This was an AWESOME day!

I cannot get the smile off my face!


I am so happy right now. I am wondering why I didn't just make it happen sooner. I spent a few hours yesterday getting rid of some things and "finding" my potters wheel. It has been tucked away in the garage and unused for TOO LONG!

So today, I grabbed a bag of clay, dragged the wheel outside, climbed up into the storage in the garage to find my old stool and found my tools. I found out that I can still throw. YES!


It is like riding a bike!

The only problem I ran into today...pictures will tell you better than words. :)



See the smile on her face too? Yep! She loves it! You can't tell by the picture but she has clay in her hair and on her face. She even rubbed it all up her arms and called it princess gloves. ;)


After a little help in centering she was off and running. Now I will be fighting with them for time on MY wheel. Isn't that great!! ;)

And The Winners Are!!

Drum roll please....

Giveaway just got better!

Just wanted to pop in and let you all know that I am reading your comments and writing them all down. You guys are great for taking the time to do this. I am hoping that a lot more will comment before October 16th. In fact I have decided to give away a second gift certificate for $10.

So be sure to comment and now you have a second chance to win. I will be putting all the names in the hat on October 16th at 9:00 am (PST) and will post the winners soon after.
