Pots, Boots and A Poem

09 Nov

I collected the ten pots I made on my 5 weeks of throwing classes. These are the six I am most pleased with.

Very good friends are about to become Grandparents again so I have made some Sally-Boots for the new Grandbaby. In the photo they look black and white but are navy and cream. You can see the ones I made for the first Grandchild in this post. I have used the same wool that I used for Ti as you can read in that post. Now I’ve seen them, I like the white bows better so am going to change the ones you can see here.

I love the advice in this poem. I have shared it before but it’s a good reminder for us all.

P.S.

      The poem really suits my philosophy! I saw a cartoon once about choosing reading over housework – Oh, yes, I thought! 🙂

    The pots are lovely, well done! And I love that poem. I am having a new shower room and the dust is everywhere, but I am simply ignoring it for now!

      Thank you. I enjoyed what my adventure fund bought me and have the pots to prove it! . It’s not worth even thinking about dusting when work is being done. You have to wait until it’s finished and then a bit longer while it settles and by then it’ll probably have all blown away. I hope so! 🙂

      Lovely to hear from you. It has been fun learning how to throw and decorate pots but glass making is still my preferred craft and I have got back to that recently and made an angel last week with a sea-glass head – so lovely.
      Love to you,
      Sally x
