I sorted the pieces for the edge of the map of the world jigsaw last night. As the pieces are all plain blue or white I just about did one edge and found that I had missed one of the white edge pieces. It is a 1000 piece jigsaw so quite a lot of edge pieces to find. This morning Colonel still seems fine, which is good, hopefully he will stay that way for a while now. I caught the bus and went into the studio. They were quite busy today, which is great for them, I had spotted a crown shaped trinket box which I thought Isobel would like so spent a couple of hours painting one as they are doing an extra firing tonight. I just used two colours, the purple and a sparkly yellow. I haven't really used the sparkly under glazes much.

I will be able to collect it tomorrow afternoon or on Saturday morning. It had looked a lovely day from inside but actually was bitterly cold when I went for the bus, mainly due to the biting wind. When I left the studio it looked like a snowy sky, but it soon cleared and became bright again.

This afternoon I have watched quite a bit of House and have completed the edging of the jigsaw, apart from the one white piece which I will find when I start doing the actual map. I am quite looking forward to doing it and maybe improving my geography at the same time!
