yesterday's post was about the happy path ....
right now, for me, my path is the gift giving path .... many gift giving occasions are cropping up ....a while back, i asked girl.beck.artist who at school we should be giving end of the year gifts to since the twins are graduating 8th grade after 12 years at the same school ... so she wrote a list .... with 22 names on it ... oh my!
sorry, boy.beck.artist, hope your people are on the list, cause that's more gift givingness that i can handle .... we ended up adding three more people to the list ... and ... when you have a list that long, you really have to make the gifts ...
so i set out to make pottery for them all .... it was actually very fun ... and funny .... all the peoople in my friday pottery class ... and at my monday pottery class where i was moonlighting to make sure i got it all done, knew that i was on a quest to make VAST amounts of similar pottery in one quarter ... with a deadline ... pottery and deadline don't generally go in the same sentence .... they all were keeping up ... how many are done? how many are bisqueware? how many need their first firing ? how many do you still need to make? .... multiple pottery pals were emotionally invested in my obsessive compulsive pottery making .... no lollygagging at pottery this quarter ... i was working hard ..... i got the 25th finished just last week ....
and really? wrapping 25 gifts was the most trying part .... then it took two shifts each for the twins to tote them to school and deliver them ... cause they aren't small gifts ... they aren't light either .... that pic above is the second round to be delivered ....
now i have some graduation gifts to finish making ... and then wrap them up ....
and then it is on to father's day ... hmmmmm... what should i make ....

what a wonderful thing to do!
i am blown away -- not only that you were able to make that many pieces, but also by your pottery skills!
congrats to your twins on their graduations and next steps!
