13. Decorate and Fire my own Pots: I like Majolica and Telavera pots. They are all over Pinterest if you want to see them.. I'd planned to do this years ago but was hit by Fibromyalgia, CFS, wrist, knee, and gall bladder surgery, most horrible of all, the death of a daughter in her prime... not all the four horsemen but quite a few of them...so....I want to create these for my plants - and finishing up other things in Ceramics. I Have a kiln. I'm going to use it.
I plan on filling and Firing my kiln a couple of times a year.. Finish everything and make pots ....

And, A YouTube.....

I've never gardened anything BUT succulents. I've never been particularly successful, even at that. Maybe I should learn to knit, eh?
ReplyDeleteWell, Ron, you can't kill knitting so maybe you should. lol
DeleteSucculents are easier on your hands though, since they don't have thorns, unlike their cacti cousins. You live in the wild barren landscape of the north so my bet is that you'd need a heater to keep them alive over winter. ;o)
Such a fun and intuitive post loved every sentence and thought
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you liked it, and you are quite kind to say so. We will see how much of this I get done. Some of it seems a little energetic in the light of day. hehe
DeleteI hope you are successful at every endeavor and frankly I'm pleased to see that you have goals and plans! You must tell me how you managed to find them.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you, Ms. CountryDew. I'm doing a few of them already but at a snail's pace, and the trip up the coast to Canada is still on hold. Right now, I could happily run away from home and just live in the RV, but then I would miss my hubby and Wolfie. lol
DeleteThese are all from an old bucket list things. A list that I'm feeling the pressure to accomplish. The spinning of wool is going to be the hardest. But, the gauntlet has been tossed down and I must try harder.
You've got a lot of knitting ahead of you. You make your own yarn? That's highly admirable. I've tried a few times, but it just made me want to raise sheep.
ReplyDeleteI like the Northwest a lot. :) I'm not so fond of the southern end of the West Coast as I'm not good with large numbers of strangers.
I have only made yarn on a drop spindle so far, and a long time ago. I want very much to make yarns because even if the hands give out they can still be made to spin yarn. I've wanted a flock of sheep for so long. But I'd want them in Scotland or New Zealand where everything is GREEN, GREEN GREEN...
DeleteTo be honest, I hate being on the Southern End of the West Coast except when we lived in a place called Nestor, almost to the border. It was rural and had a horse farm nearby, and was less than a about a mile from the beach....
I have ALWAYS wanted to be above Los Angeles along the coast somewhere cool. But, life is what happens when you are busy making plans, eh? It was not to be. I'd really like to live in Arcata.
I wanted a rose garden but it was too hard. I used to wire wrap crystals and gems.
ReplyDeleteAh.. a fellow wirewrapper. Yay! I'm still doing wire wrapping from time to time, but it hurts the hands. That's the only reason I stopped trying to do it for production. I can still facet and make my own cabs; however, it's twilight time for all my metalsmithing. Lol
DeleteAs you say, "Roses are too hard. If a protracted drought hadn't slowly killed 13 of my roses and left only two, it would have been nice. The water use is tremendous. Roses definitely need lots of water.
