As The World Turns

As usual my weekend off days are so precious and since I don't get to see many of them, I jammed packed sat and sun with stuff to do.

On saturday, I got to stretch my painting fingers and dredge from the deepest recess of my memory on how to hold a paint brush and actually paint something.


But I was painting was not oil on canvas, but pieces of ceramic ware. This is my little buggy. I stuck to the safe route and chose something I actually know about.


Next time I'm doing more tiles, vases etc, like my fellow painters did. These are unfinished pieces, they still need to be fired in the Kiln and be glazed. I am assured that it will look wayyyy better once its been fired. Keep tuned in for the final product.


Then on sunday, I re-learned to over come two things I am usually cynical about. But firstly a slight detour as the event was held in Calgary's Olympic Oval. This stadium is used for speed skating events as well as Ice Hockey and Figure Skating.




Then, my two cynical problems, one apparently a fear of heights and trusting someone at the bottom won't let me scream aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh all the way to the bottom, should I be a dud and do actually fall off which I duly did although at a ridiculously low heights. Ahem, but I did managed to get to the top. Yes I went Rock Wall Climbing. Yes it's also my first time. Now as soon as my fingers decide to return from being angry with me, I'm going again.
