Clay ornaments for mother & sister.
She has been locked away in her downstairs studio for the last week and a half. We knew she was making stuff BUT we had no idea.
A few nights ago she commandeered the toaster oven in the kitchen. She blocked access to it with boxes of wine & there was a BIG sign that said “Don’t look”. I knew she must be baking clay but had no idea. I do NOT spoil her fun by peaking or cheating. It is much better to be surprised. She outdid herself. This was her last year — & these were the hand painted sneakers.
What can you say? We are truly blessed.
She can easily sell some of this stuff. She has already had offers. She does NOT want to go commercial! She says she has everything she wants!
Her presents, & she insists that we open these first, make our Christmases of late.
I do NOT take this for granted. I know we are lucky.
She’s just 15? She has a gift. So great to see you encouraging her.
Thank you. She is 15. Will turn 16 in March. She is indeed gifted. She is a joy. I do whatever I can to support & encourage her. Thank you. Happy New Year. All the best.
