Ben likes to snuggle right up next to DH and help him watch TV. He is the sweetest, softest, tiny baby. Just over 2 pounds.

I finally finished the turquoise sweater yesterday! I was at our writing critique group, and MJ, who is slim and petite, agreed to model it for me. Gosh, it looks great on a live person! MJ makes it look stylin'!

I have been jonesing for a little sewing fun, so I got out the entire stash and started slapping stuff together. Here, one of my design assistants inspects the field of play.

Disappearing nine-patch with some mistakes. I embrace my mistakes! If I didn't, I'd never get anything done. Divergent assemblies add charm and whimsey to otherwise pedestrian work. this needs borders. They'll come.

Yay on the sweater. And it does look great on her.
Hey, quilting. I'm getting my stuff together to make a new one, too. Hmmm...maybe we need a knitter's quilt challenge or something? Maybe?

Interesting. Your Disappearing 9-patch forms a Brigid's Cross pattern (the four-armed pale pink
shape.) Talk about Proto-Indo-European...
How about some full-face shots of Pepper? Is she not so cooperative with photos? Clearly Ben thinks having his photo taken is great. So would I if I were that photogenic!

Awwww. Such sweet little cats. And such lovely work, both the sweater and the quilt! Divergent assemblies juxtaposed with a synthesis of color values.

Ben has stolen my heart, what a gorgeous boy. Tummy rubs for both your new boys Pepper and Ben.
