my weekend - tile decorating at HEATH

I don't know who this guy is.
This sunday I went with a friend to Open Studio at Heath Ceramics in San Francisco to paint a tile. It was fun to be creative and I'm excited to see how it turns out after their fire them later this month.
They provided us with a simple, blank tile, about 6x6" and lots of fun things to use as stencils.

While the dots didn't really turn out how I expected them to, I think they look cool, though who knows how it will turn out once fired. With a couple rubber pads on the bottom with should make a great trivet.

I have loved their beautiful ceramics since I went to their studio in Sausalito for a tour, where they show you how much care and attention they put into their products. If you are ever in the Bay Area I highly recommend checking out one of their multiple show rooms, or at least visit their site to see their dishes.

Other things I've been up to

While I love to read, I love to do a bunch of other things also, and have been keeping myself pretty busy this month. Here is some Instagram evidence of my other hobbies.

I hosted a brunch for some friends, and made them mugs...

and some body scrub.

I have been working on a new triangle quilt. This will be the largest quilt 
I have made, and I love the fabric. It's excited to see it coming together

Fitting some reading in while fueling myself at Starbucks.

Got a bunch of books at the library today. Thank goodness for my bike shelf!
