Mother's day promises

I treated the MOTHER OF MY DOG and cat to the best of everything yesterday AND there will be more to come:  she said vaguely the other day "this watering can STINKS...could you make me one???" and there is only one way to answer that:  with silence!  The wheels begin to turn and you think "well, if I made an elephant creamer-pitcher (more on that this week) with a watering can spout....HUZZAH!"

SO, yesterday I am sneaking around and having fun listening to noisy rock and roll and produce.....THIS.

Now that's a cool way to celebrate mothers day!

Waiting to see it glazed!

That is the cat's meow, sorry Spike. Well, it is definitely a superior watering can! Whoo hoo!

I love it! Think you'll sell them in your Etsy shop??

It's lovely, but can she lift it?

I was thinking about the selling part, as in "this thing is so big and so much work went into it, we are talking, like, a 70 dollar watering can" :)

Hilary said...

Oh my, so cute! What does it weigh? Could a person take one home as carry-on luggage on a plane? Perhaps a cat watering can? Thinking ahead to my June trip....Ithaca is still on the list but I think Syracuse has been replaced by Troy.
