Catladydi Gone to the Dog!

Abbey is our newest member of the family!  She is part Australian Shepherd, part Border Collie.  She has totally taken over the house and our hearts!

I knew dogs needed more attention than cats and now that I am retired and can devote time to her, it was time to get a pup!  Abbey is a very easy going pup and fits right in with our family.

Abbey is a working dog and knows when it is time to feed the chickens and get the mail.  She gets me out more and that is a good thing.  She and the cats get along quite well (they are all in the kitchen at dinner time and eat together).

I can't imagine life without her!

Class projects done!

Now I can concentrate on new projects!

Cat Plaque Done!

I love how the cat plaque turned out:  I used Duncan Concepts Sprinkles under gloss for the cat (ginger sprinkles, briarwood sprinkles and black sprinkles)

I used 3 coats of underglaze and 3 coats of glaze!

Now that I know how the underglaze turns out, I am ready to try a couple of more cats for the walls!
