She may eventually paint it another color but she's decided to live with it awhile first. Linda also found a piece of Japanese porcelain that she liked. Lovely. It was definitely her day for bargains. Duane and I actually ended up only spending money on our lunch which is fine since we love the 'hunt' as much as a 'buy.' We had lunch at one of our favorite places -- The Front Porch. Great food and nice atmosphere in an old house that was converted to a restaurant. 
In the days leading up to Christmas I was busy working away on various 'yarn projects.' I finished the three Santa ornaments for my nieces and then I started on two kitty toys for my nephew Sam's cats. Then my sister Pam asked if I'd mind making a third toy for her to give to her boyfriend's cat, Smudge. So I ended up making three goldfish (with catnip centers, yum). They're crocheted and they actually worked up pretty quickly although I felt like I was getting down to the wire time-wise. The black string coming from the mouth of the goldfish is there so that you can dangle it in front of your cat to pique his/her interest. Hope it works. Here's the pattern I used.I'm also getting back into recording. I'm currently working on a mystery. Have to get cracking on chapter 3 on this one tomorrow.
Love the little goldfish--the cats will love it, especially with the catnip.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope they do. Sam didn't want to let his cats have them because he was afraid they'd tear them up. I told him that acrylic yarn is pretty tough and, besides, I made them FOR the cats. If they tear them up at least they'll have had a good time. :)
ReplyDeleteReally. Tell Sam to lighten up.
ReplyDeleteI wish... :P
