🎊A little taste of everything 2018 served up.🎊 Our little one is growing ever so fast and I am trying to keep up and soak it all in. Ready to return to the clay and find the balance between running a business and being present for Embry. Our sheep will have babies of their own come spring and hoping for more flowers to fill PBP vases. And in the wee leftover time work a stitch or two. 🎊Thank you everyone for your sweet comments, purchases and love over the past year. May your year ahead be filled with health, happiness, love and all the things you are wishing for. Bring on 2019!! . . . #goodbye2018 #hello2019 #babies #clay#sheep #handknits #flowersfrommygarden
Checking the girls on skis. They don't seem as happy about the snow as we are though. They are happy to see that fresh bale of hay get delivered.❄ Made another ski run this morning and it's already melting...I hate to see it go. My favorite way to be in the woods is schushing along on a pair of skis. It is always so quiet and peaceful. Are you out there enjoying this winter wonderland? . . . #virginiaskiing #snowlover#snowysheep #magicalwinter
Patiently the clay waits for me to begin again.. . . . Not so patiently I wait to return to my little studio. I started these on Monday, it was my birthday and a quick window of time offered itself while the baby slept. Six mugs thrown and now in need of trimming. These are destined to be Poppy and a couple in Bluebell design with hopes of throwing more. ❄So far the biggest lessons I'm learning in my new role as a mama are have a whole lot of patience with yourself and to not set yourself up with to many expectations. ❄ So, with this little window of time I wanted to say hello, let you know that I'm still here and wanting to continue to make beautiful pieces for you. Step by step, little by little!! . . . #makermama #makingmeditation #whilethebabysleeps#feellikeabeginner
Ice storm equals no power which makes for a cozy evening cooking soup and grilled cheese on the little wood stove and feeding sweet baby by candlelight. ✨ . . . #nightlight #cozyevening #makedo
She's a wolfpack of one A radiant flower An innocent savage With a heart-bell that's rung By the breath of her mother In the early morning hours, By the words of her father On the sound-bow of his tongue ~Words by DH♡ Embry made her journey earthside October 23. Mom and babe healthy and happy. Our hearts cracked wide open and our world forever changed. In Love💕 . . . #newbabycub #newbornhibernation#thefirst40days#4thtrimester

Simple Saturdays cutting dahlias and pulling carrots to make Carrot Scones with maple glaze (recipe found in @makingzine🍁 It's time to start clearing the garden. 🌿The last of the weeds pull easy with all the rain and I aim to reclaim a little space each day as much as this 39week belly will allow. Hoping to greet our little bundle within the week. Waiting has been the hardest part. 🍁Wishing you a peaceful and lovely weekend. 🍊 . . . #onmytable #simpleceramics #dahlias#fromthegarden #peachbottompottery
Now constantly there is the sound, quieter than rain of the leaves falling. Under their loosening bright gold, the sycamore limbs bleach whiter. Now the only flowers are beeweed and aster, spray of their white and lavender over the brown leaves. The calling of a crow sounds loud - a landmark - now silent, and the nights grow. October 10, by Wendell Berry 🍁Happy Autumn Equinox 🍁 Finished little ones #maudebonnet for the #autumnbonnetkal being held over on @justmywoollielambs feed. So many adorable patterns and beautiful knitting inspiration 💜 #fallcolors #fallknitting #potteryonhold #flowersfromourwalk
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
