Creativity

Okie dokie, so I'm finally posting pictures of my ceramics stuff. I had more, but ended up throwing some of it away because I had issues with cracks this quarter. =( No fun. But, I did get some good stuff! =) Here 'tis!

Here's a couple of bowls; they're all made from Goldstone clay with a clear glaze and colored stains.

Top view of the same bowls since some of them are different colors inside and out.

The other 3 bowls; the one on the right is my absolute favorite--you'll see why in the next picture.

Doesn't the purple look so cool?!? It was one color of stain, but for some reason it turned out multicolored with lots of depth. I love it!

And then finally, I've been working on an afghan for a while now. I bought the yarn and started it about a year ago but actually did most of the work in the last month or so. I really like how it turned out and am so proud that it looks so good! It's not perfect, but hey, it's my first afghan. =)

The whole afghan (it measures about 5 ft long x 3 ft wide

A close up of the pattern; I love the checkers of vertical/horizontal stripes! And it was so easy!

As for a real update...we really haven't been up to a whole lot.

• School ended on the 10th and we've been really enjoying our time off. We've been busy with manager stuff (i.e. yard work and check-ins) and I've been doing some extra check-ins for the company to make a little extra money on the side.
  
• Last week we celebrated our 3rd anniversary, which was pretty exciting. It's crazy to think it's been 3 years already! On the one hand, it feels like yesterday, but on the other it feels like it's been forever. Which is a good place to be, I think. =)
  
• This week we're heading off to see some family that we haven't seen since our wedding, so we're really looking forward to that.
  
• And then next week is Girls' Camp! I can't believe it! I'm a little nervous as it's my first time going to camp not as a camper! But I think it'll be fun. Hopefully the girls will like me.
  

Hop you all are doing well! =)
