today my wee little muffin said to me:

(Spike in the bathtub, PENNY's wee little belly, various pots being finished and glazed by Gary Rith)
Our cats love to play in the bath tub, esp. when its wet, and get into the soap dish and whatnot. And Penny is adorable. ALL the time.
I am glazing heart mugs and just finished the 2 mugs here which make me feel all gushy inside because despite being COLD I am doing some good and FUN work.

So my wee little muffin is about to run down to the bus and off to work and I hold up this little vase with the inchworm and turtle and she says:
"OH! Who is that for?"
and reading her mind and THINKING FAST I say:
"Oh! It is for you on Valentine's, but don't tell anyone"
