Pottery and Mr. Puss

Two separate pictures both related to pottery. The first one is a sneak peak at one of my pottery projects I had going during class in the Spring (classes will resume in September, yay). I can't reveal what the finished product will be, it may just turn into a gift for someone that reads this blog. I did'nt get a chance to finish it during my last class so I applied the three coats of glaze yesterday and will bring it back to my teacher for a last firing.


The next picture is of a very funky but awesome pitcher I thrifted at a yard sale on Sunday. I don't usually mention here how much I pay for thrifted items but this time I have to say it ''10 cents; a dime'' isn't that amazing. It holds about 1.5 cups. It would be a perfect vessel to hold maple syrup for pancakes on a cold winter morning. This is one of my favorite items found in a very long time.

Mr. Puss is still visiting while his parents are vacationing in the States.

Something I know I will love :: chicken coop

My handy carpenter's knee is all well and healed so today Dave insulated the outside walls of the coop (I might start calling this the Chicken Mansion).

What love is all about :: Happy 31st anniversary to my favorite carpenter.

This man let's me be ''myself'', he sees no fault in anyone, is funny, very talented musician and artist, loves his two kids with all his heart... he's my best friend.

Because I love my backyard...

... that is the main reason for my post tonight, to share nature's beauty with you and to thank all those that leave comments on this blog. I appreciate each and every one of them.

An hour ago while Dave was hammering away in the chicken coop.



To give you a perspective on the location of the chicken coop in the gardens... you see it way back there. I take my chickens seriously ! After two weeks of coming up with names for the soon to arrive girls, we have six names picked out and they are good ones.

Happy Friday tomorrow and I'll speak to you over the weekend where I will reveal the names of the girls.

P.S. I planted spinach tonight in one of those boxes.

Chicken coop :: taking shape

Dave has been working on the chicken coop almost non-stop since Friday. We have a visitor...

It is progressing so well; starting to take shape and looking like a small building.
