Pretty excited about these tomato rattles I just pulled out of their first firing.

Watching GBBO. I miss Prue, but also the only opinion I care about at all is Nigella’s. I’m living for Nigella, this is the Great Nigella Bake Off now.

I put a couple books on hold at the library. Popular books, guesstimating by my spot in the queue I figured I’d have WEEKS and maybe even MONTHS for one of them, but of course they all showed up this week I have no time omg

There’s something very satisfying about filling a bunch of tiny dishes with beads.

I’ve been working very long hours to restock for my next two markets and I’m very tired. Today, I took advantage of an absolutely gorgeous afternoon to sit in the park and play solitaire with my new purse cards. I didn’t win.
A very cute game of solitaire with a deck of mini playing cards featuring a purple opossum, on a green park picnic table with the long shadows of late afternoon.

Just gave this little old lady her medicated eye goop and she was such a Good Girl so I promised her I would spread the word.

I had to take it down again recently for a birthday party of 10-11yos (mostly because they ask a lot of questions I don’t want to answer) but having this guy on the wall in my dining room has been one of my great achievements in life.

It’s important to me that, if you decide to write a book, you know that if your character is documenting something, the phrase is: “for posterity” not “for prosperity”. These two words are not interchangeable. This is not an example of the English language evolving, it’s just incorrect. Ok thx!

a portion of today’s book haul: 3 dungeon crawler Carl books that are not actually the one I need 🤷‍♀️ Not pictured: - Wilder Girls by Rory Power - Burn our Bodies Down by Rory Power (Two very good books with very good covers that I have already read and am trying to get the kiddo to read)
A stack of books by Matt Dinniman: 

A parade of horribles
The gate of the feral gods
The butcher’s masquerade.

Friends. It’s more important than ever that we shop locally this season, especially heading into the holidays. Between trade wars and EU regulations a lot of small businesses are hurting real bad. Me at my market table last weekend for attention.

I will always take a moment to rave about these pens when I can, but especially because it’s Dan’s birthday (and tho I personally think we should be paying MORE on someone’s birthday, not less) he’s got a sale running!

Took the kiddo to see Gibran Alcocer last night and it was pretty lovely I must say.

My least favourite part of outdoor markets: washing the grime off everything.
The bums of a whole counter-full of ceramic bits and bobs, drying on towels.

Cabbagetown this weekend was amazing. My booth packed down into these 4 totes, the tent bag, and some random nonsense, and it made me just a little sad, even tho I was very tired and needed to go home and not talk to anyone else for a week.

Not to be a buzzkill, because I enjoy some good wordplay more than the average bookworm, but MRSA (and other antibiotic resistant bacteria) is terrifying, 48 kids (small people with vulnerable immune systems) is a massive outbreak and it’s really…not funny. At all.

Such a good market day today! I’m exhausted, but had a great day people and dog watching and had so many good conversations. Both of these little trophies are gone now and I hope they are going to put a smile on some faces in their new homes.

I did an interview earlier in the week…and I was just sent to a website with a series of dropdown menus with questions to choose from and it left a really bad taste in my mouth. I do like being able to type my responses because I’m prone to rambling, but it would be nice if they were tailored to me.

At more than 1/2 through now and having trouble putting it down! I’d say it’s definitely entertaining and worth reading if you enjoy a dungeon crawl even just a little bit. Easy read too, not mentally taxing. Would be a great palate cleanser between heavier reads.

I started reading Dungeon Crawler Carl yesterday. I’m not far enough in to tell you whether or not it lives up to the hype yet, but I will tell you this: it’s an easy read, it’s very entertaining and I’m having trouble putting it down to do life stuff, I’m having a good time.

I took these out of the kiln this morning. I made them almost a year ago and have been sitting on them because I couldn’t get over painting them blue and I didn’t think they would sell if they were blue. Then I decided I don’t fucking care. See them at Cabbagetown art and craft show this weekend

My final thought as I’ve just read the very last page: this book makes me angry. But not in the way you think. I’m angry in the same way that I get angry when I see the premise of a book and get excited but then I read it and am disappointed and feel like the author fumbled a good idea.

Britt Wilson @britterson.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Just got through the bit where he manically, almost rabidly goes on and on about Goodnight Moon, a book I found unforgivably boring as a child and as an adult can see some merit in, but honestly still think of as boring and overrated.

I left some clay water on my porch to settle out so I could reclaim the sludge in the bottom. But then the storm happened and tossed them around. The porch is covered in porcelain clay muck and the raccoons have been having fun with it.

Borrowed the accurséd writing kids books for adults book from the library and started reading it a couple days ago. The wild thing is that the author isn’t necessarily wrong about much, but is either out of touch, or willfully obtuse and has a serious case of foot-in-mouth disease.

I bought low fire earthenware clay ages ago and finally made time to make some planters! I love them so much and they are the perfect size to pop some cute succulents in. The more porous earthenware pulls extra moisture from the soil, making it harder to overwater your succulents and cacti!

Dude they have gotta stop vibe-coding this app. It’s nearly unusable today? Have they forgotten that the keyboard exists on the phone app? Things keep disappearing behind it with no means of being seen by me. I can’t type a whole post that is under the keyboard! It’s gonna be nonsense!!

Ok so I’d love to put alt-text on this video, but I can’t because the alt-text button is currently UNDER the keyboard on my screen and I can’t actually tap it. So uh, it’s a video of a ceramic strawberry that is also a bell, but it’s not fired yet so it makes very quiet clunking sounds.

Another pro (cheating) Outlier tip that I’ll just give you for free, flip to the index in the back of any of Shakespeare’s plays and you’ll find a glut of super rare words. Also bug names. Not a lot of entomologists playing (just etymologists) apparently.

I really hate guilt-trip based marketing, and I have unfollowed and often blocked people who do it regularly. But given certain current events (see trade war, US vs Canada) my ability to make a living selling my work online is over. Patreon is a great way to support artists through this nightmare.
