Snowmen, Turkeys and a sick Turtle

We just got my 3 red eared slider turtles back from my mother's the other week...they reside in a man-made pond in her back yard during the summer. When it gets a bit chillier, they come inside to my place.

These turtles have been on a "time-share" for 4 years now. I would like to get them into a bigger tank, but with renting and space issues, I am not sure when that will happen. In the meantime, my 2 turtles (Leo and Raquel) and mom's 1 live in a big ol' Rubbermaid tote.

Big Boy has a neck infection, so every day I have to quarantine him after I jab him with a cotton swab full of silver sulfadiazine cream. He had the infection before and it healed up- thankfully I had a lot of the cream left.

I created two new "clay beings" designs last night- one is "Gobble"- a turkey for Thanksgiving, and then I also created a snowman named "Chilly." Trying to get out of this art funk I have been in, plus I really need to up my inventory because I will be trying to sell my wares at yet another craft fair on Columbus Day weekend. This one looks to be promising, as it will be on the grounds of a farm, where they sell the seasonal stuff like plants, flowers, pumpkins, etc.

I hope you all are enjoying this beautiful fall weather- this is definitely my favorite time of year!
