Woohoo! By George I think she's got it ;)
Pen that is a truly fantastic post!!!!
What a lovely evening you had!....a well deserved one too I'm sure!.....I've been looking at your ceramics online. They're absolutely lovely!.....I think they're worth FAR more than you're selling them at. What a creative lady you are!...have a good day love.
I don't think that people realise what goes into making them..it's a long process and a lot of work.
Yes I think that most of my ceramics are actually sold at cost.
This is getting scary... posting in here again!!!
Had a busy morning taking H to x-ray, coffee in costa, trip round Asda, pickup cats meds then home. Had a lovely class this afternoon and then retreated to the studio den and did some oil painting, cooked myself salmon with pea risotto and then settled down with a real fire and candles and watched (yes actually watched, no computer, no drawing) a film and then a TV show I had recorded......
Oh no, what has H done?
You've done a huge amount! I'm so thrilled that you have taken some time out. Well done lovely.
Is H ok?
H is fine. She managed to pull three muscles in her left shoulder whilst picking up a coffee cup with her right... go figure that one out! She was in so much pain that we went to the doc who sent her for an x ray. She is getting much better now though so I dont think that anything is actually broken.
Ouch!
Ouch! Poor H!
Well I could get used to this chilling out stuff! Had a day of printing christmas cards out followed by an evening of dinner and some pastel drawing with my friend... Dont want to go back to work tomorrow!!
That's a brilliant post! Thrilled for you!
I have been paid the highest compliment. My friends daughter was asked at school to write about "her hero" and chose me. She said that my patience with teaching art and pottery as well as gaining my degree was an inspiration and that she would like to have a job like mine one day. (blush)
Awwww so sweet ..... and so very true
She is right! You are amazing!
Brilliant Pen and so true.
What a wonderful compliment!!.....you deserve it. You're fantastic at what you do.xx
I have just been interviewed and filmed for a group called Humans of Weston....
That sounds rather exciting!
I suspect I have made a complete idiot of myself!! When the video gets posted I will let you all see it!!
I can't see you making and idiot of yourself at all!
We shall see. Not sure if today was a positive really but it was not a down day either. I have really got back into painting, this is a bad thing really as its taking me away from my ceramics!! but I am having a great time playing with oil paint. I currently have three paintings on the go as oil paint takes so long to dry that you have to sometimes wait days before you can continue work on a painting. This evening I was planning a quiet night in my upstairs den painting but it was interrupted when my friend who was taking the class in the studio below came to get an easel then fell down the stairs. She was very shook up and hurt, her hubby who is a Dr thinks she has cracked a rib. I am very upset for her but also of course I am now a man down in the studio team till she heals up.
Oh no! Your poor friend! I Hope it's not too painful...
Glad you're enjoying your painting!
Oh ouch, poor love. Are you ok, lovely?
Yes I'm fine just upset that she fell on my stairs and been beating myself up that maybe it was my fault in some way. I am also a bit concerned about how I will manage. She runs the art class every Wednesday evening so I will have to take that over plus she is also a second pair of hands at the blind group on a Friday afternoon. I have a chap who comes with cerebral palsy who needs a lot of support and is very demanding so she has been working with him whilst I look after the member who is totally blind.
Is there any way H could help?
Sorry to hear that Pen!.....could you cancel any of the appointments?...they'd probably fully understand considering the circumstances.
Not sure at the moment whether I should be posting in the negative or positive of my posts!
I am flying as high as kite atm though. I have just made my first sale on Etsy. I have sold a highland bull to someone in the Scottish Highlands of all places!!
On another note I am waiting for hubby to come by and have a cuppa. He has been with his brother in hospital. M seems to be OK but they are going to operate tonight to assess how bad things are.
Well done on your sale! That's brilliant news! Glad that M is in the right place. Hope Hubby gets some rest...
Its been a good day today. Went to the opticians and will get two new pairs of glasses for a fraction of what I thought I would have to pay. Had a lovely coffee with my daughter, went and visited a friends shop (which I have been meaning to do for months) and made 4 "dishscapes" (tiny little landscape sculptures in a small thrown dish). The last one got really silly as the class was making suggestions so its a little street round the edge of the dish with 4 houses, a pub, a village shop, a church and a clock tower, then a harbour in the dish with 3 boats. the street is cobbled and has a little wall round it.... All in a dish less than 5 inches across!
Just sold another cow on Etsy. Really feel like a real Etsy seller now :-)
(party)(party)
That's great! Well done!
(clap)
Just uploaded all the donkeys on there now.(rofl)
Had to price sending a donkey to America this morning, but the shipping was more than they could do.
I have come down with a flu type buggy thing it is sapping my energy and making me wooly headed. My mouth has been really bad for the last few days and this morning I realised that I had got aural thrush again. So been trying natural yogurt, sucking a teaspoonful for as long as I can keep it in my mouth is really helping and I may try doing so all week to see if that helps with the general soreness as well.
Oh hunni, that's rubbish :(
I really feel for you lovely x
