Tangles

Monday

Here are the photos I promised yesterday.  The first is the beginning of the Dream in Color sweater.  The color is very washed out, but Photoshop Elements is still not working and cropping is the best I could do for tonight.

I went on to do about one inch of the ribbing later in the day.  We are starting up a crafty lunchtime group at work and I plan hope to make some good progress there on Thursday.  There are a couple of beginner knitters in the group, so I may not have a chance to work on my project while helping with theirs, but that's o.k.

This is a new picture of the mo$t expen$ive cat in the house.  Shorty is feeling better and seems to be accepting the fact that I'm sticking an eye dropper of antibiotics down his throat twice a day.

An expensive Friday

I had to take Shorty to the vet this afternoon.  He has crystals in his bladder/kidney area and is one unhappy kitty.  Tests are being run to find out if his kidneys can handle the special food needed to dissolve the crystals.  Poor boy even had to have a small patch of skin shaved to be able to have blood drawn.  I have the please of trying to get liquid medication into his stubborn little mouth twice a day.  All of this has cost over $300 so far.  I'm afraid to find out what the special diet will cost, if that's the way we have to go.  It's a good thing that there was no Black Friday shopping planned for today.

The new sock is coming along nicely, but I'll save the photo for tomorrow's post.

I almost forgot to mention that I took the photo of my SP goodies outside on my comforter.  It is outside on the laundry rack due to an upset kitty stomach last night.  Yuck!!  It did make for a nice backdrop, though.

Here's a photo of Oreo from last night.  She looks so cute when sleeping on her back with all four paws up in the air.  Of course, the cuter pose was missed because she woke up and started to roll over as soon as the camera was turned on.

Time-Out

Something about this pose struck me as funny--Shorty was looking for birds and sat in the corner for a long time.

Here's my second post using Flickr.  That's Shorty demonstrating the new cat mat I made from Lamb's Pride.

Oreo has done many goofy things in her life, but I think tonight tops them all.  I looked down just as she was climbing into the little wastebasket we have here in the living room. 

      

What was she thinking, anyway??

I haven't shown you a cat picture in quite awhile. Here's one that I took last night. Oreo loves to lay on paper of any type. The pink paper was the packing in my latest order from Joann.com. This girly cat apparently has a thing for pink:
