Absence makes the heart grow fonder...but does this apply to blogging?
Welcome to 2009 in mid April.
Gosh! Life has taken its toll on me and in between a few panic attacks--whilst driving on the highway to and from Sydney, making them truly scary attacks--then having my left eye bruised and bleeding by my dog in his attempt to show me how much he loves me, and hunting for more equipment to stock up my pottery studio with while also completing a few knitting projects [you can stop now and take a breath], this sore-knuckled lady here has had a joyful but painful past few months. The only victim has been my blogging spot & website: totally neglected.
As for me and the above mentioned little dramas, well, was ordered to get some sleep. A lot of it.
And that's how've I've spent my Easter break, sleeping and napping like the 'ol lady I'm becoming.
But wait! I've not been idle. Am so excited about the next few weeks. Must tell you that I've found a pug-mill and the gas kiln I've been wanting for so long. Both second hand ones (can't afford new ones at the moment). Pug-mill already sits in my studio, yippee. The kilns been a huge task though. We're going to have to get organized next Friday to drive a rental: pallet truck with crane attached. And then its off to Sydney to lug the huge thing back home here on the south coast and squeeze it into our garage; the more exciting part is that within the next couple of months, after a few more weeks worth of work to earn some pennies, we'll be making an addition to my sweet little studio just for the kiln. Heidi-ho, I'll be reveling in my full-blown studio space then, making pots and sculptures and well, getting dirty;)
Have also knit four new sweaters since we got home and me poor knuckles are taking the toll.
Shall post fotos of both studio progress and knits in the next blog--but for now all I have on the brain is that gas kiln coming home to mama.
