourself!

HAPPY FRIDAY, DEAR FRIENDS *_^

Ooooh aren't you excited it is friday?, I am!, long weekend fun, here we come! ^_^

 

I started the weekend with an adorable quick to-do, which was to make my little snail pal Charlie a home.

 

Charlie is a little snail about 1/2 inch big, that I found lingering in a few fern plants I brought inside last week, as I was preparing my little owl planters for their shipment to their new homes

Etsy Shop Muddy Heart Pottery
 



 



So I went out to my backyard with a shovel in hand, Chloe (my baby yorkie...and the light of my life ^_^) in search for moss and fresh greens.... I rummaged through my herb planter and got basil, sage and parsley....some random little shade loving ground plants and while I was searching I found another snail!, so I named her Penny, and brought her in ....  So now Charlie has a lovely home and a new friend to keep him company. What started as a simple nature discovery turned into a cute new ecosystem in just minutes.... Charlie and Penny met, knocking their eyes, and went their separate ways, enjoying the yummy delights I placed for them: Egg shells, pieces of mushrooms, wild strawberries, basil, parsley, rosemary and sage ^_^

 

Maybe you've never thought much about snails, I mean who has?, but if you look closely, you'll be able to appreciate their delicate moves and find interesting new friends...creating your own terrarium and adding a snail or two will be a darling little labor day weekend project, don't you think?

 

I hope you enjoy the long weekend!

 

Toodles, Meli

 

 





Hello! ^_^

Hi there!, thanks for stopping by; I decided to create a blog for my pottery shop to share my work, my life and other goodies in between ^_^

Today I have felt in a x-mas mood, so I played some Bing Crosby while I worked on designing the adorable gift wrapping I will be using during the holidays to delight my customers ^_^

I am designing my own boxes of various sizes to accommodate my porcelain pieces..this one is holding a beautiful maple leaf tree ornament from my winter forest collection.

It is funny because I get sooo much enjoyment when I am ready to ship my orders out and get to wrap them up all cute!; my Mom says I have always loved to wrap gifts...and unwrap them! *_^

I think that the packaging and presentation is as important as the gift itself!...so I have been online spending oodles of time on google and pinterest for creative gift wrapping ideas...and I have so many ideas now I'm having a hard time picking just one!...

Well, it is 2am here in lovely NC, and I think I should go to bed before I start seeing double...*_^
