Hey so ... ok. I just wanted to remind you, that tomorrow night, Thursday, instead of our usual members class, you have a throw-a-thon....so you have this space, and this community, you have clay and you have me and I have you. And we'll just make pots, all night if we have to, until the grief and the stress, the rage and all the big feelings feel a little bit smaller. Community. Always.

Happy Pride and Coming Out week (lol like we don't spend our lives doing that) and Spooky Friday the 13th, an eclipse, and celebrating fall βœ¨πŸŽƒπŸ’•πŸ‘»πŸ™€πŸπŸŒˆ so many things......

Spooky kitty by .frog.studios standing in front of my love sign for PRIDE.

Remember PRIDE started as a protest, a riot, a reaction to the way our rights and our love is seen. We aren't done fighting until we are all safe and loved. Daphne and I strive to create a place for all makers but especially the LGBTQ and BIPOC communities and all intersections therein because access to a ceramic community is something we feel is vital and crucial to being a maker and earning your own πŸ’²and creating a body of work made for you and your community that you can then use your q***r earned πŸ’² to support others in your community πŸ’•πŸŒˆβœ¨πŸŒ±

Happy PRIDE, Happy Friday the 13th πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸŒˆ

Daphne made me plant these roses outside when we moved into our new house that we are so grateful to be in. If you know me you know I am an indoor plant lover and struggle with outside plantings. It's been a year since we were living at the Shepherd Center and now Daphne is walking with just a cane and is driving again. The passage of time is surreal not unlike this beautiful temporary flower.

It's getting easier to talk about what happened and a little easier to sleep through the night without being hyper vigilant.

Thank you to our studio staff, friends, and members for celebrating Daphne's progress in all the small ways we can. Looking forward to a beautiful fall πŸ‚πŸπŸŒˆβ€οΈβœ¨

Rare moment of these two actually snuggling. They got mad at me for checking on the studio in the bad storm this morning, barked forever then passed out. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­β€οΈπŸ˜

Happy 47 to me, made a cake with Daphne and the pups, had a nice dinner, and went to a fancy frame store to have framed a giant ass print from a purchase a year ago during a very rough time of being trapped at the Shepherd Center binge watching HGTV with Daphne during her recovery and then ordering a Walter Anderson print because it brought us a little freedom watching and dreaming of life after the hospital βœ¨πŸ’–πŸ’•
