My Biggest Inspiration and Greatest JOY

So, before I get too far along in this blog I want to share some gratitude for some pretty awesome people.  I  owe the beauty in my life to my family, friends and the beauty of this earth but mainly to three people who share each and every day with me.  I was very lucky to meet this incredible man who decided to choose me 13 years ago.  Yep, I am the lucky one to have found him. I have been blessed with our wonderful children who l love dearly and feel the same love given in return.  They sure open my eyes to myself almost daily and their view of life and the world is one of joy and wonder.   What I have been thankful for as of late is the slowing down I have felt.  It is hard to settle into a slower pace sometimes and I wonder what to do with the space and time.  What I do know is that I enjoy being with these three amazing people.  My life is full because of them.

My creativity is also a gift cultivated by my family.  Without the love and support of my hubby I couldn't spend my days working and creating in my wonderful studio.  My children's art and drawings inspire me so much in my creative process.  Kids artwork is the absolute best!  I love it when they come out to the studio with a drawing of an owl and it becomes a cookie jar... It's crazy cool!

  

My son drew this beautiful bird reminiscent of folk art which now graces many pieces that come of out of my studio.  When I showed him the first bird design on a cup he said, "Wow Mom! It looks like a Moon Bird"... hence came the name, Moon Bird Pottery.  I will dig out the first drawing of the bird and post it sometime soon...  but for now here is the cup.

I just wanted to take a moment and be grateful 

for the wonderful family I am blessed to walk beside on this journey.

I'm sure glad to have them along for this wild ride. ~

i love you
