 I made a bunch of ornaments as gifts for my history-of-science students. For several years now, I've given ornaments to my students. These are all based on the characters we learned about in class. Each ornament has the date of when the particular scientist made their discovery.

Yesterday was all about going to Montgomery to a neurologist who put me on more medicine and told me, "My mother always said, 'shut up and do what I tell you' and that's what I'm telling you." I didn't like his bedside manner, but hope the meds help.

Dan bought the stuff to put my birdhouse on a pole in the garden at the border with the woods. He pounded the pole into the ground today and we mounted the house. I hope some bluebirds find it.

Ran around this morning, and went to an art talk with my mom at a gallery nearby. Talked with a friend about making jewelry. It was a good day.

This is really getting fun.
I'm a potter now.

Pottery tonight. Worked on my lamp and glazed the birdhouse, butter dish, and baking dish.

I made this stuff. With this house and these buttons I realized that I have mastered the necessary skills to really enjoy this craft. So, I decided today to enroll for another 10-session course! 

Tonight in pottery class, I found my flow. All time stopped as I worked on collaring vases, trimming mugs, and assembling a lamp. Also, I got this stuff out of the kiln and love how it all turned out.

Dan's pottery is really good. I wish he was taking the class with me again. I like going, but it was good having him there too.
