Break Time!

I am off on a Muddy Mama holiday.  time for a break, winter was long and hard for everyone, but I know that I need a recharge, and that means sand and water for me. Oh yes, some Pino Grigio.

I like to be busy, and I love being a Mama, but I also know that a good Mama is a happy Mama, and vice versa.  This means I need to have times where I disconnect from North American life, social media, and multi tasking with my various jobs and community work.  It is way too much my modus operandi to say yes to things being asked of me, but I also need to practice self care, since I preach that to my clients.  So, I need to walk the walk rather than just talk the talk.

I am really happy that my CSA Casi Cielo has a full house with 10 families that I am going to be growing fruits and vegetables for all summer is a blossoming success.  I am part of a new Pop Up Shop in the exchange district starting in May.  Stay tuned! Its all good, but I recognize it needs a lot of energy so this little energizer bunny is saying Peace out for a week!

Back from Holidays

Even though it is only the beginning of the biggest production and sales season of the year, we have had a break.  A Family Celebration in Toronto took us away for 4 great days!  When I am away from the studio , etc....it always feels more like a break.

Here are a few highlights.  this is my Godmother, Zenovia.  She is a piece of my past and my foundation so it was great to have a few hours with her today, Mr. G took the pictures, and as you can see we ate heartily!

Ceramics inspired by Mesopotamia.

Gman and I in downtown Toronto after time at the ROM and the famous Gregs ice cream, gale force winds too!

We both want to call this one, Dont leave me hanging!

Well, bright and early tomorrow back to the wheel, and to transform the wonderful fall leaves I brought home into many wonders of clay!

My Birthday gift to myself!

This is a view of Cypress Gardens within Legoland in Florida

WE just got back from a 5 day break to Orlando.  We hung out, did Legoland and Universal and drove down to Clearwater.  I didnt force the little guy to go to galleries, will save that for a grown up trip.

I am already back at, but so glad we had some respite from Winnipegs grey and white colours.
