I just don't understand why Auntie Shell thinks I'm a high strung Siamese cat......isn't a picture worth a thousand words ----- surely I'm a laid back cat.

Done

Finally finished this pillow. The embroidery stitches are worked on hand dyed wool that I purchased at The Dorr Store in Guild, NH. For the stitches, I used embroidery floss, wool crewel yarn, metallic thread and a few beads.

Pretty in Pink

Some "spring" color in our yard. Actually, these shrubs have been in bloom off and on since last fall.

Breakfast

Some Florida marmalade ----- Tangelo and Lime.

A Winter Hat

My interpretation of a northern New England winter sky. The fibers are Harrisville Design's shetland and a mohair/silk combination. The silk gives it a nice bit of shine. For this hat I did twenty-two color changes.

BJP 2009

December is in honor of my older sister. The thread used for the embroidery is a silk buttonhole twist that she used on a wool suit that she made while in college.

January is in honor of my grandmother, Ida. The central portion is a button from her collection.

February is in honor of the five cats I've had the pleasure of sharing my life with.

The Pond

For this knitting challenge, the pond out back provided inspiration. I am using seven colors - one variegated, three greens and three blues. The knitted piece has a nice murky look to it the way the water does.
