I seem to have taken this week mostly "off" as far as pottery is concerned. But I have done some organizing and errands and exploring. Made the mistake of going into a fabric store yesterday. It was a fascinating warehouse sort of place with all manner of interesting, and not interesting, materials. I ended up back in a corner where there were left overs of all sorts and the staff gave me an amazing scrap of indescribable material. About the right size for a bureau cover. I told her I could put a piece of braid around the edges - that I bought about 20 years ago for ???? Then on the way out, I could not resist a half metre of a colourful striped material- suitable for a lawn chair or ????
So today, after the animal chores, I found my "notions" bin and brought it in. When I started sorting it out, I actually found this braid, still in the store's bag! Just the right length to do up a beautiful runner. I cleared about half the bin, washed some, threw out some and put the rest on the porch because the odour started to bother me.
Also mended a hammock for the critters and started a second one but ran out of steam.
OH, YAY! - RAINING!!!
So I have cleared space for glaze materials and sorted various items and cleared up long sitting there for no reason stuffs. And found out how to change the wiring in my new wheel to right handed, spent hours looking through properties on line and checked out a couple, did some groceries; the young lad at Super C came through for me! He talked to the bread manager and she ordered extra and there it was on the shelf - two for me and three for anyone else!
Had visit from neighbour, checked out wind turbine info, hand fed the guys grapes one at a time! They LOVE grapes. I usually just put them in their bowls but it was fun to interact. Speaking of interacting, they were delighted with their repaired hammock and were very helpful while I was putting it up! They are also enjoying the teeter-totter we added on the weekend. They are now large enough to make it rock.
Time to check out the musician at St. Isidore tonight. Maybe a good idea to go there rather than sit home and read the fourth book this week.
