I was perusing craftster.org and I came across an image that looked pretty familiar …
Except the totally cute spoon … so cute!
Somebody on craftster.org saw my work and was inspired to create a few cups of her own. So exciting!
A fellow craftster just blogged about my gorgeous yellow water pitcher and some of my other ceramics in the craftster.org blog. I’m really flattered. You should check it out!
It’s not often that I get press, so I’m pretty excited about this.
It’s been a really long time since I’ve painted dishes. I quit for a while a few months back because I have a pretty large inventory and it was taking up most of my kitchen. However, a few of my girls and I were antiquing one day and I found some really great dishes that [...]
I’ve got a TON of stuff I have to do this weekend! It’s crazy, but I’m staying in and getting it done!
I’ve got a couple of paying freelance projects so I’m going to blow their minds and try to get a chunk of work done on them this weekend (one of them that’s not [...]
It’s been a while since I painted dishes, and I am not really feeling the groove. Regardless, here’s some new dishes. This is a set of 8. 14″ plates and 9″ bowls. I was given this set at the last Market Day by a friend of Steph’s.

I recently participated in a heavy metal swap on craftster.org. This was the first organized craft swap I’ve done through the site, and I think it turned out pretty well.

Yes.. yes… I bought a spot.. not the same as being featured. And they randomly rotate them out… but still, when I clicked the front page of the ceramics feature on Etsy today, I saw this:
Um yeah… top right hand corner? Yeah. that’s me.
I thought I [...]
I recently marked down a LOT of items on my etsy shop for an Independence Day Sale. I decided to extend the sale into a summer sale.
As always, shipping to Des Moines and Ames is free. Just contact me before buying so I can adjust the shipping price and arrange a drop-off/pickup.
Here are [...]
Today is the big day! Time to pick a winner for the ceramics giveaway.
Since I know most everybody who posted comments, I was worried that if I picked somebody I knew, I’d be biased…but it’s a random number generator, right? Right. So to be even more random, I decided I’d hit the [...]
Although I have had kind of a crappy Saturday so far, my friend @CatRocketship did send me a photo of the mugs I made for their wedding gift back in April. I didn’t take photos of them before I gave them to them, so I’ve been waiting for a while for a picture…and here it [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
