Wet Day

Had the kids from school over today for swimming and a BBQ on the last day of school. Graduation is tomorrow. They had a ball, though I thought it was too cold to swim, myself. Before we swam, we took them to Creek Park to have their annual waterfight. They bring squirt guns, super soakers and water balloons and run all over the park getting each other wet. It is something they love to do each year.

I'm firing another load in the kiln. Still doing mostly bunnies and apples for my Sister in law. I've come up with some goat and sheep pots that I think are really cute. They'll be online soon at

I keep adding stuff. I've sold some things. Help me get the word out, please. I'm trying to think ahead and do seasonal things. So far the cats are the biggest sellers. How could someone who hates cats as much as I do, be selling them more than anything else? I don't get it.

I have one point of redemption in my cat hatred, however. My friend Guy has ragdoll cats. I must admit they are better than most cats. They are very docile i.e. they don't scratch out my eyeballs and they like to be held. They are very pretty too. I gave him a ragdoll ceramic cat pencil sharpener. I made it just for him and it is the only one that exists in the entire world.

He has the coolest "cross wall" in his house. He took me up to see it last time I visited him. I had made him a cross, but mine was too small. You can see it at Clay2Glory. So, now that school is over I am going to work on making him a big one. I have to think out of the box on this one and make is special. He's been a great friend to me over these last several years.

I also stumbled across a great DVD on pottery that takes you through all the steps. It demonstrates some different techniques that I want to try. If you've never done pottery, you'll have to stop by and give it a try sometime. Very relaxing and really gets the creative juices going.

My sis in law tells me she's going to try some dog shows next. Bunnies, apples, dogs, oh my! Bunnies, apples, dogs, oh my! Bunnies, apples, dogs, oh my! Bunnies, apples, dogs, oh my!
