Yesss! A new year...

Well, I hope everyone had a lovely New Year's doing exactly what they wanted to do... I did.  Timely to bed on NYE and then spent all of New Year's day realxing and making pom-poms (I'll explain later) while my honey worked on a puzzle. Totally lazy and totally awesome.

Looking back on it, 2009 was quite the year of firsts for me. (Funny, as the year itself is a last.) It marked my first year in a four year school, my first year of daily blogging, my first very own apartment with the love of my life, and even my first studio. Whew... calm down now, 2009. ;) 

Anyway, I was inspired by notebookdoodles (a favorite non-ceramic blog of mine), via The Drifter and The Gypsy, to create a list of nine (ceramic-ish) things that I really liked in 2009, so here goes...

• my miniature Ginger Markley bunny...
  
• moving into Red Brick Studio next to my friend Sarah Zehr...
• starting this blog and all the lovely folks I've met since...
• summer class at CCSF Fort Mason...
• Ai Weiwei's haircut, and his pots, too...
• the incredible artwork of Martha Grover...
• falling in love with throwing again...
• making faces with Esther Shimazu...
• and Hue Yang's pots... which I am still lusting after because unfortunately I am still to broke to purchase one, but hopefully not for long ;)

So how about about you folks, what were some of the things you really liked in 2009?
