At last I am content with all that I have gained; A wild thing soothed and nurtured Instead of beaten down and chained. #catpainting #oilpainting #wildthing #cats (at Gozo (region)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR8hPAcjllR/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've been making "backpack pets" with the aim of packaging them under my very own BRAND Catherine's Cats. All I need now is brooch pins or even safety pins to complete them. And some packaging. Oh, and the courage and physical strength to go around the island asking shops to sell my products. I'm seeing my rheumatologist for autoimmune tests next week. Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of all my health problems soon so I can finally start being all the Catherine that I can be. #catherinescats #catpin #catdecoration #felties (at Gozo (region)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRQtithr2lB/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm super proud of my giant cat and my grumpy cat plant pots. And super grateful to my husband for carrying it in the heat to pottery class when it was just dry, delicate clay. And super happy that it didn't crack, explode or otherwise misbehave during the firing process. ❤️ Grumpy cat still needs a second firing but he'll have to wait for later in the year when class starts up again. #potteryplanters #plantpots #handmadeplanters #imadethis #cats (at Gozo (region)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ-zTHLLgHp/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last night I dreamed that three friends and I (people I've never met in real life) were on a quest. I was sticking to the hints given to us but my three companions kept trying to solve each stage of the quest in increasingly bizarre ways that just weren't working and were actually making the quest more difficult. Finally I'd had enough of their antics when the one dude started zipping himself into a yeti suit because we needed to go into a valley of yetis to find our next clue. The yetis in the valley were fitness freaks; we could see them doing jumping jacks on their construction sites. I chided the guy for his idea because he'd end up clowning around and insulting the yetis which meant we'd not get our next clue. Again. 🙄 I said, "You're trying to complete a picture puzzle with pieces from a different puzzle. Not only do you expect the pieces to fit but for the pictures to match too. If we don't all work together to complete one puzzle at a time we're just going to end up with a jumble of pieces that don't make any sense at all." That's when I decided to follow the goat with magic milk across the cliff side and parted ways with my wayward companions. Because in dream land that was the next logical step. Good thing I'd dyed the tips of my hair green too; just in case. #dreamstory #ipaintcats #catpaintings #watercolourpainting #catart #watercolourcats (at Gozo (region)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQiJQtOnFfp/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's a lot bigger than I expected. #thatswhatshesaid (at Gozo (region)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQEL1u4nel0/?utm_medium=tumblr

I made a cat mug! Propped up on sponges is my first attempt at "pulling" a handle. Let's hope it doesn't collapse or crack while drying. #catmug #handmademug #pottering #giantmug (at Gozo (region)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP-vCbGH81Z/?utm_medium=tumblr

New doodle book! This paper's rough and white so all my pens and pencils behave differently than in my last book, which had smooth, cream-colour pages. It makes my stationery feel new all over again even though some of my Stabilo pens need replacing because they're nearly used up and many of my favourite Derwent Coloursoft pencils are worn down to little stumps, (💙especially the blues💙). I'm looking forward to getting to know how they all behave in this book. I used my 0.5mm UniPin fineliner for the outlines of the singing kitty and it was as though the pen had found its soulmate in this paper. It's already my favourite doodling pen but I think I'll find myself enjoying it even more than usual on this paper. At Euro2.25 I feel like I can play all day in this book and not break the bank if I use up lots of pages. After all that gushing, is it obvious that I'm a happy lady? 😸 #newdoodlebook #newsketchbook #wholenewworld (at Gozo (region)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3i1sljyUo/?utm_medium=tumblr
