Hope you’re having a great day with family or friends… or just outside enjoying the Spring weather!!! We did a family get-together and my niece Taylor made these yummy “birds nests” with marshmallows, peanut butter & Cadbury chocolate eggs!!! Perfect on a spring green platter!!!

Last night was the start of a new session with my Beginner Wheel students at Lillstreet.
Great fun… and a “sweet” start with new OREO flavors imported from New Zealand.
Thanks Kaitlin!!!


Plus… I also had my first TimTam!!! Which apparently is “a thing” Down Under?
But these were extra yummy… as they were the special caramel version!!!

Spring is in the air… which also means DREAM HUT is open again!
And we celebrated with yummy ice cream & a beautiful sunset!

Although it does look like their sign could use a little help?!

Okay… one last piece… after all it is still NATIONAL PI… err, PIE DAY for another half hour!!!
And food always tastes better on handmade pottery.

Well, it’s NATIONAL PIe DAY… originally for the math-nerds what with the 3.141592 and all?! I’m awfully glad it has been expanded to PIE… with an E!!! I’m a tried & true Cherry pie fan!!! But when a little Triple Berry shows up in the mix… how is one to choose??? And why should I?… after all, today is a National Holiday!!!

This is our final week of classes for the Winter session at Lillstreet… and we like to celebrate with a group potluck. And if you bake a double batch of brownies… you can bring them to both Monday & Tuesday night classes.
Yes… voice of experience!!!


My friend Kristen was at some random “soup contest” over the weekend… and spotted one of my “not-so-basic bowls” right next to a crock pot?! I love seeing my pots living out there in the wild!!! Thanks for sharing Kristen!
