Two bunny jars getting sent to a new home! 💕The yellow wall is our living room and I hate it. However, we rent our house and I'm convinced that as soon as I paint it, the landlord will decide to sell. So I live with it. 😂😳🙄 Our home is pretty close to perfect for us and considering the housing market in Portland, we would have trouble finding something similar. Having a housing situation that is reliant on someone else is hard for me at this age. I've always rented, and likely always will. Any other "older" renters out there? Have you made peace with that choice? Do you still long for your own home?

Bouquet vase. These are a great size for grocery store bouquets of flowers. Just trim a few inches off the stems and pop them in the vase! About 9" tall.

It is a gorgeous spring day in Portland. We cleaned out our weed bed 😫 and I'm going to make an effort with some flowers this year. All my seedlings didn't make it- so I'm being very optimistic right now. 😜🤞

I don't talk about it here, because I assumed I would be preaching to the choir. But maybe I'm not, how would I know? I barely know any of you. 😳I am also going to assume that 95%+ of my followers are white. And since most (all) white people continue to benefit from and perpetuate white supremacy- well, that math doesn't add up.

If you aren't doing the work in your own life to educate yourself on white supremacy and white fragility, it's past time to do so. I've found @rachel.cargle and @ihartericka to be great entry points for education, critical thinking and encouraging action. They both speak on a variety of topics, are generous with their knowledge and provide further resources.

Talking about politics is way outside my wheelhouse- but we all need to start getting comfortable with anti-racism work.

Latourell Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. Icy and muddy hike. Although it is a popular waterfall, the loop hike up to the upper falls is usually pretty quiet and it's not very long. So it's a great way to get into the woods for just a bit. And who doesn't love a good patch of bright lichen on a cold winter day??

I had intended these to be jugs with handles- but this cold, dry weather dried them faster than anticipated and I missed the "sweet spot" for applying a handle. 🤷‍♀️ maybe next time. They will still be a fun form to decorate!

Rabbits on a jar. Pulled out the first pieces with bunnies from the kiln this morning. Several disappointing failures but a few successes, too. That's how potters roll. 😂 I will release a small collection of rabbit goods in a few days.
