The end of a painful week - not in the neck, but in my back. I have spent the last three days flat on my back, mostly in bed! I have backache off and on, due to a childhood ailment, but this time around it was soooo painful. I just had to give in and hope that some rest would help and it did. Feeling much better today and trying to get things back to normal - if there is such a thing here. The result of this forced inactivity is that no work has been completed this week - thank goodness I didn't have any orders to complete. I also had to cancel other plans, one of which was to attend the Jacob's Well country market on Friday and to do some research at local gift shops with Linda (cake-maker to the stars - well, one day). I had already arranged not to do this coming Friday's market and due to other commitments this month, I will only being doing one session.
Last week was half-term, so no pottery - thank goodness as I wasn't in any fit state to do anything. On my return to the class this week, I hope to find that my candle holders have been biscuit-fired so I can glaze them. It would be nice to have them ready, filled and on sale at the Craft and Food Fair. Not so worried about the snowflake ornaments being ready for the next glazing stage as I have plenty of time to get them into a saleable condition. Knowing how quickly time goes when making Christmas things for sale, I hope this is not famous last words.
A short-ish post this week - normal blog posts will be resumed next weekend. Thank you to everyone who left a comment on my last week's post. Don't forget to nip over to check out this week's Handmade Monday posts and if you would like to be a guest blogger, please do get in touch: christmaspiecrafts@virginmedia.com.
Have a good week.
