All the single ladies.. All the single ladies..



Goodmorning!

I wanted to share with you this awesome feature I am happy to be a part of with Ms Modern, "home of the unwed & unbred." All month they are featuring different indie designers daily and offering a giveaway with each feature! The theme of the giveaway is Anti-Valentine.. so it makes it EXTRA fun! FYI "In Love" Valentines are also offered on certain giveaways including mine for those of you that are happy in love! Fun for everyone! :)

Stop by and take a peak! They did a great job getting it all together!

Tell me what you think~

Free Valentine gift with EVERY Valentine order!




To show you how much I love you.. I made these lovely little gifts for all of my February purchases in my Etsy shop from February 3 through February 9, 2010. Each design varies slightly in color and text.. Fun little heart shaped holders great for a spoon rest, chopsticks, votive, or just as a cute home accent!

Be My Valentine! xoxo, Chrissy

Connecting human to human with love~



I love repetition. Even more.. I love creating repetitive forms in the midst of a steady HEAVY Bass rhythm. My whole self goes into this mantra, becoming that rhythm.. its my meditation. It clears my head and refreshes my entire self...therapy even.

Standing here in my studio cleaning dipping bowls, and listening to Daddy Freddy, feeling the bass on my feet through my UGG boots. My fingers are wet and cold, my neck is warm and cozy in my scarf, my head nods becoming part of the movement.

I am reminded of my undergrad sculptures and I think it is time I get back to it! I am reminded of the "Counting Fish" story in one of my favorite books Zen Inklings. Thoroughly content in where I am and why I do what I do.

Handmade and making has been part of (wo)mankind since the beginning of time. I work and make to continue the movement. To connect to other humans from all over, ages, classes, ethnicities. It is the one common thread that connects us all, relates us to our roots. It is a peace movement. One that I am really proud to be a part of.

Thank you for all your support, and enabling me to do what I do!

There's no place like home!



Do you ever have one of those days where you just can't make a thing, and nothing seems to go right?
That was my day today.
Deadlines coming up quick on my calendar, and no matter what I did, nothing was working in my favor! Yikes!!!
So I called it quits, through in my white flag & let the clay win today.
I tidied up the house, grabbed the new issue of Better Homes and Gardens from my mailbox, poured a nice glass of Oyster Bay's Pinot Noir, and lit up a sugar cookies candle!
Cozy! :)
Maybe the universe is telling me to take a night off & enjoy.
I guess I will surrender to that.
I'll try again tomorrow!
Enjoy your evening~ xo, Chrissy
