I'm at a stage with pottery where I'm mostly happy

I'm at a stage with pottery where I'm mostly happy with the stuff that comes out of the kiln but every once in a while I'm thrilled so those I like to share.

So happy with how this little trio of potion pots came out!

Finally got around to posting about the @byhandlondon #bhlannadress that I made a few years ago. The post reflects on how far my sewing has come and how much better I've gotten at fitting since making it. I can now see all the ways I would fix it, but it's still a dress that I quite like. Also I miss my purple hair.

I started this top during a workshop with @lladybi

I started this top during a workshop with @lladybird back before the pandemic but didn't actually finish the last little bit until a couple months ago. Full details in the blog post, but tl;dr is I let fear of messing it up hold me back. Thanks to @sewwithsonia for getting me out of the rut! Now I have a new favorite shirt 😀

- Pattern is the @grainlinestudio #ArcherButtonUp without sleeves
- Fabric and buttons from @stonemountainfabric
- Styled with my favorite (and first pair of many) earrings from @plcpeggy

Sharing this quilt from #gracecircle that I recently posted on my blog. This was started at the beginning of the pandemic and I selected a thematic Welcome Home block pattern from @rjrfabrics to represent "stay at home." I love how it came out with the bright pops of color on the black. Quilting done by @luckypennyquilting

This might be new favorite mug. But I'll probably say that again in a couple weeks. 😁 Mug and macs made by me.

These yummies are the healthy pumpkin chocolate do

These yummies are the healthy pumpkin chocolate donuts from the @thechiclife. You can't really taste the pumpkin as they just taste like chocolate, but the pumpkin makes them moist and delicious without any added fat like oil or butter except a very thin coating on the pan. Quite tasty. Must not eat them all tonight....

Also showing off this cake plate that I made. 😁

Meant to post this a while ago -- a quilt I made for my cousin's new son. It also happens to be the third @hellostitchstudio mystery quilt led by @quiltingfool. I intentionally picked bright fun colors and had @luckypennyquilting quilt it with a cute barn themed design with lots of little animals. Perfect baby quilt!

Finally got pictures of my very first knitted swea

Finally got pictures of my very first knitted sweater! I started this during a virtual knitalong with @onepetal of @uncommonthreadsyarn early on in the pandemic (so some time summer of last year) and then finished it up around December. Still working on the sweater I started during the winter knitalong earlier this year 🤪 but hopefully will finish soon.

Pattern is Summer by @ankestrick and the yarn is yummy soft cotton Sami by @amanoyarns purchased at @uncommonthreadsyarn. More deets on the blog.

The new Flawesome Cut Out Top and Dress was just released by @patternemporium_kate today! I got to be a pattern tester for this fun knit top and you can check out more pics on my blog post today. There are a bunch of options for the top so for those that are curious, I did the long top with 3/4 sleeve and binding on the edges. Fabric is some lovely smooth ponte I got from @stonemountainfabric that sewed up beautifully.

Another edited @gbacg Mucha picnic photo but also wanted to show the super yummy treats I got from @celticteashoppe. The fairy scones and pumpkin pasty were my favorite and I can't wait to order from them again. 🤤

Costume, flower crown and photos by me (& my tripod).

Had a chance to pop into @needlesstudio today and this place is great! The studio had an airy feel and yet it's stocked with everything a sewist could need. The fabric selection is 💯 like seriously all the good stuff 🤤 They've got a nice sewing area so also gonna check out the classes. So excited they're open now!

Had a chance to take the Mother's Day pasta class

Had a chance to take the Mother's Day pasta class with @saltyseattle (they're recorded so I could do it a month later). It was so much fun playing with what is basically edible Play-Doh. Learned so much and seriously leveled up my pasta game. Also picked up her book so I'll definitely be trying more recipes and colors!

Thanks to @sewwithsonia for getting me hooked on yet another hobby 🤪

I got super lucky during the @siliconvalleymqg quilt retreat a few weeks ago and won this gorgeous set of perle cotton thread from @alisonglass 😍 Huge thank you to Alison for supporting our guild retreat! She also came and chatted with us which was awesome. Having insight into her creative process gets me even more excited about her fabrics and lines! I've got a couple ideas for what I might use these for, but it'll definitely be something special.

Finally got around to posting this block of the month quilt I did with @siliconvalleymqg last year. It was very modern and out of my comfort zone. I found the final placement of the pieces which was up to us, not dictated by the pattern, very challenging. But overall happy with it and hope it will keep someone warm! Fabric is all Kona solids. Fantastic quilting by @luckypennyquilting!

S'mores macarons. Probably my best yet. Which means by Murphy's macaron laws my next batch will probably have terrible hollows 😛 But I'll enjoy these for a bit

Shell and graham cracker crumble recipes from @sweetmacshop
Chocolate ganache recipe from @bakingartscookingschool
Marshmallow fluff recipe from @livforcake

Yesterday's production: lime basil, strawberry rhubarb (with a vanilla buttercream wall), lemon.

Per usual some things worked, some things didn't, but I learned from all of it.

Really liking the cookie recipe from @sweetmacshop. Filling recipes are my own.

I recently got back to the pottery studio and all

I recently got back to the pottery studio and all these pretties I made pre-pandemic were waiting for me. More details and thoughts about the pieces on my pottery account @themuddypig which should be more active now that I'm going to the studio again. Or just enjoy the highlights that I post here 😊
