Pottery and pressie

This morning I walked up to Freeport and the pottery as usual. Rob said Caroline wasn’t coming  to the pottery until later but she had said that I could do some clay without her, so she obviously has confidence in me. I did make some trinket trays which will be fired and put on the shelves in the shop as items to paint. I did make a couple more after I took the photo as worked with Caroline when she arrived.
The gingerbread house I painted a couple of weeks ago was put as a simple today.
When I went outside to go to the loo I thought the bush behind the giant spider at Bugtopia was lovely and colourful.
Caroline gave me a lift home and I went for a walk to the mere to do a sketch. It was a chilly day but sketch.
I called in at Botany Boutique on the way back as Sher Sid she had made me a kokedama with a hyacinth in. She had used one of a set of dishes that I had bought for her at the boot sale a while ago.
Quiet evening, have a section of jigsaw to do and started writing my Christmas cards last night.

    I like those little trinket trays. Specially the one in the top right. It’s good that you can make them yourselves. All adds a bit more to the profits. The gingerbread house is beautiful! I love it. I’m sure people will want to do one when they see that. Think I want one myself 🙂
    The sketch is very nice again. You do find some really nice subjects.
    I have no idea what a kokedama is, but it looks good. The hyacinth will smell good too once it’s in flower. I wish I had more luck with plants and didn’t always kill them!
    How many Christmas cards is it this year? I think you keep Royal Mail afloat 🙂

    I like making the clay items, but I don’t finish them off a well s Caroline, practice makes refectory though, maybe! Caroline and Rob both liked the fact that I had gone for the different colour for the roof of the gingerbread house.
    A kokedama is a plant or bulb wrapped in a ball of soil with moss mired round it, I did a class with her months ago and I have a plant still growing nicely in it. Needs a lot of attention though as it dries very quickly.
