First day of school

It's been a while since I've taken the time to write a posting, but now that the move is over and done with and the boys have started school, there is a little more time.

Only a little though, since the girl still needs a lot of me and I'm back to work at the pottery studio as of this morning. One year of mat leave goes fast!

Yesterday, being day one of grade 2 for my guys, Olivia, Toffee and I went for a walk. After Olivia fell asleep, we came back home and I rushed to get out the fibre and spinning wheel!

It's cooling down but still warm enough for a little outdoor spinning!

And, now that I've opened shop at etsy, I spun up this yarn I called Raspberry and posted it this morning.

While Olivia slept, Toffee the wonder pug stood watch.

Still wondering whether I should list this one or knit it...I just love the colour.

Pretty much every day I look up etsy and to a lesser degree, but still regularly, ravelry. I just love looking at the projects people are working on, the things that are being sold, and from time to time I see things that are very similar to some clay pieces that I've done in the past. That's really just the way it is; I believe there are no truly new ideas, but a multitude of different perspectives on the same idea. And reading through all these great blogs that are out there gets me really excited about all the possibilites there are for working with fibre.

As for now, here are some examples of what can be done in clay:

These first three are examples of my soul houses.

And here's a tea set.
