Gracie, celebrates Grace the second, a sweet, petite tabby. She passed on in 1989, and so she is remembered very fondly.

That is a very lovely cat, I really enjoy her peaceful face expression. What a nice way to be commemorated. On the photo it almost looks like ceramics, with the smooth surface, and despite the fact that it’s obviously a wood carving. Beautiful work!
Oh, thank you. She was a sweet little being. I’ll pass your kind works on to the carver.
Nice.. 🙂
Followed your link to read the story behind the Christmas tree stump carvings. How charming! Thanks for sharing the carvings and the story.
So happy you enjoyed them.
A very fine feline! More elegant work from your husband, and what projects do you work on together?
The most consuming Amal-our kids:)
Aw bless!
very nice, Elena.
purrfect.
Ha ha ha , How cute ! I like it.
