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.
Pepper is just over four pounds, so she has no problem pinning him down and washing his ears when he needs it.
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.
The turqoise sweater looks GREAT! Congrats! And thanks for more kitty pics - too cute!
ReplyDeleteYay on the sweater. And it does look great on her.
ReplyDeleteHey, 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
ReplyDeleteshape.) 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.
ReplyDeleteThe turquoise sweater is fabulous. You are a clever girl!
ReplyDeleteBen has stolen my heart, what a gorgeous boy. Tummy rubs for both your new boys Pepper and Ben.
That's gorgeous...someday, I will quilt again, I swear!!! But in the meantime, your design assistants served you very well, and I love to see your work!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah--and that sweater is AWESOME...you're so good, Roxie--someday, I will be that good!
ReplyDeleteOh isn't it lovely!! i love the detail!
ReplyDeleteFantastic quilt and jumper! And no, we never get sick of kitty pictures :D
ReplyDeleteWow what a gorgeous sweater! Always love kitty pix, yes, you betcha. Ben looks so innocently sweet. ::snicker:: And Pepper - my, washing and assisting, she's a busy girl. Love the artist's statement on the quilt!
