Trimming week on my pottery course done. These are the 6 pots going into the kiln. Fingers crossed at least one of them makes it out OK!

So, long time no post. I've been off work with autistic burnout and limiting social media use. I started watercolour painting as a form of therapy about 5 months ago. This was one of the first painting I was happy with.

Fed up with winter now, but signs of spring are here. The first small clump of frog spawn has appeared in the pond overnight and I got some lovely colourful pansies and primroses at the garden centre 🙂

Been busy spinning today. Merino and silk blend spun into a thick and thin yarn then spiral and coil plied with linen thread, adding Masham, Cotswold and Teeswater locks as I went along 🙂
