Pottery Bug

I have the pottery bug again!
I went to the studio for 5.5 hours last night. I got soooo much done. I now hope that everything will be done before Christmas at the cabin.

The pressure is on. I have so much stuff to get done. Gifts, gifts and more gifts.

I am having so much fun creating again. It is like nothing has changed. Except with my absence over the last 4 months I somehow got a lot better!

I was making casserole dishes last night!!!

Yes It is true that I used to be able to make a lot of wonderful things. However last summer I kind of fell out of love for pottery as it was so time consuming and I was working a lot. When I fell out of love, I stopped trying. My pieces started to resemble shit.

Some of it was so horrible that I would just throw it out. No reason in keeping crap.

But last night everything came back. I love the feel of clay. Trying to center on the wheel. The smell of earth. And even the wheel burns you get on your hands when concentrating to hard.
(don't like the smell of burning skin)

I had a date with a brand new friend last night as well. I have known her for about 2 years however we never really chatted. She is a friend of my close friend Alli. And so we would bump elbows at parties and functions. We even bumped into each other in Clear water the last time Drew and I went to the cabin.. She is from Clear water!

Last week we went to a party at a friends home and we started chatting. We found out that we both belong to the same studio, we have the same interests, and similar sense of humor. And we totally hit it off.
I found out later in the night that it was a set up. My friend Alli knows both myself and Sara very well and thought that we should be friends. So she set up our whole meeting and started the conversation and left.
It is funny being set up to be friends with someone. But I don't regret it. I think Sara and I will be very happy together. HAHA

I have pictures of my pottery from last night. However you guys can't see them as Christmas is coming.
I know that I can't keep a secret when it comes to giving. But this year I am trying super hard NOT to tell people what they are getting.

I have also been coming up with a list of new years resolution's. Last year I accomplished both of my resolutions and since then I am very happy!
I quit smoking and I lost a wack of weight (sadly all from my chest and back)

This year it will be more about productivity and less about health however I will continue to try to lose weight.

Other then this.... I'm boring.
bye!
