...my button mugs...

...my latest porcelain creations...

...inspired by a student...

...a student ACTUALLY asked ME if it was too early for chocolate,

he then brought me PEANUT BUTTER M&Ms...

...rub-a-dub-dub...

...my two girls in the tub...

...cupcakes to die for...

...mmm saw some of my students eating one of these amazing looking cupcakes,

and have now discovered but a mere 20 meters from my office building the

 lady cupcake shop, set in a shop not more than 8 sq metros are the most 

amazing cupcakes,

so naturally i have made it my personal mission to try them all, 

over a period of a few visits of course, but not too many. so far i have 

forced myself through the red velvet, black velvet, banana caramel, black forrest 

peppermint aero caramel, and will be putting in a solid effort to get through 

the apple pie, death by decadent chocolate (with a hidden lint ball inside)

to name but a few, it's hard work but i'm no quitter...

...i looooove porcelain...

...so, after NEARLY DYING (please note the very rare use of caps, for dramatic effect),

i decided that i really want to start doing things that make me happy again.

one tends to get so blaze about doing things for yourself as there is never 'enough time', god can someone hit the violins, i'm living the fucking stereotype,

anyway, i digress, so i decided to start a ceramics class with some friends, note how i call it 'ceramics' because  a 'pottery' class sounds so housewifey.

so here is my first experimentation with porcelain, a bit of a bitch to work with, but just love the droopy elephant foot look, and just wait till you see it with a tea light candle.

i wanna become a full time porcelain thingy maker...
