making me happy....





*  morning mists

*  blackberrying

*  The children singing their own compositions (the ode to the xylophone 'The Plinketty, Plonketty 
    Thing' is my current fave)

*  exploring new glazes - I need to create the perfect purple...

* the smell of fresh bread

* spinning (I'm obsessed!)

* windfall marmalade  (we'd run out. hurrah for autumn!)

* starting the holiday knitting

  1. I like your list. I like the way the things that make you happy are the simple, everyday things. The mug in the first photo is amazing - is it one of yours? x

    1. I'm a great believer in the simple things being the best. The mug is one of mine but I confess it's not really my design. When I was first pregnant with Jess I treated myself to a ceramics course with Jack Doherty knowing it would be years before I would make again. It's my favourite yunomi - I have my coffee in it every day even though I know it's a japanese tea vessel...

    1. Me too! it's not easy to get purple but part of me finds joy in glaze testing.
