Weekend Update
Urm, from last weekend. I seem to have left my blogging mojo somewhere, and can’t seem to find it. It doesn’t help that I’ve been busy like a bee lately at work and haven’t really crafted much recently.
A friend of mine from way-back-when visited last weekend, and I showed her all around Houston. Which means we left town. We didn’t go far – we drove down to Galveston for the day to check out the Moody Gardens aquarium (I heart aquariums with big red poofy hearts!), the shore (windy!), and an Amy-guided tour of the island (rainy!).
The Mardi Gras arches were meant as a temporary exhibit, 20+ years later one is still standing. The girls can be seen here partying like it’s March.
Ok, I did show other-Amy a bit of Houston, mostly unphotogenic things like shopping and drinking. We also checked out the Mercer Arboretum before she left.
Pretty and spikey! The Arboretum would be the perfect place to visit in spring, when the lilies are actually blooming. It’s easy to forget that it’s autumn when it’s 90 and humid. I miss the gorgeous colors of the northeast fall so much! I seriously can’t wait for the day when we leave Texas. See ya, TX, wouldn’t want to be ya!
In kitten news, we’re down to a pair of black kittens! Meredith has been invaluable for sending suckers over to our house to adopt the others. Bruce and Jet continue being adorable and have become super buddies.
Aww! The cats are all big cuties until you leave your yarn lying around.
I’m usually very good about keeping the yarn behind closed doors since Silver loves to gnaw on it. This will teach me to forget! Whoever did this did an excellent job of running around the chair and table – it was so bad that I needed to cut it. Thanks, cats, for putting the tangle in my Tangled Yoke cardigan!

Ack! My dog dig that to my yarn once too. I didn’t speak to him for a couple of days.
BAD KITTIES! oh, but they’re so *cute*…
Love the Mardi Gras arch — very cool.
My daughter did that once. Good thing she’s cute.
This drives me crazy. I hear my cat Maddy plucking at my yarn bin last night and was too lazy to get up and do anything about it. This morning there was a skein of hemp-wool somehow taken out of its baggie. It looked very forlorn and ruffled up on the floor. Gar! She tends to pick and choose her skeins from my stash…rummaging underneath the more available ones on top for her favorites.
Naughty cats! They are cute though.
Rascally rapscallions! But they sure are cute…
Oh my. Those kitties had some fun.
My cat has gotten her claws in some balls yarn but has never done that. She is missing out on some fun. :)
Oh no! Did you manage to untangle it all?
YES! The Iron Work Socks are mine! MWHAHAHA! …thank you for offering the pattern to the rest of the world! I love these socks and, despite my budget, I think I will be buying some new sock wool TODAY for these! Wonderful work.
My cats don’t go through my yarn stash (thank god) but they do go through my fabric stash. One of my cats (cute black one like the angels/devils you pictured above) when through my fabric and found a piece of cow-print fabric and dragged it around the house. I put it away, and he pulled it out again. So I put it away and moved the stash. Well, he found it and pulled it out again. So I gave up. He can have his cow print. He drags it around the house like a security blanket. Sometimes it ends up in his food dish. I think God made these guys so cute so we won’t kill them when they do stuff like that!!
i am so thankful that i don’t have pets. But my roomba did that to me once…
