Frustrations,Creations and Festivities

Frustrations,Creations and Festivities Make an Interesting Life

Life has been big as usual over the last fortnight.

 We have had my eldest sons wedding in the preparation

     and I wanted so much for the day to be perfect for them.

As the caterer for the 70 guests I had my work cut out.

     I had decided to make some ceramics bowls and platters 

to contain the large amounts of food.

So of course, as Murphy's Law would have it,

when it came to the final glaze firing my kiln decided 

that it was in need of some help.

 Fortunately I have some wonderful friends

        and after almost giving up on having the pots 

       for the wedding our friend Kath,who is also 

     the art teacher at the school that my daughter 

   goes to, said she would be happy to help me 

         out with a firing in return for a firing I had done 

     for one of her HSC students a couple of years 

ago when they had no kiln.

PHEW! 

So the pots were fired,

the food was made 

and the wedding was had.

.

Though it was just a little crrrrrrrazy in the kitchen!!!

                                                         
                                                                         




                                                                               



                                         
                                                         It was a delightful ceremony

                                           
                                                      

                                                           

                                                         

                                                   The cake had been hand painted by their friends
                                                                          Toni and Karena
                                                                           It was stunning!

 

                                                       


                                                            Smiles of love filled the air

                                                      The littlies had a lovely time :)

                                                           

                                                       

A creative and happy wedding 

and delightful memories were made.

all the wedding photos were taken by my brother Chris

                                                But that is not all that has been happening....


                                              My daughter has been sculpting in paper clay
                                                      a school project that she brought home
                                                                         to complete
                                                           I think she is BRILLIANT!

                                     and our ground works have been continuing
                                           and I now have a nice PIT..... for a firing!

                                                      HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!

                                                            and now that I can take a breath
                                                I will have a look at what the Mud Colony 
                                                            potters have been up to.
