Practice makes perfect, maybe!

This morning I got the twelfth box of the advent calendar jigsaw out and I couldn’t work out why the few edge pieces didn’t all fit. Found when I had finished thar there were two pieces the same and one piece missing.
Tina had a massage booked this morning and after that we were going up to the pottery. Tina was going to paint and I was hoping to do some clay work with Caroline. She had messaged last night to ask if I would do a workshop with a mother and son on Saturday. They wanted to make little fairy houses, which I haven’t done. So we both made one with a Caroline telling me what I needed to do at each stage. A picture of the two together and then two separate shots. Hers is much more involved than mine but she has built lots of different things.
Mine is the bee house in case you were in any doubt!
Before Caroline arrived I had painted a coaster using a tool rather than a paintbrush for the lettering.
I walked home and bought a white poinsettia from Botany on the way. That provided my sketch material for today.
Pandora is on my lap, off to the vets again tomorrow.  ðŸ˜¬ðŸ˜¬ðŸ˜¬

  1. That’s not good with the puzzle pieces. Hope you don’t get any more like that. I hope you’re going to contact the manufacturer. They might send you a box full of jigsaw puzzles 😂
    To be honest, and I’m not just saying it, I prefer your bee house. There’s lots of detail on the house itself, including the door which I like and I think the bees on the roof are soooo cute 😊 I can remember doing the coasters and tiles when we used to do it in Peterborough. You’ve got a much steadier hand than me and definitely buckets more artistic talent 🙂 Having commented then about your artistic talent on the clay work and painting I then scrolled down to a lovely sketch. I rest my case 😊
    Hope Pandora doesn’t get too stressed tomorrow, and you and the Rev!

  2. I quite enjoyed making the house and at lest I know the procedure now, I will get to paint it once it is dried and bisque fired, presuming it comes out of the kiln safely.
    Didn’t take my sketch book with me so it was lucky I bought the poinsettia on the way home. Crossing everything that Pandora isn quite so stressed today.
