WOYWW #204

Happy WOYWW !   Time to hop skip and jump around the globe to visit our friends and snoop around on their workdesks.  This is what my "workspace" looked like this morning.
                      I needed to sort my yarn stash and my dining room table was just the right size.

  These weeks are flying by so fast. It's hard to believe we are in May!
Here's an update on last week's scarves.
The purple one (above) in the bowl and still in progress.
The green one has a home with my daughter. It took a week for me to track her down so I could get this photo.
The pink one is ready to go to the pink scarf project.



 RecentlyI  was introduced to a group of wonderful women who knit at a local library once a month. I enjoy their company very much and look forward to our time together. I am usually a solitary type and it feels great connecting with other crafty women. This is somewhat of a challenge for me. I normally like to spend time alone.
 But this year has me reaching out for "in real life" friends.
I think I found a few in this group.

moving on to the pottery......
Yes you read that right. As if I don't have enough hobbies. But I can explain.

See that bowl up there in that first photo? The one with the purple scarf in it.
 It is pretty and functional but. ....
 I have been searching for yarn bowls and I haven't found one I like yet.

All that yarn needs a place to live in my craft room and I love the way yarn looks in bowls. So I decided to make my own.This meant I had to find a place where I could make them.  There is a Pottery Studio in easy driving distance so I enrolled in a beginners course.     
 I had thrown pottery before.....
a long long long time ago.
It seems the skills have memory and in no time at all I was able to make these  

So on Wednesday Mornings this will be my workspace for the rest of the summer.




For my new readers :
WOYWW is a link party where participants let each other know what they are working on each week. It started four years ago and beleive it or not it is still going strong. It is one of my favorite link ups.
Now run along and visit Julia to find the list of participants this week.
