This butterfly postcard was the colour and shading

This butterfly postcard was the colour and shading I’d been aiming for with the glaze on this jug I made at wonderful @thefarnhampottery
I’m glossing over the somewhat ‘solid’ base of this - over an inch!! My previous attempts had all ended up in the bucket because I’d been far too cavalier trying to bring up clay from the bottom. So this one was overly cautious. But at least it didn’t topple like the others.
Learning to throw at the wheel was so challenging and physically demanding but also such a mental reset. Thanks to our teacher Serenity who more than lived up to her name - particularly when dealing with my many cries for help 🤣
Now I want to learn more…. Why did the wax resist on the jug on image 2 go so brown? Why do I always end up making cylinders or jugs even when I set out to make a wide dish? And why didn’t I use some more colourful glazes? I want to try it all again.
That’s the thing about pottery - it draws you in and makes you want to do more.

If, like me, you’re never happier than when you’re

If, like me, you’re never happier than when you’re messing about in overalls or workwear, I’m thinking you might also enjoy an apron dress. I’ve shared how I made this one using roll end fabric and a great pattern by @dolly_clothing
It wasn’t all plain sailing… 🤣 there were ruched seams to unpick, a rushed mistake or two, but I came to realise that sewing is not a dark art I’ll never be able to get to grips with. If I can make something wearable like this ANYONE can! I’ve shared a few of my favourite pattern ideas too 💕🧵

How lovable is this Eeyore knitting pattern by Claire Garland @dotpebbles_knits? We have 10 to be won and entering couldn’t be easier so why don’t you give it a go? (link in my bio).
Eeyore is my favourite from Claire’s Winnie the Pooh collection because he’s ever so slightly saggy around the edges and in need of love… If you’re looking for your next knitting or craft project he is easy to make and sure to be loved by whoever you decide to make him for. Good luck and happy knitting! X

My happy place. Flowers, bees, butterflies and a shed for all seasons… My absolute favourite dahlias came from a packet of seeds sent by Erin of @floretflower along with a review copy of her beautiful book. I didn’t know what I had when I sowed and later planted them. I’ve been hooked on dahlias ever since. My favourite is tall and coral and it flowers and flowers like there’s no tomorrow.
