Reasons to be cheerful - spending a day making things!

Today we have spent all day in the pottery making things! In the morning Gerry made some pots in the Superwhite which he will pit fire. Last weekend he successfully pit fired some small pots so he wants to try again with larger pots. If the weather carries on like it has been - these should be dry in a few days, and will be biscuit fired.

In the meantime, I made twenty-four scouring pad holders in the shape of sheep. Why sheep? - we did a few "wool shows" last year, selling pots connected with sheep, alongside our yarn bowls. The product that sold best was the scourer pad holder and we continued to sell them at shows throughout the year. We haven't any in stock at the moment so nows the time to remedy that!

And to finish - a few pictures of other things we make to do with sheep!
