Kitty in a Blanket

This weekend I’m going to finish this flannel quilt.  Until then I’m having a hard time keeping the kitties off of it.

Happy Whisker’s on Wednesday.

Second Blocks

I created my second block for the quilts.  These gorgeous flying geese blocks.

1000

Hey – this is my 1000th post and it’s dedicated to Shadow who is happily cancer free.

Sorry Shadow you have to wear the cone.

He had a little surgery last week, but is doing really well.  He wants a little more lap time, but really he’s just his normal [...]

Max’s Yoda Sweater

"I'm so handsome in my new sweater."

"Finally! I get a sweater."

Here’s the Rav link.  This was really a fun project and happily it blocked out large since my gauge was off.  He pranced around the back yard ready for his close-up.  Big thanks to Lucky Penny Knits for a [...]

Lights…

I spent the weekend playing with my new speed-light (SB900), off camera lightening cord and Strobies portrait kit (I especially like the beauty dish bounced off the ceiling in the house).  I think actually I will probably need 2 speed-lights to make maximum use of the kit, but I’m waiting on the SB700 to come [...]

Nearly There

Yeah!  All the squares are done and now it’s onto collar and cuffs.

A completed Yoda sweater for Max is on the horizon.

Coco says she’s not jealous.  Happy Dog’s on Thursday.

Fall Means Fireplaces

Happy Whiskers on Wednesday.

Yeah for fall – we can now chill out in front of the fire on really cold mornings.

Sniff!  And guess who is really getting big.

Her eyes are really turning that deep copper color now.
