Take it easy if you can!!
Make sure you do stop tonight lovely....
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
I have a class tonight and two of the people are so keen they tend to arrive at about 6:30 even though the class does not kick off till 7! One of the people coming is a newbie on her second week so I have to be in attendance...Originally Posted by Suzi
When I finally get rid of them at all at about 9:30 I might get a rest! Although there is another group in tomorrow at 10:15 so I will have to make sure the studio is clean and tidy ready for them!

Oh Pen! You need some magic fairies to help you!

Yes if you find some please send them over, if they could come with dustpan and brushes I need some to get into the nooks and crannies of the studio and clean out the dust...

I'm still looking for the house cleaning ones too....

You need a small, long haired cat to wander around and collect the dust for you
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Ah now that's an idea!

Hi folks
Its been a while since I have been here so I thought I would pop on here and let you know what is happening in the mad, mad world of a Somerset potter.
First the BIG news. H and A have finally set a date for their wedding and booked the venue. It will be the 14th October this year and I am regarding the oncoming date with a huge mixture of excitement and fear!
Life has been hectic in the studio in the last 9 days. The airing of the BBC's Great Pottery Throwdown has brought a lot of requests for private one hour lessons and I have been busy dealing with enquiries and of course running the lessons and dealing with the pottery created. Also of course last week (here anyway) was half term so I had kiddies groups to deal with. On Thursday I had 15 children spread across two groups and then in the evening had an adults class as well.
This week is my "catch up" week. There are no classes whilst H and I deal with the aftermath of last week. The kilns will be firing back to back all week to try and get the backlog cleared. On top of that I have big plans of what I want to get done in this "free" week.
Fire the test kiln with some special glazes
Try a raku firing
Make 6 big garden pots/sculptures
Take Dad and my daughter to the garden centre
Take my daughter and myself shopping
Buy a new pair of shoes
Get down the town and pay in the takings
Meet up with some friends
Spend time with my dog on long walks to make up for being so busy this week.
Sort out adverts for the special classes I am running this year
Contact parents about booking kids in for the Easter holidays
Change the bed
Do my washing
Wash all the studio aprons, overalls and towels
Recycle 3 big tubs of clay that are sitting in the garden
Check and order clay for a special task I have set the classes on their return
Empty out the flower tubs in the garden from last summer. ( My garden is all bricked over so I just have a lot of tubs and plants, probably about 50 or 60)
Plant up the baby strawberry plants that have rooted themselves in other flower tubs around the garden.
Plant up the huchera that I bought last autumn that is still waiting for a pot.
Replant a number of plants that need splitting or just repotting
Generally tidy up the garden
Make appointments with the doctor and podiatrist
Do some painting
Sort out my husbands house insurance
Tidy up a particularly messy corner of the studio
Update my online listings of pottery for sale
I have also just won a contract to supply a tourist attraction in the next town with my miniature sculptures so I also want to
Go to the town and get photos and sketches of some of the key features to make more sculptures
Meet a friend for coffee there
Finish off the latest three sculptures
Make a list of the sculptures for sale and prices
Label the sculptures
Deliver the first batch to the centre
Make some more sculptures
So could be busy!!
Success is not final, Failure is not fatal.
Wow! I was wondering how you were doing!
Blimey, I think you've written a list there for years, not a week!
How is your mood doing?
Congratulations to H and A!
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
