Shiny and New

Hello my lovely readers! I am so sorry it has been an absolute age since I last posted anything.... (hangs head in shame) As you know I'm not really a talky one and busy-ness has been my best friend of late. BUT I am here with news and I hope you will join me in the celebration of it!

I have completed my website!!!! Finally after all this time it is finished and looking shiny and all new!!
Please take a look - www.catsceramics.co.uk

The blog has now been sent back to the blogger url (of www.catsceramics.blogspot.co.uk) so I hope you are still able to follow it ok from your dashboard. If it's being funny just re-follow (if that's a word) and it should work fine from there.
I will be scaling down and refreshing the look of the blog over the coming days so it can go back to being the expressive musingly beautiful place it's meant to be as bless it's little heart, it has been working it's socks off for me acting as blog extraordinaire AND informative website and doing a fine job of it too. But it is time for it to relax and put it's little feet up and just be the online floaty diary that it was always destined to be.

So please come and see my new website and please keep reading and enjoying the going on's at Cat's Ceramics on the blog here. I hope the long awaited spring weather is bringing with it a renewed sense of optimist to all and you are all keeping well, I have missed you.

P.S. You can also stay in touch on our Facebook page

All the Best

Spring Will Come....?

The first snowdrops of the year!!

I was so excited when I found these little things just poking their heads out of the dirt.

It calms my mind that spring will be here soon. Winter is hard and cold. It's difficult for me to make in the freezing weather. The clay get's soggy and there are slim pickings around for natures impressions into the clay.

It's been easier this year though cause I'm in the house now (much to the amusement of my fellow potter friends who say I'm now a sissy). But it's nice being able to get work made and dried in a reasonable amount of time rather than waiting weeks and weeks. Particularly as these first few months of the year are when most of the work for at least the first half of the year needs to get made.

I've been organising myself with exhibitions and shows and things are booking up already. It looks to be a busy year, 2013!

I've also started doing a year long project that I'm really excited about. I don't want to divulge too much as it needs to be all completed before I put it out there. But it's a purely artistic exploration really that I hope will work as an entity when it's done.

I'll give you a clue.....

Any ideas?

Also the Sales' still going on in my Folksy shop and there are many gardening items greatly reduced to make way for the new year stock that should be coming along soon.

These Ladybird Plant Markers and others, have a look http://folksy.com/shops/CatsCeramics

It get's me dreaming about being in the garden again. I can't wait to get out there. I've started thinking about what we might grow this year.

I'm liking this idea of swathes of fennel and borage tumbling over the place.

Arrhh bring on Spring.....please....
