christmas for cat. sad the holidays are ending.

overexposed, but not commercialized.

my simple Christmas tree with pinecones & glitter, and a crocheted garland.

she loved her present! 

and such a funny thing she is!

my future herb garden & growing kitty cats

yay! i went on an herb shopping spree this weekend...

peppermint, rosemary, marjoram, variegated spearmint, greek oregano, lavender, chives, purple sage, thyme, 

basil, a no-name mystery?, parsley, irish moss {non-herb, but had to have it!}, and finally dill. whew!

and this: 

telling me i'm taking too long getting my baskets planted...

meet mr. brooklyn

i thought that he needed a proper introduction!

my sis rescued him from the streets of the city a couple of months ago.

he needed immediate medical attention, as his paw was completely mangled. 

miraculously, he has healed well and gets around just fine!

while my mother and i were driving him to his new home (with her),  she said, "...that's his name, Brooklyn".

{well, and we were listening to the Avett Brothers. :) }

golden post

oh orange marmalade kitties!

{photo found on ffffound!}

some bronze pieces ready to go into the kiln. 

i can't wait to see the patinas~ i still 'ooohhh & ahhh' when i fish them out of the coals!

... and well, & the occasional frustrated moment... of not being able to find that really small, elusive piece that's seems forever lost.

{my sweet marjji ginger kitty looks on... i love her...}

i am on a fox crazzzze!

my studio buddy

mao, having a seat with me while i was working.

he was recovering from a tantrum. 

i let him have a taste of  'outside' since i was sifting my bronze pieces out of the coal carbon.

he was not happy when it was time to go in!

see- he's really a viper!
