Been getting a lot of scam voicemails lately and decided to start reporting the numbers.

Alas…

I’ll never be famous, but the owner of my local boba tea shop will see me enter a room full of customers and immediately grab the drink she knows I ordered for pickup, and that’s all the fame I need.

I just tag along with my studio right now, but we can sign up for the same market sometime and venture into the world together.

I earned $95 and a sandwich selling pottery this weekend so… I’m basically a professional now. 💅🏻

Reviews: I promise I don’t hate cozy games, but Tales of the Shire is boring and there’s nothing to do!

Me: Time to start my Hobbit day by waving at every farm animal, just cause I can…

I am delighted every time I remember that hobby horsing is a thing. I salute you, horse girls that didn’t grow up with horse money.

I’m convinced that wedge salads were invented just to prove that rich people will pay for anything. Now we all suffer from that travesty taking up a perfectly good salad slot on menus.

I love making those jars so there will be more!

I accept no responsibility for anything that happens in the kiln.

Favorite things I made in May:
- A jar that cracked in the bisque kiln and had to be chucked
- A mug that cracked in the glaze kiln and had to be chucked
- A mini vase that collapsed on the wheel but looked cute so I’m calling it a sculpture

Happy 3rd birthday to my sweet Lady.

She went from a rambunctious puppy my friends called “the terrorist” to the most amazing, friendly, intelligent, well-behaved dog I could ever ask for. ❤️

When someone criticizes American war crimes, I don’t claim they’re being anti-white or anti-Christian as a defense. 🤔 Weird.

The #UnitedKingdom getting zero points is my favorite #Eurovision tradition.

If you ever wanted to know how the US electoral college feels, it’s kinda like the #Eurovision jury vote.

I have a very specific gag reflex that only appears when a dude starts playing an acoustic guitar and singing. #Portugal #Eurovision

#Malta is giving me everything I wanted for this song. Is it a winner? No. Is it serving exactly as intended? Absolutely. #Eurovision

I don’t understand the words, but #Switzerland would be playing in the background while I fall in love, then I’d listen to it on repeat in my car while ugly crying after the breakup. #Eurovision
