.Time.Flies.
I moved into my space one year ago. !!!
Time.
Flies.
I have made some amazing connections in the ceramic, creative, and business community in Chicago since I got the keys to my Ravenswood Corridor studio.
A lot has changed too.
I am working with stoneware more then porcelain. Something I did not foresee...but it is more effecient in a space that fluctuates in temperature are much as mine does.
And..most of all..
I AM PREGNANT.
30 weeks.
A lil'lady named Josephine Parker Ames will be born in September. She will be the ninth Josephine in the Smith (Mortimer's mothers maiden name) family tree. She will be known as Parker..which is an Ames' family name (for instance..Mortimer's middle name).
So, along with finalizing my ceramic line and getting ready to ship out my "look-books"...
I have been busy doing baby research, nanny search, professional studio cleaning service search (and sealed)...endless list...
...SOO MUCH MOM STUFF.
...I'm SOOO tired today.

“Pots are the communication between the person who makes them and the person who uses them.” Warren Mackenzie
1:11-3:00 is something I need to hear in my head everyday in the studio.

.I have a Confession.
I find great inspiration from...
FASHION.
In high school and college my rooms were covered in fanciful photographs from Vogue.
Grace Coddington's genius as a Fashion Editor spoke to me as a young lady stuck in the hills of West Virginia. She allowed me to escape reality with the imagery she created with the help of her creative team.

I have watched the Diana Vreeland documentary "The Eye Has to Travel" almost everyday.
...Just randomly...
I place my Ipad near while doing laundry, dishes, and domestic diddies.
Simply, I find strong and creative individuals truly energizing.
