Pottery. Photography. And All Things Handmade.
The back porch has a half dozen handmade pet dishes filled to the brim with cool fresh water. I made them just for her, Miss Kitty. She prefers drinking from the Tonka dump truck. It used to be our son's now it's our grandson's Miss Kitty's. So, I keep it filled with cool fresh water.... Continue Reading →

Now, December is upon us as well snow . . . . . .and baking season. Cookies, breads and pies are not the only things baking this month. I have a few more... Continue Reading →
Over the past few months the need for a shallow cat dish became apparent. Miss Kitty,17 years young, refused to eat out of her regular cat bowl. I thought it was her food but learned it was her food dish. She developed whisker stress. Whiskers are extremely sensitive, and when a food bowl is too... Continue Reading →
Miss Kitty and I are enjoying today's heat wave of 65 degrees! While Miss Kitty roams around the back yard, I set to work on my new molds.

Not sure what happened because I used the same technique as all the others. Looks like our cats may get a few... Continue Reading →

As I logged onto Etsy I found a delightful message in my inbox from Suzy, a fellow Etsyian, who wanted to let me know she was featuring... Continue Reading →
My daughter's cat, has been close to me all week; literally. She never paid me any attention until now. She's even keeping me company on my back porch studio - bringing me all sorts of "treats" like birds and mice to try to cheer me up! UPDATE: 7/25 Did a bisque firing today. She did...
