One of the bowls I made in pottery class, glazed and done. I'm using it as a fruit bowl on my kitchen island. It turned out better than I expected.
And below is the first soap dish that I made. The second was an improvement, but that hasn't been glazed yet.
I'm not feeling 100% today. No fever, but my body hurts and I'm congested. I've had a sore right shoulder and neck for the past month and it's not getting better. I've been putting heat packs on it, stretching, and taking advil but it's not going away. I even had a massage and that didn't help either. I should probably see a physio but it seems like too much effort to make an appointment and go there right now. Maybe tomorrow.
Last week I bought some shelves for my front window, so that I have more room for plants. The cat is too old now to bother with my plants and Heidi doesn't need her crate anymore because she's stopped chewing things. When we got rid of the crate, I realized I could move the couch and have room for shelves. Yay.
Back in January I bought myself a new bed frame and headboard and it was finally delivered last week. On the weekend, hubby and I put it together and I no longer need the crappy old boxspring. We brought it downstairs and Jack proceeded to make a fort out of it. I told him that he could have the fort for four days, because I can only take so much disruption in my life sadly.
He loved making his fort more than actually spending time in it. Today it comes down.
I'm too tired to deal with the general fuckery today. Suffice it to say that the fuckery continues.
Your bowl did turn out quite nicely ... the fruit will be happy!
ReplyDeleteEvery kid loves building a fort!
Johnson is all part of the fuckery, too! They are all such fucking liars!
I didn't know who Johnson was, so I looked him up. A self professed christian who apparently does follow the tenets of the christian faith. He is a Heuchler, or hypocrite.
DeleteAwesome pottery! Awesome fort! And you're right about the fuckery, it never stops.
ReplyDeleteI stole your musk meme, learned how to pronounce the word and will use it with glee. Thank you:)
DeleteI think your bowl and your soap dish are wonderful! Glaze is magic, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much I love that Elon meme. God yes.
I didn't like the actual glazing, because I didn't know how things would turn out. Now I know and I like it a lot better:)
DeleteI wonder if the Germans have a word for someone who needs a punch in the throat.
Gorgeous fruit bowl. Jack had a very nice fort there, but I share your desire for orderly spaces.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't really say anything when the fort was gone. I think he truly enjoyed building it more than anything. I'm glad to have my living room back:)
DeleteThe center detail in your fruit bowl is lovely! Also, the fort, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI am still having a quiet moment of WTF whenever I remember how that orange man mentioned the great US lumbar industry.
The centre detail in the bowl is just a cutout that I attached. I like how it turned out though. And trump boggles the mind.
DeleteYou seem rather good at pottery.
ReplyDeleteI like the word of the day, and although I can't pronounce it, I'd certainly like to see it done, hard.
I would like to see it done as well. If you google how to pronounce the word, you'll find a video that tells you. I used to have to call people with complicated names and I would google how to pronounce their names before I had to call them.
DeleteI do like the fruit bowl, also Jack's fort, he used the quilt you made him. The last two memes are perfect, hard to choose which one I like best......
ReplyDeleteI like both memes too. The fort is gone but the quilt lives one.
DeleteMy wife absolutely loves her local pottery guild. Art therapy works. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteWorking with your hands is good for your mood and your brain. I'm hoping I feel better today too. Thanks.
DeleteAaaahhh, I love Jack's fort. Shame it has to go!
ReplyDeleteNeeds must. It didn't seem to upset him at all that it was gone.
DeleteBeautiful pottery! Excellent fort.
ReplyDeleteThanks Colette:)
DeleteYou're doing great with your pottery and making things you can use. Paintings are wonderful but there is only so much wall space for them. The constant stream of hatred, vitriol and insanity from the right wing is wearing me down. It's hard to find the good these days. Love the fort!
ReplyDeleteDesmond Tutu — 'Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.' That's all we can do sometimes.
DeleteYour pottery looks really good. It must feel great to make something that you can now use around the house. I loved the proctologist meme. The King of assholes.
ReplyDeleteThe king of assholes indeed. I hope he has hemorrhoids and constipation.
DeleteYour pottery is beautiful! You should be proud. That IS a pretty impressive fort, and the shelves look great. Now you can make some flowerpots!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. I bought myself some more plants, now that the cat can't kill them (she's too old to get into much mischief now). I also took/stole some cuttings and we'll see how those turn out.
DeleteI'm so glad you're taking that pottery class! They turned out nice. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI love the pottery class, not just for the ladies who are amazing, but for the creativity and to be able to use my hands. It's like gardening, contemplative.
