Babies, Blankets, Pets & More

I love seeing people use the things that I make for them. Seriously, it brings me such great joy. I finished up this Hexagon Blanket in June and was not sure who it was intended for. When my friend Bobbi received her daughter last week, I just knew the blanket was for her. I have seen a few pictures of her laying on it, and I LOVE it. Totally makes my heart happy!

 

 

Little Rylee is the sweetest thing ever. I was privileged enough to visit her twice already, including at her Meet & Greet yesterday. I love holding little ones, and cannot wait for the day when I have my own in my arms!

 

 

When Kai is in the house, the kitties pretty much stay up on the couch / away from her. They are usually out during the day, so I don't feel bad about this. However when Kai is outside, they think they rule the house again. Here is Halvsies in my craft room, he found the perfect spot! haha

 

 

This picture is two months old, but I still cannot believe Kai was ever so tiny!

 

 

Lastly, any guesses as to what I am making with these pom poms??

 

Finished Baby Blanket & a Visitor

I started this baby blanket last year. It kept getting thrown into the back of my crochet basket, because it did not have a recipient. A few months ago, I decided that I need to just woman up and finish it. Someone will have a baby that I can give it to. Or I can donate it (duh!). So I got out my hook, bought a second thing of yarn (because I ran out) and finished this project. Now, if only I hadn't started three more projects..

That leaves my current works in progress at six. Oy vey! Oh well, I'm going to be thankful that I finished this (because tomorrow is Thanksgiving, after all) and move on. Oh yeah, and update the project page for this sweet little blanket! Wanna know who else wanted to get in on this photo shoot...

Kitten! haha She just walked right on through my photoshoot. She really just wanted to get to the rock so she could scratch her back.

Hubs is looking at her thinking "what a weirdo," meanwhile, she must have spotted something in the distance.

Oh how pets can give us so much joy. These kittens are super quirky, but I LOVE them! :) Oh yeah, and they are over two years old, so they are definitely not kittens anymore. But they are still cute and cuddly!

Kitty Halloween

I made this Halloween costume for the cat the other day. It did not take very long, but the cat hates it! hahaha Here are some iPhone pictures of Skweaks in her costume (which will probably be taken apart soon).

Do you ever force your pets to wear clothing?

August Break, the 28th

Matt and I worked in the new garden today.  I looked up from where I was pulling weeds and mixing dirt and compost and saw the kitten just like this.

Oh what I wouldn't give to relax like that and have no qualms about it!

August Break, the 25th

I love sunflower seeds.... Halvsies loves to eat the shells that I spit into a cup...

August Break, the 11th

What is the opposite of claustrophobic?

Kitten Helpers

My aunt said my kittens have personality -- that is the truth!!  They both follow me around.  It's pretty cute.  They also hop into my lap when I sit down.  Matt's too.  That can be irritating if I am trying to crochet and they are pawing at the yarn, but that is the price you pay for the ones you love, right?  hehe 

The kittens (okay they are almost two years old -- not really kittens) also like small spaces.  Halvsies hopped off my lap and into this box the other day.  hahaha

There you have it -- two cats with a lot of personality!
