Catitation (Catfulness)

I feel the weight of the cat on my legs
I hear the rumble of his purr
I see his eyes blinking at me
I feel his soft fur under my hands
Stroking the cat, I know I am stroking the cat
And I enjoy every moment of it.

#TactileTuesday: The Cat and the Bear

The Cat and the Bear and the Fuzzy Cat Tree. Nefie is a little unimpressed at having to share her perch.

#WordlessWednesday: Fixing the Freezer

“There’s the issue, I think.”
“Try the section back there.”
“Let me see, yes, just up there! Good job, Human.”

  • Soft Launch and Meatloaves (with Recipe!)
  • The Garden of Good Things
  • Clay Palooza and Imposter Syndrome
  • It’s Another Book!
  • Apple Bowl Cottage, or: The Comfort of Story
So I am - taa-daah! - letting out my inner Granny G'nome at the 4 Wands Faerie & Fantasy Fair in Sidney, BC, this weekend. Guess where we're going? I even got the T-shirt - ahead of time at a Value Village in Surrey (score!). It's a new book! Available today! New post on the blog: "Clay Palooza and Imposter Syndrome". On how being asked to be on the discussion panel at #Claypalooza triggered a big case of Imposter Syndrome, and what came of it. #Claypalooza at Vernon Community Arts Centre @vernonarts was awesome! My mug on a mug won second place (by half a point) in the "Handbuild a Mug in 15 Minutes" challenge, and our team, "The Others", won first place (also by half a point) in the "Team-build a Trophy" contest. I got to be on a discussion panel with master potter Bob Kingsmill, which was a huge honour. So much fun, so many good vibes. Pottery People are the best. Happy Day-to-Enjoy-People-You-Love! ♥️ Come to the Vernon Arts Centre for Claypalooza! I'll be on the Q&A Panel and participating in a "handbuilt mug" challenge. It'll be fun! Drummm Rolllllll: The new edition of CAT & MOUSE is out! New post on the blog: "Apple Bowl Cottage, or: The Comfort of Story." On how a little ceramic fairy house brightened the gloomy day today. (No, I don't know the fairy's name. Maybe you could find out?)
