The official studio



Ok, so it might not look like much, and of course the sofa isn't ideal, and the seasoned potter with their complete studio may look at this and think how can anyone work like that, but to me it's pure gold because it's all mine! I haven't had a chance to break it in yet as we are, yet again, projecting around the house. Our latest is that we are chinking our logs so that we can oil the house in another couple of weeks. But then today we were out of chinking material so we went to the nurseries looking for the great sales. Unfortunately we came home with a truck full of yard work on top of everything else. In the middle of purchasing all our shrubs and grasses and rose bushes and trees I looked at Adrian and said, "What the HELL are we thinking?" The afternoon was spent transplanting our old bushes that are nowhere near creating the hedge we desired in the front yard and started replacing them with larger, faster growing hedge plants. So we had to move the old boxwoods to the backyard, plant our new trees (in the middle of which Adrian decided he needed to prune the overgrown pine tree in our front yard) and we have yet to get to the rest of the grasses in, finish the transplant of the boxwoods and plant the new rose bush.

We still need to move my shelves upstairs and get rid of a few things we'd been needlessly storing up in the loft before I'll be able to fully utilize my new studio space, but rest assured I'll be breaking in the new wheel SOON.
