I love fall! ^_^

Happy friday dear friends!; last week I was having issues with blogger, I guess they resolved them since I am able to post today ^_^

 

I have so much to share!; first off, I was accepted to be part of the "Giving Market" taking place in Apex, NC on Nov. 3rd, this is on a darling downtown in a gorgeous historical Baptist church!; This will be my very first craft show, so I am equal parts of excited and nervous!, I have soooo much to do and very little time to get it all done

Downtown Apex, NC a lovely and quaint slice of history overflowing with great shops and restaurants!
 

I have been working on yarn bowl, jewelry dishes and new jewelry lines, they should all be done in about 2-3 weeks tops!, many of my orders are becoming personalized/monogrammed, so those will be as always, made to order, so as much as I am working hard now, the work doesn't stop, and I honestly do not want it to ^_^

 

 

Making porcelain daisies ^_^

I have a huge selection of jewelry pieces that I know will do great on the craft show and open house I'm having... These are gorgeous, delicate and unique



A Pile of beautiful earrings ^_^

 

Amongst all the work and dedication it takes to try to create my dream business, I make sure I sneak in personal pleasures, like knitting, baking, shopping (my exercise of choice *_^, and spending time outside with my hubby and baby doggy ^_^)

 

 

A few of my favorite things ^_^

 

Gorgeous baby roses from the fresh market, a weekly delight for me and my home ^_^

My addictive homemade oatmeal-raisin-coconut cookies, to DIE for!



The fuel of my life, starbucks Frappuccino! ^_^

Fall fabulousness!

My pumpkin haul!, I will be going back for more next week...I have a total weakness for pumpkins!

I hope you are enjoying life and have wonderful plans for the weekend!

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!
