Welcome to my little corner of the world where the cattle graze in the pastures, gardens are being tended to, family is gathering and pottery is being made.

2020

2020

How in the world did it get to be 2020 already?  I remember as a kid, thinking 2020 was a million years away.  That we would all be riding in Jetson cars, have robots and drive through showers. I try to keep up with technology the best I can.  We do have a robot...

Friends

Friends

Isn't it amazing how people come together?  How a stranger becomes a dear friend?  How one small hello turns into a 3 hour conversation.   My second cousin, Pat, was my first  and best friend, she continues to be so to this day.  We may not see each other but...

As such a time as this.

As such a time as this.

Life can be a bit tiring sometimes.  With the news blasting 24 hours a day, hateful opinions, rudeness and dramatic sensationalism, it wears me out! I believe that we must possess the spiritual strength to overcome these challenges. To look for goodness and kindness....

Fall Pottery Line

Fall Pottery Line

I have been behind in getting my fall pottery line out. It seems like I have been running in circles lately.  Nothing bad, just very busy. But I do have some pretty cool stuff about to be loaded in my Etsy shop! Since you have signed up for my newsletter, I will tell...

Changing seasons

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, Summer is an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of all of them." Stanley Horowitz I love fall. I am that obnoxious person who puts up fall decorations on September 1st. I have always loved fall since I was a child. Raking...

Untie

Untie

I read a quote not long ago "Don't cut what you can untie".  At the time, it just meant to not cut the pretty ribbon, to untie it and save it. I have a drawer full of ribbons, twine, cords and wire that I have untwisted and saved. I use most of them. Some I am saving...

Summer Sale

I am having a summer sale! It is 107 degrees in central Texas today.  I am so ready for cooler temperatures! Come September 1st, I don’t care if it is 110 degrees outside, I will be putting a fall wreath on our gate. I am almost giddy thinking of fall and all that...

Family

I have a family reunion coming up in September. I haven't been to one in years. I was always too busy, couldn't take time off from work or just couldn't get away. I feel ashamed that I didn't take the time. In the past five years, both of my parents have passed away,...

Inspired by nature

My motto for my fat cow studio is "Inspired by the country life". But it is more inspired by nature that comes with living in the country. I have always loved the outdoors, fresh air, flowers, animals and insects..(to a point). This past year I decided to take my...

Sweet summertime

Sweet summertime

Summer is in full swing. Every year, I hope we have a mild summer. Every year, I am wrong. But then again, I live in Texas where it is hot, especially in the summer. This past spring was glorious!  We had lots of rain that brought on an abundance of wildflowers. Texas...
