Getting crafty again.

Yesterday, my girlfriends and I got together for another enrichment activity.  This time, we went to "Color Me Mine" which is a pottery shop where you go glaze pre-made ceramics and they fire it for you.  I REALLY wanted to do a gnome.  I got there a little early and picked out a medium size one.  The other ladies did a chip/dip bowl, custom tile, leaf dish, and another gnome. 

We got busy picking colors and painting.  Unfortunately, there was no alcohol at this event but we had fun.  We started at 6:00.  Before we knew it, it was time for the shop to close (8:00) but they said we could stay until 8:30 when another party was scheduled to leave.  At 8:35, I still had the face to paint.  Do I keep going or do I stop and come back?  I decided to keep going but it was a stressful and frantic pace.  I got done but I felt like I was on the Amazing Race.  When I got done at 9:00, I was practically panting from anxiety but I think I got it done.  Our pieces will be done on Sunday.  I'll go pick up for everyone and take them to a get together we have on the 21st.  I can't wait to see the end result.

Now we need to find out next activity.  We are talking about evening canoeing down Provo River!

I'll update with a photo of my gnome when it is done.  I hope he ends up cute.  I think I messed up the eyes.  I hope not.
