I painted some kittens today. I did give them eyes and noses but I forgot to film that so you get this instead. #ceramics #pottery #minicatsofbluesky

Cookie isn't usually the cuddly one. He must have missed me today. #catsofbluesky

I took a Zyrtec and the studio is very, very quiet this morning. I just want to lay my head on the table and take a nap. I wish we had a lounge with a couch. I might have to make that suggestion.

I spent so many hours painting all of these today. I hope they survive but at this point I'm too tired to really worry about it. Almost a week left until the show. #pottery #ceramics #miniatures

I haven't been to the Inova Healthplex in Franconia since they started the hospital build. The previously bad parking situation has been made worse but I look forward to the garages once this whole thing is done.

Here's an interactive map of the voting results in NYC www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Amazing!

A nice visualization of where the votes for Spanberger came from (reposted because of autocorrect) votehub.com/va-gov-2025

Very neat GIS map of wait times at poll sites in NYC. Their polls don't close until 9pm. boenyc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboa...

Screaming, crying, throwing up

New flock of birds created! I'm giving my ducks more realistic heads this time. I'm already thinking about what other kinds of birds I could make. #pottery #ceramics #birbs #chickens

Yoinked from Reddit.

The birds are out of the kiln! #pottery #ceramics #chickens

Woke up at old 6am and could not convince my brain to go back to sleep. Will the 3 yo continue sleeping past new 7am? I hope so 🤞

Finally got to check out Continues tonight and it was pretty fun. The food is delicious. Overall a very fun addition to the neighborhood! You definitely need reservations though.

This feels like an ornament that many people on here would identify with.

When the cats are running around jumping off things this is what I think of youtu.be/0Kvw2BPKjz0?...

Did anyone see the meteor tonight around 8-8:10pm? I happened to look north and saw a light streaking across the sky before burning out.

This house on Oak St was easily our favorite. The tongue moved and the candy dropped down it. All the windows had black shadows of dancing demons. It was AMAZING!

I love knowing so many artists and crafters that are always willing to offer help or suggestions. You all make my heart so happy

Del Ray Artisan members: I've been exploring places to show my pottery and I'm curious if you would recommend becoming a member and/or entering shows there. I'm also curious where else you show your work. Please overwhelm me with your knowledge!

And a cactus in a "wooden" planter! #ceramics #pottery

Can't stop, won't stop. #pottery #ceramics #daffodils

The 3 yo asked me to play KPop Demon Hunter's soundtrack on the way to school. When Golden came on we turned it up loud and she wanted her window open so everyone could hear it as we rolled into the parking lot

Today was glaze day. Chickens, rainbow kitties, and one duck. Two weeks until the show and I'm working as fast as I can. #ceramics #pottery

The 3 yo had major hat head for school photo day (oops!) so I threw some clips in her hair and, while still cute, I can't help but laugh. The clips don't match, they're just thrown in her hair in a style she'd never normally wear...it's hilarious.

Today my 3 yo said she loved me [after I bought her a donut] and that I'm the "best cooker ever" [after I made her packaged ramen]. *nods with a smug look on my face*

Mini bell pepper charm anyone? #ceramics #pottery

You. Guys. Oh. Emm. Gee. #ceramics #pottery

Gary is a menace.

Someone convince me not to add another kitten to our family. www.petfinder.com/cat/beau-143...

I got my last plants in the ground and only two might actually be dead! I also watered everything since we've had no rain for weeks. I was getting weird looks from people walking by and I wanted to yell "don't you know we're in a drought?!?" but being considered weird is better than insane.

My 3 yo slept until 9:30 today. She admittedly didn't fall asleep until 11pm but I'll take it.

Can we just launch Ted Cruz into space already? I don't think anyone would miss him. www.space.com/space-explor...

Fresh out of bisque and waiting for a little clear glaze on the water before it heads off to the high fire kiln. Please let it turn out okay because I love him 😭 #pottery #ceramics

The pumpkin skeleton in @beckyhammer.bsky.social and @josephfray.bsky.social's front bushes made me laugh as I drove by. Is it supposed to look like it's taking a dump or is that just what my mind wanted to see? Either way thank you for the needed levity.

I don't know how Marcus from VR chat showed up in my IG feed but now I'm mildly obsessed with him.

Should I make these mini cats into charms or leave them as fun miniatures? #ceramics #pottery #cats

They were playing this on EITM this morning www.merriam-webster.com/games/reunion

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

After all these years you'd think I'd remember that Chewish Deli isn't open on Mondays and Tuesdays and yet I'm always disappointed.

If you were going to wear a mini food charm what kind of food items would you want to wear? (No super complicated food suggestions please)

A few photos from the #NoKings rally at Market Square

Attn @beckyhammer.bsky.social

Is there a No Kings rally at Market Square tomorrow? I know about the Route 1 thing.

I finally finished painting all of the minis and started on the 3 capybara dishes that have been sitting around for months. My kid asked if she could buy one and how much they cost. Does it count as a sale if I have to give her the money to buy it from me? #pottery #ceramics

Yesterday morning these fuzzy butts were sleeping on their flowers. I saw two of them again this morning on the same flowers. #nativeplants #bees

In my rambling off-the-cuff speech I forgot to thank the Commission 🥴 so here's a belated thank you! Also thank you to @sarahbagley.bsky.social and @alyia4alx.com for being friends of the environment and for coming tonight. It's a very special feeling to be recognized with all the other winners.

I bought new Adidas today and told the cashier that they're my dress shoes for this evening. She said "REALLY?!?" and I can't decide if the shock was because she would never wear sneakers as dress shoes or because I'm old and only kids wear sneakers as dress shoes. Either way fuck dress shoes.

Anyone know why all of GWMS is currently in their field and walking along Braddock to the trail towards King St metro?
