You are right, the pots in the last picture are for yarn, and the curly openings are for the yarn to come through. I might say a bit more about them in my next post, they are currently cooling after bisque firing yesterday.<br />Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!

Thank you for the laughter and for the warnings about the end of the world. <br />In your last picture, are those pots meant for yarn? Looks like they have openings curly q's or something that are carved---- or is that decorative? <br /><br />All the best-<br />Merry Christmas (if we're here that long!) and a Happy New Year!<br />Amy Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113529511743405120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-40204109373303601952012-12-22T15:46:29.829+13:002012-12-22T15:46:29.829+13:00Hi Astrid,

Hi Christine,
Good to...Happy Christmas to you all!<br /><br />Hi Christine,<br />Good to hear from you, it is the early hours of "tomorrow" now and I am happy to report that we're still here, and I am looking forward to popping open the kiln lid soon! Hope your glaze firings have been successful.. I guess we are all in that busy pre Christmas time with potting!<br /><br />Bonjour Armelle,<br />Ah, you noticed the teapots! I hope to bisque fire them today. It was nice to make some more teapots, I enjoy doing them.<br /><br />Hi Meredith,<br />Hale-bop, I'd forgotten that one.., yes we are also dodging comets and asteroids, the odd black hole, and<br />gamma rays! It is all rather exciting! <br /><br />Hi Judy,<br />Love that song! Good to hear from you. What was truly miraculous about the work lined up on the kiln was that I did fit nearly all of it in the kiln for the firing (just 4 small bowls will have to wait until next time!). <br /><br />Hi Patti,<br />Yup, or should I say "chirp!" we're still here! You are right about us being the planet's canary. We'll definitely be amongst the first to go with any of the dooms day predictions, as Dooms Day will hit us first! Probably we should use this as a marketing tool... Various government PR types have tried to brand NZ as "Knowledge Economy", "Clean and Green", and so on, I think "Kiwi, the planet's canary" has a ring to it!! Mmmmm gasoline prices... I'm wondering if our vehicle will run on home made wine!! Hick!<br /><br />Hi Linda,<br />I thought it was nice to be reminded of something beautiful. The stretch of water is the lagoon that is a short walk from where we live. Lovely bird life there. <br /><br />I was thinking how lucky we are to be able to have Christmas pudding and roses from the garden on the same table... one advantage of Christmas in summer!<br /><br />Our "kittens" are an ongoing source of delight, and it is nice to see them both curled up on the bed as I write this.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-77646897092463724702012-12-22T02:19:35.973+13:002012-12-22T02:19:35.973+13:00what a lovely photo of the water and clouds and th...what a lovely photo of the water and clouds and the rose in the vase on your table, happy holidays to you and Laura and the kittens, they're always kittens aren't they?Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-27567086855892673342012-12-22T01:59:03.924+13:002012-12-22T01:59:03.924+13:00Really loved this post Peter.

Your country is the planet's canary in the mines:))<br />I did think the other day the end might be near when I actually bought gasoline for $2.98:))<br />Wishing you and Laura a wonderful Christmas and 2013.

It would be a pity not to get your pots out, but then you wouldn't know I suppose. I have two kilns of glaze to unpack tomorrow, I wonder if I will see them? Better check my smoke alarm batteries......Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941407276963445940noreply@blogger.com
