Or, you know. Hanging monkeys. Whatever. Two weeks into beginning my slow move from Etsy to my own domain, and here are five reasons why I’m already convinced it was the right move: 1. I can have more than ten categories*. 2. Category names can be more than 20 characters long. 3. Key word/search tags [...]

One thing about firing the kiln is that it takes about 16 hours to cool down enough to open. A lesson in patience if there every was one — because I’m usually itching to find out how everything came out! Lots of custom orders in this batch!

Yesterday I dyed yarn (as I did the day before). And I wound dry yarn (also as I did the day before). Today I will dye more yarn (as I will tomorrow) and I will wind any dry yarn (and tomorrow I will probably wind more). If this inspired-by-Star-Wars yarn is not a hit, I’m [...]

Mermaids! A friend of mine asked me months ago if I could make her some mermaids. We had a flurry of back-and-forth emails and then I set to stalking eBay for ceramic molds, waiting for exactly the mold of the specific mermaid she wanted. It took a few months, but one did come up, and [...]

Let’s get all deep and shit while I reflect upon how just like springtime blooming of flowers, my online shop is growing, stretching, putting out new — WHUTWHUT it’s way too early in the morning for me to be that philosophical.
