| cat planter |
I finally got to the Ceramic shop (which is way across town... and to our dismay was also the same day that VP Pence was flying into town... got stuck in traffic for almost 2 hours when it should have taken 30 mins... ugh!)
Anyway, I stocked up on more underglazes so I could continue with previous projects. Had run out of black so am just finishing up on the cat planter I had made a while back. He needs one more coat then I can fire him.
Not much else going on. I'm continuing this on Sunday which is also Father's Day!
Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there!
DH wants to go to Braum's this afternoon... so we'll be heading there in a little bit. I'll take some pics of our ice-cream choices (if I can remember to do so) and post them.

I've got a chicken, bacon, and broccoli quiche in the oven now. Should be ready in about 45 mins. I have made this quiche many times and we really like it... but this time I added bacon because grandson is really a fan (actually added bacon and reduced the broccoli).
That's about it for our weekend. I worked on my windchimes at the studio Saturday and finished a few more chickens. Oh... I could mention that one of my pottery friends who is/was planning on moving to the big Island of Hawaii.... and just purchased her house there last January (in the area that is now for the most part covered in lava ) keeps us updated on what is going on. She is back in Dallas now. Her house is still standing, but the area is restricted.She has a friend who is no longer able to get to his house - so is living in hers for the time being. The pictures he sends are unbelievable. She says that even if her house survives, the government may deem the area uninhabitable... and they don't know what the insurance companies will do. As you can imagine, she's pretty worried.
Hope you all had a Happy Father's Day weekend!
love the cat planter, I can't imagine losing my house and the money tied up in it wouldn't be able to afford rent as high as they are. sad
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. As for the Hawaii situation, it's not good... even the insurance companies don't know what they will be doing.
DeleteI remember looking at a Condo on the big island when I was younger and then walking to the balcony and seeing an old lava flow just down the hill and realizing that this was no place to purchase real estate.
ReplyDeleteIt is a scary reality...
DeleteHot fudge. So tempting...
ReplyDeleteWe love hot fudge, Joanne. We get chocolate chunk peanut butter ice-cream with hot fudge and a little strawberry topping! So-oo good!
DeleteI adore that cat planter. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd because it's been hot (for us) here this weekend, I've been craving ice cream! Your photo just makes the craving worse. Ha.
I'm very sorry about your friend's situation, and everyone impacted. I can't imagine the devastation...what a nightmare on so many levels, including the bureaucratic one from the insurance companies.
Thanks, Kim. I hope the cat planter survives the kiln. As for my friend's house in Hawaii, it's a strange situation that's for sure. And not knowing how long all this will go on is difficult too.
DeleteYour cat planter is adorable. Looks like somebody I know, I think. And the story about the house in Hawaii is really sad. :-(
ReplyDeleteTrue, DJan. The cat planter has a strange resemblance to Tux... and since he is always by my side, he's implanted on my brain.
DeleteSounds like a very peasant weekend to me. It is sad, devastating really, about the big island of Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Olga. And yes, it is sad about what is going on in Hawaii...
DeleteThe planter looks a lot like Mickey, who passed a few years ago. It's handsome and so was he.
ReplyDeleteI guess the media got tired of reporting about the lava flow but it isn't over nor is the grief it will leave behind. Sure hope your friend can salvage some of her property.
I hope so too, Patti. It may be a while before anyone knows anything.
DeleteDear Rian, you and I are so fortunate that we have a passion--some would say a hobby--that we enjoy and that keeps us occupied with possibilities. I so like your planter! Peace.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dee. I feel that way too. Whether writing, sketching, watercoloring, quilting, or making sculptures from clay.... the process is extremely enjoyable.
