Sushi platters!
We made sushi platters at pottery, and this is Matty's - the Potter's name is on it too!
Mary had great fun making hers, and adding all the different glazes, using a brush...
Daisy incorporated the edge design demonstrated by the potter!
And as for me, my platter needs to be fired! But why not head over to The Raggy Rat Facebook Page, where i will be hosting a 'Pay It Forward' give-away tomorrow!

A spot of fettling ...
Back home from the pottery, I manage to find my very own 'kidney' from university days, and shape a pot while listening to children roll playing and fresh eggs boiling!
after creating this texture, I have to stop! I now need this pot fired, at once!
I can wait, especially since i scored at the charity shop, two pieces of nice woven fabric!
Nice label too - ain't that the truth? :-)

All things are new ...
After digging out a 16MB smart memory card I am able to show you the last thing i made in 2011, this colourful cross for a friend, which is inspired by Mexican alter tables ...
It has an alternative side which might fit in with autumnal times which my special friend so loves :-)
I cleared the kitchen windowsill yesterday, to let in more winter light, and to help give that lovely calm feeling that only a good de-clutter can do! Here is a boat I made at pottery, where me and the girls hung out this autumn, learning about clay!
My girls made all kinds of small sculptures and vessels which the potter showed them how to make, and even though they are quite young, they achieved successfully! We even had a glazing session just before Christmas ... On the bottom shelf is a Marble-run which I made in my foundation year, many moons ago. Would you like to see it working?
Finally at tea time yesterday I dug into a black bag of clothing that we have been blessed with and tightened up some trousers for my petite 5 year olds by sewing in extra elastic, and this chunky heart was cut from a very special but old cardigan of mine to repair a jumper for daisy!
When Mary saw me take up the scissors she said, can you cut knitting? Good question for a 3-year-old! It has been partially felted :-)
