Well it came as a little bit of a shock to realise that basically I had only until Thursday to finish the stone hot water bottle.

I wonder why they call them stone, they were made of clay, but I digress…

We have progressed from this…

Into this

It will need a couple of coats of varnish on it, but for my first attempt at a foam stone hot water bottle it will have to do.

I will need to improve my sanding and glueing. The bottle was an awful less forgiving than this…
