Monday morning with ceramics and green tea


ceramics by gretchen gretchen


This week will be the last one when we have an evening ceramic class. But it will begin in September again. That's great! I have made quite many small things there and above you can see - very very practical thing - ceramic coffee/tea filter holder. Originally it's for coffee but I tried it with tea and with a little bit slower method it worked quite well. I don't like too strong tea so works for me. I saw striped one in Pinterest so I had to try it also. What do you think?

The other thing which has been in my mind so much lately is garden. This week I should make some planting. I really should that seeds have time to grow enough before moving out. But this spring has been so weird - yesterday it was snowing again, so one just have to wait for bare ground...

I also have borrowed some garden books from library and going today to get one book more. I should also order few seeds still. This year I really liked to have a great herb and salad garden. As you can see I feel a little bit anxious about garden.  My favorite is also tomatoes because they just taste so much better when you can pick them up straight from your garden. Have you planted already? Do you have big or small plans about your garden? Or great tips?

    1. Thanks, but bot sure what you mean but inside the mug by Lovisa Burfitt is written "today I am a bird" that you can see in the pic.

  2. Ah, and a familiar book on the table. Realized after reading it that our garden has been maintained for years biodynamically without knowing (except for the astro-calendar part..)

  3. I really like your filter holder - and the photos. But can't help you with your garden. Not exactly one of my talents... I can't even keep the plants in our apartment alive. I don't know why, but I'm the only one in my family (for generations) who doesn't know how to deal with plants. Even my 3 year old is much better at it!

    1. Thanks, Lena! Well, I have to admit that I've also been a killer with plants...like 3 orchids etc. But learning...

    1. Hi Mette!
      Thank you, thank you - you know it took time to do that filter. I've noticed that when you just don't give up and you are thinking I can...you can do quite many things :)
      Lovely day to you too!
