Here’s some stuff I’ve made lately. Thumbnails are for pussies!

Orange Chicken. This is another of my favorite dishes from
The Chinese Kitchen.
Kitchen Curtains. These I just made on the fly with my new sewing machine. Pretty dark green gingham to go with the green trim in my kitchen. I’m hoping the color keeps these from looking too kitschy.

Wavy Scarf for my Mom. This was her Christmas present and it took FOREVER to make. I used Idena Bamboo…that stuff’s the best yarn EV4R. Durable yet soft. Splits like a mutha, but it’s a joy to have sliding through your fingers and it’s worth it for the end result.
And now, for some pots. I think I’ve only posted one pot here before. Here are the pots I’ve made that I’m more or less proud of:


This one I gave to my brother-in-law for Christmas. I think it’s the best pot I’ve ever made, so I hope he damn well appreciates it. :Þ

This was my favorite pot before the one above. It was one of the first pots I made.

This pot I gave to my in-laws for Christmas, with a gift card inside informing them that we’d donated an XO in their name. No, you’re really not supposed to throw pots with this coarse clay.

These were originally meant to be a set of three, but one of them split during firing. Pain teaches: I learned to cut out the slabs for only one pot at a time. I still like ‘em as just a pair; they’re sitting out on my kitchen counter.

Another of my first pots. This one I sent to my Uncle Scott.

Chun glaze experimentation.
Another pot.

This one sits in the hand so nicely. I gave to to HansO because he likes dark red.

Another very early pot. A gift to my in-laws.

Sadly, it seems like the best pots I made were the post I made a long time ago.
In the future, I’ll try to be better about posting pictures as I finish things as opposed to posting them all in one big glut.

I'm a 31 year old American expat living in Oslo, Norway, with my bulldog, Ada, and my husband, Johannes. My interests include interaction design, especially information architecture, philosophy of mind and ethics, cognitive psychology, sociobiology, feminism, yoga, fat acceptance, knitting, pottery, and cooking.
Hey Sarah, You’re quite the domestic diva, aren’t you?

Ah, but I can only dream of having a house as nicely decorated as yours. You need to come here and fix mine up for me!
Is pot legal in Norway? Here in Oklahoma we’d have you locked up for manufacturing that stuff.
Sorry, my corny sense of humor couldn’t resist.
Well, I should be locked up for the many times I’ve tortured and verbally assaulted and murdered my clay, that’s for sure. Those pots I don’t show on my blog.
