Hello!!! How are you? Its been a while. I wish this could be a a post about a pottery update but alas that has not what my world has looked like for the past month. I miss my little studio and the feeling of clay between my fingers but, it's waiting for me.🔹Once the 3rd trimester hit I felt a deep pull to begin the mental, physical and emotional transition into becoming a mother. This meant things slowed way down and I wanted to give myself this time to savor and possibly mourn the familiar life I'm stepping out of and embracing the unknown trail that lies ahead. I wanted to soak up the beauty of carrying and growing a life within. I wanted to step back from the hustle. I am grateful that where I am at in my life, my work and my relationship has allowed and encouraged this space and time of growth.🔹My days are still filled with creating and making its just been more focused on the little one. I have been making a cozy space for her in our tiny home, knitting clothing and sewing toys. There has been lots of harvesting, canning goodness from the garden and dyeing skeins of wool with golden rod 💛.🔹I want to keep this little space going and hope to fill it with some new clay creations in the future but, I hope for now you won't mind a little life outside the studio. I value each one of you and if you have read this far thank you for listening to a bit of personal stuff. Xx 💕Pictured above along with the 36weeks baby bump is the start of #autumnbonnetkal. A knit along being held by @justmywoollielambs. 👋I think you can join anytime so come join us.👋 I am knitting the #maudebonnet with a merino/cashmere yarn picked up at a thrift store that has been waiting in my stash for something special. 💕 . #fallknitting#babybumps and #newmotherhoodjitters#potteryonhold
Garden gifts... . . . A walk through the garden in the early morning... when fog and dew wrap and weave their arms around you. I lingered here a little longer to breathe it all in...💚 . . . #gardenwalk #gardenharvest #squashblossom #artofslowliving
Horseback on Sunday morning, harvest over, we taste persimmon and wild grape, sharp sweet of summer's end. In time's maze over fall fields, we name names that rest on graves. We open a persimmon seed to find the tree that stands in promise, pale, in the seeds marrow. Geese appear high over us, pass, and the sky closes. Abandon, as in love or sleep, holds them to their way, clear in the ancient faith; what we need is here. And we pray, not for new earth or heaven, but to be quiet in heart, and in eye clear, what we need is here. THE WILD GEESE ~Wendell Berry . . . Grateful for the harvest and the wise words of Wendell Berry. 🌿Have a beautiful day! . . . #morningharvest#basil#wendellberry

A thank you bouquet🌹for everyone who stopped by the shop. Thank you so much for your support it means so much to me and the continuation of this little business.🌹 This year has been flying by and being pregnant has brought a different set of challenges to our tiny home and to all I wanted to accomplish in the studio. They have been good challenges, a time of growth and learning to take things as they come.🌱 I have just completed the last of my large orders and hope to finish the remaining small ones. I am really wanting to have one more small shop update before the end of September with a little collection of items for all of you who have been patiently waiting. I can't make any promises but I will try my hardest. Thank you for all of your support and understanding!! The wheels of Peach Bottom Pottery couldn't keep rolling without ya Xx🌹 . . . #thankyoubouquet #smallbusinesslove #flowersfrommygarden #dailyflowers #floretblooms

Can you hear the Wood Thrush song? . . . This morning has been peaceful. There is soft sunlight over the green meadow with sheep grazing, clean crisp air making it chilly enough for a sweater and oh the birdsong. Savoring these quiet moments. No life is not always like this but this moment it is. Wishing you peaceful moments in your day.. . . . #mountainsandmeadows #peachbottompottery #peacefulmoments #handmadedinnerware
