Welcome to my little corner of the world where the cattle and horses graze in the pastures, gardens are being tended to, cats and dogs play, family and friends are gathering and pottery is being made.
I was made for autumn
"I am made for autumn. Summer and I have a fickle relationship, but everything about autumn is perfect for me. Wooly jumpers, scarves, thin, first, then thick socks. The low slanting light. The crisp mornings, the chill in my fingers, those last warm sunny days...
Inspired by nature
I have been trying to find my way in the pottery design. Something unique, rustic with lots of patina and uncomplicated. I knew that I wanted to incorporate elements of nature. Walking in our pastures and woods, I have picked up lots of deer sheds and unusual pieces...
A fresh new look
With spring comes renewal, a refresh, and a new start. It is time to clean out the closets, get rid of cobwebs, and open the windows. It is time to kick off the heavy shoes and go barefooted and soak up the warming sun. It is also a season to get a new mindset, new...
creating an artist’s way of life
It has been a while since I last posted a blog. I don't know where the time goes. One minute it is the fourth of July, the next, it is almost Christmas. To me, this year has been a blur. Lots of ups and downs, disappointments, and gleeful moments. All in all, it...
hey, y’all!
Remember me? ––– It has been a bit since I have written a blog. Life has a way of throwing you curve balls from time to time. I needed a minute to take it all in, mull it over, readjust and begin again. I think when we get too comfortable, being too relaxed and not...
keep calm and carry on
Isn't that the old saying? Keep calm and carry on? It has been my mantra for a long time. But sometimes, I can't keep calm or carry on. I am a pretty even keel person. I can usually take situations, digest them and find a solution in a calm matter. However, I have...
spiritual practice
I am a firm believer in Psalms 46:10. Be Still and know that I am God. I have to say to myself, many times a day, BE STILL. My mind wants to race from one thing to the next. It seems like I need to be in constant motion. But, as I age, I crave a simpler life. Not to...
flowers
If you know me, you know how much I love flowers. Any kind of flower, be it a weed, wildflower or most prized rose. If it blooms, I love it. It is still cold in Texas. We really won't warm up until April. That is when the wildflowers show up, in a big way! Texas...
a little reflection
Can you believe it is Christmas already? Sometimes it feels like this year has been 7 years long, and on the other hand, it has flown by. It has certainly been a heavy year. So much to take in, so much to understand and accept. What I do understand is that people...
enjoy
I was chatting with my friend (hey B!) the other day about how in the world it is the middle of October already?! October is my favorite month and I really haven't been enjoying it as I should. I still love all that October offers. Sweaters, fall wildflowers,...
changing
My yoga instructor (Jill with Flow Hot yoga) guided us in the most beautiful mediation last night. After a vigorous yoga practice, we slowed it down with a restorative yoga practice. Jill started by talking about the weather changing and how it affects us. That this...
fall is here!
Fall is my very favorite time of year! I have waited all year for this day. Being in central Texas, it is usually very hot until the middle of October. However, today, it is nice and cool with a little drizzle. A perfect way to start the fall season. I am renewed...
