My Mom is a quilter so I do get some rather beautiful handmade gifts but we have no potters in the family.

I’d be interested in a yarn ball holder. It’s beautiful. You sure had a great Christmas. Such a talented family!

And I am another knitter who would buy a ceramic yarn keeper from your mom if she ever decides to make them for sale.

Especially when there’s so much talent! I run an Arts Council in rural Canada and tried to support our local artists by buying handmade this Christmas.

LOVE John’s table! Would be perfect at our place ;)

And I went on a tour today, learning how to make pottery and was totally inspired by your mum’s yarn ball! Took inspiration from the design to carve into one of my plates.

She’s firing some fairly soon and if the glaze is nice maybe…. I’ll be sure to post it if she’s selling them.

Love the yarn holder, especially. Could be a market for that lovely creation!

How do you get the yarn into the ceramic ball? Is it two half-spheres, or is there an open bottom? What a great Christmas exchange, too. Wish I had such a crafty family, but I have to settle for being the sole handmade gift giver…
