One thing that I tried that I got “hooked” on was painting pottery. Our local pottery studio has a “ladies night” once each month, and for 5 months I’ve been going with a group of girlfriends and painting pottery. I’ve missed the past two months because of vacation and conflicts. But last Thursday I returned -- and this is what I made –

I’m not an ARTIST – but I find painting pottery is very forgiving. I wanted to make something for Halloween – preferably a candy bowl. But I decided “pumpkins” were more holiday-neutral. I have since decided to give this to my Mom for her birthday. Probably the 1st homemade gift I’ve EVER given her in my life!
Happy Birthday Mom!
