happy halloween~ new work in progress, fall forest

so last evening, we returned home to see a black cat {who we spooked} in our yard... i think he was hunting.

 black cat- halloween- superstition! i loved it!

.........................

not the clearest photo... shiny silver pieces awaiting the tumbler & patina bath. 

there are new items, i can't wait to list in the shop!

fern lined fall pathway. my home.

rainy days and mondays always get me down

a cold and rainy Monday greeted us today. 

on days like this, i usually wake up and realize i can't move.

my one leg is being held captive by the cat {who is only there because he is cold}. 

and the other side is sandwiched in by the husband~ who is reluctant to face any part of a monday at all without a pronounced curse. 

the day was pretty much a drag for the most part. until i saw my etsy treasury. 

and wow eight, 8! of the 16 items sold!

oh orange marmalade kitties!

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!

oh autumn... out and about

the dog had a good run, as did we. 

(well, fast paced walk)

i was instantly reminded how much i love autumn.
