The ghost of craft shows past.

My mother has kindly informed me that my poor neglected blog is "boring", so I've added a few photos to jazz it up a little.

 

The land down under.

The family and I have moved back home to Australia. We are surrounded by gorgeous green and blue at every turn. I love to wake up and see the horses grazing right outside my window.

I have set up a small studio on the back patio and I'm slowly getting some work done.

It's been nice to get back on the wheel again. It took quite of bit of time to get some clay freighted up to us but it's finally here and I'm happy to get my hands dirty again.

There have been quite a few trips to the beach for "market research". Mum and I sat on those deck chairs for hours while Lilly played in the sand. We had gone to inspect the local craft market earlier that morning and had lunch at Castaways.

The scenery has been very inspiring. I have started adding frangipanis to some dishes and they are looking pretty nice. I have so many ideas about adding frogs and other native animals. It's wonderful to feel so enthused and motivated with new ideas.

I've been making my spotty tableware also. I can't wait to stick a little bright green frog on the side of a dish. Here is one of the locals inspecting my work.

I'm back.

Well I see that it's been an eternity since my last update. Many interesting things have happened in the last year.
I now have a cute little bubby called Matilda to keep me busy day and night. We also moved to Australia about two months ago. There's so much to write about but posting from a phone is murder on the thumbs.

Newport

I did a show in Newport on Saturday. It was such a beautiful day with a wonderful view from my tent. I made some new stamped dishes just for the occassion. I am really liking them.

 

Where have I been?

Nowhere really. Just home. After trying to recover from my pre-holiday insanity my orders starting rushing in. I have been busy trying to fill wholesale accounts.

I made these little beauties for Valentine's.

I spent a bit of time doing this finally.  

I took a bunch of photos of my personal collection.

I had such a great time. Thanks everyone.
  
 
 
  
 

Yey computer!

I have been without a computer for several days and it has been horrible. I am a confessed computer junkie. After I met my now husband online I was checking me email and messenger frequently and now that my wholesale orders come via email, I'm still hooked. I have about a dozen orders sitting in my basement ready to go out but with no computer I couldn't put anything into Quickbooks and I couldn't print any shipping labels. Hopefully Monday will be.... Oh and here is where I realize Monday is a holiday and I won't be shipping anything. Tuesday everything will be shipped.

 

 
I have some really cute new cupcake stands but I haven't taken any good shots so you are stuck with some oldies.

Unfreaking believable.

I think I may have to switch from Typepad because I shouldn't have to attempt a post 6 times and then still have to start from scratch.

Mr Postman!

 

I had been looking for a long time but I finally found what I was searching for. The mold for these little guys is on its way and I'm just waiting for my postman to deliver it. I have been doing the birdies for ages now and I need a change. I took some photos on some other delicious studio developments but I accidentally left the camera upstairs and I am too lazy to go and get it. It's been a long day.
