The pottery is beautiful! I wish I knew how to make useful things. Your garden is, too. Just as it is. Taking things slow and learning as you go is how I've learned everything I know about growing a garden. I think that's pretty good advice for just about everything in life.

Thank you Rita. 🧡 Taking it slow a step at time seems to take the overwhelm out of doing something new. A garden is a great teacher.

Oh Diana! First of all, planning your travel around the firing of/in your kiln feels like an organic metaphor. Not to mention laying pavers stone by stone and removing others as a new journey. And the wonderful little bowls! That fruit platter!! I am trying to figure out how to crawl through my screen to claim it. Your work is gorgeous—absolutely stunning in its simplicity and the confidence of its intention.

Your pottery is just beautiful. I am imagining sitting at a winery with delicious food on these dishes (and sipping equally delicious wine). 🍷

I loved the unloading video! I'm attending a ceramic workshop this week. Today was the first day, which was amazing—two more days to go. The artist's name is Adam Knoche. I appreciate the interactive nature of your posts - writing, photos, and videos. Beautiful!

Oh thank you Tugba ( I cannot figure out how to get the grammatical curve over the G in your name 😵‍💫) - I will check this artist out! I do love trying a multi- media approach. Everyone takes information in differently! Liebste Grüße nach der Hauptstadt 🧡

No worries. :) I don’t even have the silent g on my keyboard, but I copy and paste. I don't expect others to go the extra mile. I hope you enjoyed the sunny weather in the last couple of days. Have a good start to the week, Diana 🖤

The stone patio is looking good! Great job, Diana!

Your pottery is quiet and beautiful and will make the food served in it shine brighter and taste better, I'm sure!

I must say also that you are super brave - I just spent an hour wrapping 40+ small pieces from workshops to take back to the local school (gifts for Mother's Day), which is about a 3 minute drive away... and I am terrified of all the things that can go wrong... Taking a whole set of commissioned work all the way to Italy... WOW 💪🏽
