Humble beginnings

I've always been into crafts and done knitting (still proudly remember my first scarf with the lovely giant hole in the middle - I did that!) rug-making, sewing, making woollen pom-poms, painting stones, picture framing, willow sculptures etc.

We've now got a fantastic shop (Sweet Ginger Emporium) down the road that does courses, and I've learnt some quilting with them. I thought now was a good time to keep a record of what I'm doing, what I've done and I'll be able to see improvements and keep an eye on the new stuff I learn as well!

Considering all that, I'm not in the least bit artisitic!

Ceramic painting

There's a little pottery shop down the road, you can go and paint something and they'll fire it in their kiln and you collect it in a week.  Fab for me, there's no trying to balance something on a pottery wheel!

I chose to go with some friends for my birthday and then got a few of them hooked - there was another birthday and then a Christmas painting party too.  Here's a couple of things I did.
