  • The kittens don’t get ALL the attention. My little sweet potato lays on all my stuff so I have to notice him. (He still gets lots of love.) Finally, an ice photo.

  • Yay! Found my camera just before bedtime, in a perfectly logical place. Not in time for new photos, though. So here’s another book with a clay cover, inspired by the stones and cairns at Newgrange near Dublin, Ireland. Pablocito nursing his blanket.

  • Oops! I didn’t take any photos today, and I left my only working camera in the office. I’ll make do with previously taken photos. Miss Lucy is very sick again.

I can’t walk away from the laptop for a minute. I must admit that I like it when they do this, so I always leave their writings up.) It is…

  • Long time no see, friends. It’s a good thing. When I haven’t been working on my book cover and scroll box projects for my ceramics class, I’ve been relaxing. That’s right. I can relax now.

  • September was a wonderfully busy month. The first half was consumed by the planning and anticipation of seeing my relatives at our family reunion and my mother’s 90th birthday party. My aunt and first cousin came from Colorado to stay with my mother for ten days, during which time the bottom fell out (flooding) over…
