fat cow blog
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.

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
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
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...

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...
Roots of my raising
I was on my way to work early this morning, listing to old country music station. A song came on that I haven't heard in years. It was "The roots of my raising" by Merle Haggard from 1976. In 1976, I was graduating from high school and listening to the Eagles,...
