holytoastrThe sun did eventually come out and it was glorious.
While I was waiting, I cleaned my sewing room. It's almost completely done. All that is left are the mixed up patterns that need to be put in their proper envelopes.
Once the sun started shining, I went to pottery lab. My large bowl was still to wet to trim, so I tried putting it in front of a fan to dry out. Didn't work.
My other bowl, weirdly enough, was too dry. So I briefly soaked it in water and then was able to trim it. I think it looks nice. If it glazes well, maybe I'll keep it.
Also trimmed my pot with a lid. And added a little knob at the top. I hope after it dries it still looks nice. I have never done a lid before and am very nervous.
Then I threw a cup, a vase, and a tall pitcher. I want to get good at all sorts of shapes.
After pottery, I stopped at the grocery store. My dog was out of food and I wanted more eggs and salad dressing. I feel very clever because I realized that the $1.50 store brand dressing had the same ingredients as the $4.50 fancy buttermilk kind. It tastes a little different, but not too bad, so I am pleased I have saved money.
From there I went to the craft store where, of course, they didn't have rolls of butcher paper or anything similar. I need to find something I can draft a pattern onto soon so I can make my veil. Oh well, worse comes to worse I'll draft it directly onto some practice fabric.
