Memphis got insanely lucky this weekend, missing a dire ice storm by a matter of miles. We're still pretty sleeted and iced in at home, but the city kept power, and I am grateful. I took advantage of a quiet morning to print this new cat block that I carved a little while ago. I'm very dog focused, and Henry is my main muse, but I decided it was time to reach out to the cat folks a little. This is Gracie, my partner's cat, from a photo he sent me that felt utterly charming. Once these are dry I'll sign them and maybe add my small red chop with my carved initials, but I'll play with it on newsprint and make sure I like the placement before making a final decision.

In dog news, Henry and I clumped across the road to an open lot/informal neighborhood park and let him run around a little.
