This afternoon, I got an Amazon delivery.  I was so excited to finally get my Lomo Fisheye Camera.  My new toy.  It was like Christmas again.  I couldn’t wait to open the box and read the manual.  Pretty much, I was like a kid in the candy shop.

Sometimes I really think I have no life. No really. I spent Friday night, Saturday and Sunday at the pottery studio. I should just hand over my paycheck for firing fees. In two days, I have already made a total of 10 pieces. Also got 5 pieces out of the [...]

There is this gal in pottery class that is just way too pretty. I don’t mean pretty in terms of how she looks aesthetically. In which she does fair well in that department. But it’s more that she’s not dressed properly for pottery. It’s a craft that is all about [...]

I went to the pottery studio to pick up my last 3 pieces. I’m pretty excited how they turned out. Now, I’m having a bit of a hard time selecting my 3 pieces. It’s pretty cool, that I get show my friends and family what I’ve been doing in the basement of the pottery studio. [...]

I went to my first Smiley’s Yarn Riot sale. Let’s just say, I walked out and am now wondering how the hell I spent over 120 dollars on yarn. You heard it right. I got about two garbage bags of yarn. I saw this Paton yarn that usually go for about 7 dollars a ball [...]

Argh! I was throwing my clay on the wheel and my bat decided to go flying. Woops! It went a few feet away and my clay landed face down. In addition, my splash pan split open. it was not a good day. For some reason, every time I try to lift or center the clay, [...]

It was many first today. I made my first bowl in my pottery class. So psyched. Can’t wait to learn to trim, and hopefully I can glazed that sucker. After 3 classes. That’s so cool. The couple from the first class showed up again. My fellow classmates usually refer to them as the Couple. But [...]

It’s been a very busy weekend. And MTA did not help. I didn’t get out of the city past midnight, and got stuck in a train re-routing. Apparently, I had to get off the train to take bus to another station to reach my final destination. Unfortunately this station had no alternative trains. Bah.. Can [...]

It has just been a very long week. Partially because there has been so much to do. I was extremely tired and was thinking of skipping out on pottery. Yes, a chance to play with clay. Round and round it went. Very frustrating I say. Cause I don’t yet have the hand strength to wield [...]
