A bit of a crafty day today.

Don and I attended our third and final pottery class this morning. Don loved glazing. I love glazing less – being a bit scarred from underwhelming past glaze choices.

I do think that is finally it for me and pottery. Not that I don’t like it, it’s quite fun – but I’m not really passionate or wildly enthusiastic about it. I had such wonderful visions of RetiredMe being fully actualised at the wheel. Time to develop alternatives! WWPD? **

Inspired into more crafty endeavours, this afternoon I started making two very tiny books that I’ve been thinking about for a long while (out of head and into hands!).

I have a decent amount of bookbinding material and various scraps leftover from classes – I usually bring all my scraps home, however tiny. Despite these supplies at my disposal, I’ve made precisely no complete books at home and it has been many, many (many!) months since I made even a text block.

This was another activity where the sleepy neurons have been dragged into action. I am good at text blocks, but beyond that I needed to dig into the recesses of my brain to remember what comes next.

There’s quite a lot of process (these books will take a few days) and I need quite a bit of practice if I’m to get value from all these classes I’ve signed up for this year!

I think perhaps Q2 (and maybe Q3) could be all about taking the next action on projects I’m daunted by.
