Big Pot: A gal I know owns an organic beauty salon, and she wanted a BIG bowl for her clients to soak their feet in before they got their pedicures. So I 'whipped up this bowl' (which really means that I managed to center and throw a big 12 pound bowl, which is a lot for me). ;) I don't own any bats big enough to trim such a huge bowl, so I enlisted Brian to cut out a bat and make the holes *exactly* right so it would fit tight on the wheel head. He didn't disappoint. :)

Small pots: After trimming that monster, I wedged up some clay and made some little oil lamp bodies. I haven't made these before, but I think oil lamps are fun. I vaguely remember a small dome shaped oil lamp from my childhood (Allison, Suzanne, Mom? Do you remember what I'm talking about? My memory is fuzzy.) ;) These little lamps will get a small handle, a bead for the top, and a fiberglass wick.

Lavender: I'm trying to grow lavender from seed. I have lavender and onion seeds in my little bio dome on the window sill. My friend who is good at growing veggies and whatnot tells me these little bio domes with a heat mat are the way to go (she's a master gardener, I'm taking her word for it). She started a different kind of lavender (zone 4 vs. my zone 5) and hers sprouted in 4 days. Mine are on day 6. C'mon, little seeds!

Blue: I finally did it. I finally got my hair done. My friend Pixie did it (don't worry, she's a professional). She bleached the hair in the middle, leaving some on top, around the sides, and along my hair line underneath as my natural blonde... and dyed it BLUE. I wanted her to do it this way so it would blend together and I wouldn't have it growing out funky from my scalp (and be a constant touch up issue). I like it... and when it fades in a couple of months, I can just re-dye the bleached parts to another ??? color. :)
That's all for today. I worked *all day* so I'm taking the evening off, eating the cream cheese brownies that Brian made, and watching TV. :)
