My bottom is too thick

five broken!
5 out of 42
More accurately, the differential between the foot /bottom is too thick by comparison to the rim / top = I need to be more bold in the trimming department.
Meanwhile, on a happier note since this is Smiley Saturday too, above you’ll see my son’s bed. Granted it is a little messy and may not obviously strike you as being ‘made,’ however, it is indeed ‘made,’ by his very own fair hands without prompting, which scores a ten out of ten in my book.
Addendum:-
On another quite stunning note, here is a piccy of another quite ordinarily tiny huge accomplishment. I could remind you about lung capacity, lip closure, co-ordination not to say motivation but you know all that stuff already. Pretty darned impressive for an asthmatic.
Cheers dears

those dishes are beautiful, what a shame
March 28th, 2009 at 8:15 am
Loved the dishes and the made bed and the blue baloon… I need to do the dishes and make my bed. Bye
March 28th, 2009 at 8:33 am
That bed making looks better than mine
March 28th, 2009 at 9:04 am
congrats on the bed! Wish I could get mine to do that (either of them!
I’m more curious about the markings on the balloon blower though – marking out the cuts of beef? 
March 28th, 2009 at 9:09 am
Wow. Can your guys come teach my guys about bed making? And balloons? That is great work.
Oh, and you come, too. I need to learn about pots.
March 28th, 2009 at 9:59 am
Impressive bed-making! Bummer about the dishes…
March 28th, 2009 at 10:09 am
gr8 pics. But I’m with Karin, what are all the marking on the balloon boy????? We had a sharpie incident at our house a couple of days ago, that I got totally blamed for…. (is someone in the dog house for this?)

Teriffic progress on the balloon and the bed. And, um, Maddy, isn’t his a family blog? I’m really quite shocked to see your bottom crack showing!
(Sorry, couldn’t resist!)

Will we be seeing a Try It Tuesday on using broken pottery for mosaics?
March 28th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Ah that bed is much tidier than I ever goty mine.. even with a duvet!
March 28th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
I think that bed looks great! I’ll take one made by anyone but me.
Sorry about the dishes, that’s too bad.
March 28th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Oh, such a shame, they are so beautiful. Did you make them? Yes, quite a feat! My daughter and I both have asthma and I’ve given up on blowing party balloons long ago ; ) Great SOOCs!

I am BIG TIME impressed with his bed making, and agree completely with perfection being over-rated.
Lung capacity etc. popped into my mind immediately. Impressed again.
Now about the big bottom issue…are you the potter?
Loving that you’re “in again” with SOOC Saturday.
March 28th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Oh, it hurts to see those gorgeous dishes broken! Did you make them Maddy? Your talents are impressive…and speaking of impressive, the made up bed and balloon blowing are both quite!
March 28th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
Okay, so I don’t even make my bed every morning (err, half the days of the week maybe?) so that’s quite an accomplishment – kudos!
And love the balloon picture! Funny how a single snapshot can mean a whole story to someome
March 29th, 2009 at 1:39 am
oh no !! those dishes are amazing ! I wonder what sort of crafty thing you could do with the broken ones ….
March 29th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Sorry about the thick bottom issue. At least now you have motivation to reduce…
Lovely bed-making and balloon-blowing!
March 29th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
Anyone could’ve beat me to it as I’ve been out a couple of days….MM beat me to it for asking how you might recycle the broken ceramics.
Waah? Duh the bed is not being perfect?
Your son takes after you…blows.me.away. Inked shoulders and all. hehe.
March 29th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Excellent!!!!
