stepping into someone else’s shoes….

Well, I did it again… wrote a draft, and then life happened. Two years of it. I still find what I wrote below to be relevant with a bit of updating, as I am once again a sabbatical replacement, this time at Doane University in Lincoln, Nebraska. I’ll be filling in for my friend Eric Stearns while…

Yesterday was a complete wash, not sure what I did, but the day just disappeared. So today I started the day with a walk and some garden time before the rain sets in - and even before coffee (horrors!) • This is the second of 6 planned beds. I planted spinach, radishes, lettuce, kale and baby bok choi. I have enough screws to put together one more bed, and then I wait for Amazon to deliver more. Different challenges these days! • #socialdistancing #waitfordelivery #garden #spring #growyourown #vegetables #organicgardening #spinach #lettuce #radishes #spring #seattle #seattlegarden #shelterinplace #stayhome
Happy 28th birthday to my favorite (and only 😉) child @_cheezal_. It makes me incredibly proud to see you thriving and building the life you want in California. Here’s to another million-billion selfies with you!!! 😘 - - - #birthday #son #onlychild #family #photos #selfie #celebrate
Social distancing/self isolation. Week 1 complete. —————— 1. Sourdough bagels. 2. Bagels in progress. 3. Clay stash. 4. Clay stash got bigger. 5. Family foto, circa 2015. 😂 6. Today. Yep, I’m still here. 7. Six cubic yards of compost. 🥰 —————— How are you doing? . . . #socialdistancing #seattle #seattlelife #potteryonhold #bagels #sourdough #clay #moreclay #spring #gardentime #compost #moodoo #selfie
Such a difficult decision to have to make. #Repost @nceca with @get_repost ・・・ After an exhaustive process of due diligence conversations and staff preparation efforts, we have come to a difficult decision to cancel the 2020 NCECA conference planned for Richmond, Virginia. We know this message is not the one many of you were hoping to receive. For others, it may be the challenging and difficult decision you hoped NCECA might reach. Please know that all of you reading this message are in our thoughts and understand that while reported risk levels for COVID-19 infection may currently be low in the conference region, the unique challenges and responsibilities associated with staging large gatherings at the present time remain immensely complex – the 2020 NCECA board and staff.
It’s a flameware kind of morning. I made three of these small, shallow maple syrup pots for the stovetop. This might be my favorite. It’s making me hungry for buckwheat pancakes.... •• #studiomorning #pouringpot #flameware #ceramics #pottery #clay #clayliveshere #maplesyrup #pancakes #syruppot #potterynorthwest #redclaylove
Thanks for the shout out, Jake!! I feel so lucky to be able to spend time working with you. Having you in class has been an added bonus!! •• #Repost @j.brodsky with @get_repost ・・・ It’s been a blast to try working with flameware in a class @potterynorthwest with @chandazea. This is a clay body that is designed to be cooked with on the stovetop and in the oven. What a joy to combine my ever growing loves of cooking and making pots for the table and home. Salmon was roasted in the oven and asparagus sautéed on the stovetop. Thanks for teaching the class Chanda, and thanks Robbie @cookonclay for chatting with me this fall and sharing your recipes with the world! #flameware #kilntotable #potterynorthwest #clayliveshere
