birthday presents!

now i can become super educated about pottery! and about jesus's childhood.

lilly takes a hike

little kids really get a kick out of a dog in a backpack. and so did a few old men. weird.

pendants

i've also started making pendants out of my textured scraps at pottery class. i am sort of in love with them. i had to buy ONE HUNDRED of the 'bails' that you use on the back so i'm sure i'll be making a lot more!

platters!

i made a few platters and a deviled egg tray for my upcoming backyard bday party. i'm going to be making fancy sandwiches which is why i made the platters. i should be able to use veggies from my garden which is totally radical.

new necklaces..

i haven't made necklaces in forever but i got this turquoise center piece in telluride when my mom was here so it inspired me!

my first garden 'harvest'

i already have spinach ready for consumption from my flower bed garden! wednesday night i'm having eric over for dinner and i'm going to make baked ricotta and spinach rigatoni...yum!!!

steampunk grasshopper

my mom bought me these little birdie plates...love them...

but now they have a grasshopper buddy! eric traded this print for his canoe salsa bowl...it's a steampunk grasshopper! i love him so

brie's bday 'cake'

brie doesn't like cake so for her THIRTIETH bday i made her dessert sushi.
ingredients are rice krispies, gummy worms, marshmallows, twizzlers, fruit rollups, green dyed frosting and ginger candy! and no, i did not think of this myself! ha

canoe salsa bowl and water platter

eric requested a salsa bowl from pottery class so i decided to make a salsa boat!

yard!

the rain has been good to my plants and veggies!

corn and tomatoes and squash...oh my!
