flock and gather this weekend

it’s been busy around these parts lately. 
really what artist isn’t busy in the lead up to the holidays? 
sales and custom orders keeping the kilns warm day after day. 
it’s a fun little stressful energy. 
i love and hate it all at once. 
sometimes it keeps me up at night 
and some days it provides new directions and exciting developments. 
and sadly it’s sometimes the reason that this blog gets a bit neglected. 
and i’m sorry for that.
things will be back to normal again next week : )
until then i’m back to the studio in final prep for a sale here in #yxe 
that i’m proud to be an organizer and vendor at. 
please stop by and say hi if you’re in the area.
