    So happy to see you again. Many years ago I too found the difficulty in starting apottery business. As a business owner please take a tip from me. Remember to delegate your work load to your employees. Doing pottery is a joy as long as you gave the time. I found myself not enjoying the artistry when I was so busy. No matter what make sure you set aside some of your tasks to do your artistry. If that means hiring more people and letting go to trust them, do that. The 10 years I was in business was amazing and draining because I wanted all the control for everything. Being designed in business is difficult. I have faith in you and I am happy for all your success. Your friend in the USA.

      I meant being disciplined in managing your time for all things.

    • @ShelbySherritt
      @ShelbySherritt  2 месяца назад +31

      That has actually been the mission for me, to let go of tasks and trust and faith they will be done with the same passion and dedication. It’s taken some time but I’ve found some lovely locals who have the same level of perfectionism as I do. But also a dedication and love for this! It’s been part of the reason I’ve felt so inspired lately to come back! Knowing they are essentially a copy of me in the studio has been the break I’ve needed to come back to RUclips!

  • @hellskells26
    @hellskells26 2 месяца назад +126

    Welcome back. Glad you were away because it’s all busy and amazing. I’m sure your 6 new staff are stoked to be part of it all.

    • @ShelbySherritt
      @ShelbySherritt  2 месяца назад +14

      Thank you 😭 this comments section was totally unexpected! I thought it was going to be crickets! Thank you soooo much!! I’m just as thrilled with my staff members as they are to be here I think 💕💝

      @khills 2 месяца назад +6

      ⁠@@ShelbySherritt Wow, six employees! Did you ever imagine that you’d be a manager as well as creator when you started all of this? (My impression is absolutely not. 😂) And absolutely, congratulations. Watching you flourish has been such a joy and privilege over the past couple of years. So happy you’re back to take us on the journey with you!)
      (Also, I just got back from three weeks in Australia - visiting family, mostly, tho we did a sneaky just the two of us trip to see the Reef before all the family stuff began - and we tried SO hard to work in a trip to Ballarat, but Victoria just wasn’t in the cards this time around, since we were there (and in Ballarat!) the last trip. So I absolutely will be there in 2026, and cannot wait to watch and see what the Pottage grows into in the meantime!)

    Shelby we don’t need a grand ol’ video. We just like seeing what you are up to and hearing your sweet voice. I’m SO happy that the Pottage is doing so well for you.
    P.S. Absolutely love your quilt coat! I’m in the process of making quilt panels to make myself a coat in time for North American winter. ❤

    • @ShelbySherritt
      @ShelbySherritt  2 месяца назад +4

      @ShelbySherritt  2 месяца назад +10

      Thank you so much! I know I don’t need to apologise but I was also getting some very lovely worried comments about where I was! I really wanted to only jump on when I was ready to start doing weekly videos again 💝 I can’t wait to share all the goodies with you!

    • @ShelbySherritt
      @ShelbySherritt  2 месяца назад +2

      Oh my gosh. Yes. It’s hard to believe what passion and a dedication to this craft has led too! Thank you so much for this reminder. I have screenshot your comment as my little reminder to keep on going and to inspire other artists to push through those moments of doubt!

    @katieburrows7245 2 месяца назад +55

    so glad to see you back! I've been (not so) patiently waiting for your amazing content to be back but knew opening the Pottage would have been a massive task.
    Look after yourself as you continue to find your balance.

    • @ShelbySherritt
      @ShelbySherritt  2 месяца назад +7

      Thank you so much Katie!! I’m so grateful for you all! It’s only been a massive task because you have all made it such a huge success with me. Thank you so so much for that! It means the world to me!

    @Creativelicense459 2 месяца назад +4

    Shelby! I don’t even know you and I’m so happy that you’ve grown from a home potter to a full-on business woman with a staff of 6. I found you on TikTok in the very beginning of the mystery molds and it’s inspiring to see where you are now.
    Don’t forget to put yourself first, especially now that you’re running a business and juggling a lot!

  • @Cutondogor
    @Cutondogor 2 месяца назад +19

    Confession - I needed to watch this twice because the first time, I was madly looking out for my quokka mug! But yes, there's two ways a new project can become a problem. One is obviously failure, and I'm glad that didn't happen, but the second is by becoming popular like this and taking up all your time! So glad you're taking time for yourself. Now, I think I need to make a booking for the Pottage some time in September, to do things for the family for Christmas 🙂

    • @ShelbySherritt
      @ShelbySherritt  2 месяца назад +2

      Did you see it!?? I think this was around when you came in!
      I am so grateful it was the latter, rather than scrambling around a failed project. Although failure is always learning.
      Thank you for bringing cake to share with everyone when you came in! My staff haven’t stopped talking about how lovely and kind that was!! ❤

    Nice to see you back on RUclips! I missed your videos, but I already suspected that you have had your hands full of work with the pottage. Seven day work weeks are no joke, please don't stress yourself out over making videos and take care of yourself. I'm sure we can all live with fewer/shorter/less effort videos if it means you get to rest! ❤
    I'm happy to see what ever you decide to do. 😊

    Hi. You are actually the reason that I learned that you can put a mother of pearl coating on pottery. I watched a RUclips short of you doing that and was incredibly impressed. It was one of the most beautiful things I've seen pottery wise this year. You are quite talented. I just wanted to state the obvious by saying that. And I want to thank you for sharing that information with us on RUclips. 😊❤

There is a tremendous amount of work starting a new business so it's understandable that your channel had to take a back seat, but you were definitely missed. My first thought, watching you load and unload the kiln was..."Shelby needs a larger kiln". Hopefully that will happen sooner than later. Looking forward to another mystery mold reveal.

    It sounds like the business is going great! Owning your own business is so much work, for sure.
