I have had a really pleasant day, but it won't take up a lot of blog space! I went up to the ceramic studio just after 10 am and painted a big ornament that I had on one side, and also a pot with a daffodil on top that I selected yesterday. Very quiet in there today, so nice chats with Sandy and Donna and about 5 hours of painting!
The pig was from another potter and a one off, as was the pot. One patch on the pig would not accept the paint, so after a bit of sanding and more layers it is covered, but I am just hoping that it stays covered in the firing. When I came home I topped up the bird feeders, the stand was listing rather alarmingly, tried to prop it with more slabs, but with gale force winds forecast again tonight I am not holding my breath! Having a break and then may do a bit more jigsaw.......

    I like both of those, the pig in particular is quite cute.

    Maybe next time I'm there it would be a good idea to concrete a post into the ground to attach the bird feeder to.

      I did say to Tina earlier that if it went down again I would get you to concrete it in, although at the moment I am worried the actual pole will snap!

    Concrete a tall wooden post in, then attach the pole to the side of it, that way nearly all the stress is on the wood.
