Last night I went to visit my friend Skeeter and he was so pooped we didn't get to play at all! Okay, maybe a little. But he slept in my arms for over two hours until it was time to head home for my own bed. Ya know what? Cuddle time is really good too!
On the pottery scene, I have my first pottery "class" of the season on Wednesday and it was BLISS. I have been finding myself irritated and annoyed with some of the newer students for the past couple of terms. Nice, nice people, BUT......they spend all their time chatting because this is their only social outlet and hogging the equipment when I'm trying to WORK. Yes, they are GETTING IN MY WAY!!! So this term I asked Jerry if I could come from 2:30 to 4:30 instead of 12:30 to 2:30. Truth is, he doesn't spend any real time teaching me anymore, and if I need his input, I know where to find him and I do ask him. He was totally okay with it. In the past he has always let me stay past class time if I chose, and has in fact allowed others to stay late if I am there too. Really, he is getting a studio minder for free on the odd days that someone wants to make-up some missed class time. Win-win!
Anywho......I was working in his little studio in the middle of his property in the middle of nowhere. It's wooded, peaceful. The back door was open, a nice breeze was blowing in, the radio tuned to a soothing classical station, and the sound of the birds chirping in through the open screen......heaven. I made four pieces, two I liked, two are crap. But that's okay, I was just spending time getting reacquainted with my old friend clay.
