MaryMakesDinner: My sister and fellow newbie Potter, @scissorina has been telling me how satisfying it is to use something in the kitchen that you made yourself. I finally started using one of my bowls and she was so right!! I predict that my Ikea dishes' days are numbere
MaryMakesDinner: I just got my hands on a huge stash of ceramics molds from a retired doll maker. Things are about to get weird over here (and I love it). #dollparts #ceramicsculpture #pottersofinstagram #makingart #arteveryday #theseartfuldays #atxartist
MaryMakesDinner: I added a handful of ceramics to my @etsy shop today! You can find the link in my profile if you want to check them out. There are two planters and two jewelry dishes. Hoping to add more soon! #handmadecrafts #instaceramics #pottersofinstagram #plantlady
MaryMakesDinner: Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault ...................................................., I feel sick today, so I'm going to a place I don't often go in this space. It's a very heavy topic, but with things as they are I feel like my silence equals complicity.

MaryMakesDinner: I asked Charlie what we should put on the new shelf in our living room and he suggested a unicorn. So this is my attempt at a low-volume knick knack in unicorn form. What do you think? Too silly for the living room? Too mellow for a unicorn? Or did I get
MaryMakesDinner: When I was in my early twenties my doctor noticed that my thyroid felt enlarged. It took me weeks to find an endocrinologist and it was months before an ultrasound and biopsy revealed a number for benign nodules hanging out in my throat. Surgery was recom
MaryMakesDinner: Good morning, world. This little peanut is the sweetest, most happy and cuddly little baby ever. It's awfully nice getting to soak up all the uniterrupted baby snuggles while her brother is at school. For the sake of our bank account I should really start
MaryMakesDinner: I started my third session of ceramics at @doughertyartscenter today and it was as glorious as ever. Now that making art for the sake of art has become a regular part of my life again I can see how valuable creativity is to self-care. I spend most of my d
MaryMakesDinner: Because showing up is half the battle. Ive found this to be true in so many aspects of my life. I'm a better writer, a better mother, a better artist, partner, friend, gardener when I commit to being fully there in the moment. It's not just about putting
MaryMakesDinner: Hey there. It's me, Mary Helen. Today I'm sharing 5 random facts about me for #meetmemonday910 😉 How many surprise you? 1️⃣ I am one of four daughters. I was the middle kid for nine years before my baby sister @basic_human_needs was born. 2️⃣ I l

MaryMakesDinner: Kiddo is at his first full day of Pre-K 4, baby is napping, and Mama is back to work!! I know it's a cliche but for a minute there I really did not know what do with myself after putting Sid down for her nap. I went with shooting photos for @naturalbeauty
MaryMakesDinner: Do you have any daily habits that you use to help life feel a little more pleasant? I try to make my bed every day, no matter what else is going on. Even if the rest of the house looks insane, I know there are about 40 square feet of order behind my bedro
MaryMakesDinner: I feel like it's been way too long since art was an everyday part of my life and I am SO ready to bring that back. // I've spent the last ten or so years working in a full time creative job, but it's time for a new goal. I want to be a full time artist. I
MaryMakesDinner: Do you keep any little affirmations around your house? I made this daily reminder for our bedroom. I’m a messy painter, but I feel like that fits well with this statement. The quote comes from #misterrogers 🐯🚋🏡 I saw it used
MaryMakesDinner: We’ve been working on our master bathroom for over two years. Yeah, slowest diy update ever. But we are finally in the home stretch. Here’s a little sneak peek at the most finished part. (Shower still needs grout, fixtures and a door!) I’m debating a back
MaryMakesDinner: I don’t remember where I first heard this saying, but I love it just the same. Creativity begets creativity. The more you make, the more you have, so share away. Giving creates abundance. 💕 #arteveryday #arteverywhere #sharethelove #shareideas
MaryMakesDinner: She’s already started to laugh and play and make her desires and intentions known. Her smiles and squeaks get bigger everyday, and the thing I hear most from strangers is that she seems older than 2 months. 😜 Did it really go

MaryMakesDinner: Thanks to a well-timed baby nap, Charlie and I were able to carve out a little early evening art session. We got covered in paint and it was glorious. Can you tell I’ve been crushing hard on @ettavee? My handiwork doesn’t quite compare but I find her use
