the last NaBloPoMo Hurrah!

It is the last day of November and the last day of National Blog Posting Month. I got an email from NaBloPoMo today announcing that next month’s theme is Mitzvah and the challenge is to give something to someone everyday of the month and post about it. I LOVE that idea! BUT, I am so burnt out from this month and of all the things that fill my daily life. If only I had known that theme before I decided to take on this month’s challenge I might have held out for December.

That being said, my sister was so kind to point out to me that SewMamaSew’s Give-Away day is coming up. If I can’t give away things all month long the least I can do is one day and since I had so much fun participating in this in the past there is no chance I’d miss it.

Please check back and see what I will be giving away. I haven’t decided yet. If you have any suggestions I’d be glad to hear them.  Anything from my shop would be cool.

What does this image make you think of?

Today was my last pottery class :( I will be returning to pick up my pieces and I’m very excited to see how they will turn out. I didn’t get as much done as I had hoped. The first class went so well, and then, as I feared, the next two classes I flopped piece after piece. When the class is only 5 sessions long that can really put a kink in production. BUT, I do have a couple thrown pieces and a bunch of hand constructed pieces that I will share here as soon as I can. Everyone in the class is very excited to take the next class again. Bad news is… it’s not being offered again until next February. Well, it will give me plenty of time to come up with a plan for pieces I want to make.

Did I mention it is National Blog Posting Month and I’m participating? Well, I’m taking the weekends off, so I’m not posting truly every day. Here is the blogroll of all other participants for this month. Check ‘em out if you like.

lost and nablopomo

My eyes are tired, I’m tired.

Tonight was the Lost party. We had 14 lost fans and bajillions of pounds of food. Everyone brought their favorite appetizers. It was scary how much food was there. If we had been a group of 14 people stranded on an island with all that food, we could have lived long enough to figure out why the island keeps moving, and shifting time, as well as get our own Sawyer nickname. Mine would be “crafty”, or if you ask matt, “stubborn” or “talky”.

Enough. Sorry for the sad post, but I’m still hanging on to the commitment for  NaBloPoMo, but just barely. They can’t all be winners people, in fact, 50% would be a miricle. I am proud to say I have accomplished 21 days in a row. I’m patting myself on the back right now.

Good night.
