Dali’s Adventure

So, I’m just sitting at my desk, minding my own business when I hear a tiny squeek. Ohhhh….man. I know what that means. Dali is not in the pretty little basket that I fixed for her to have her babies in, back in the laundry room.

Nooooo….she’s laying in the kitty couch…in the family room. On closer inspection,  I see that she already has a teeny little baby snuggled in with her! What the heck?!!!

Nothing shy about this girl! Instead of hiding away somewhere she is in the middle of the room with both Hobbes AND Lyla asleep just a few feet away

There is absolutely NO CHANCE that she and a few babies would ever fit in that silly thing.

So bizarre.

In a panic, I got very, very brave and picked up the whole couch and put it all in the laundry room basket where I wanted her to be, in the first place. Scooting her off the couch and into the basket–while she is still in the birthing mode was quite the feat–let me tell you! But she was awesome and we did it.

She very quickly had two more babies–three total. We have a brown stripe, a black stripe and a solid black.

SOOOOO cute!!!

She seems comfortable and content.

Now if she’ll only stay put.

Fingers crossed.

Warrior Link

Jacob asked me if I could make a Link from Legends of Zelda—

only in full Warrior gear.

What an amazing challenge it was!

I had a pattern for the basic Link character–which I made for my grandson a while back…

but there was NOOOO pattern for this.

And you know, I think I loved it even more because I had to figure it all out myself.

Even down to the Korok seed in his back pouch…

and teeny earring in his pointed ears.

The skull mask was particularly fun with it’s hair, braids, teeth…

and creepy horns. Link even has his stomach tattoos and medallions.

A TON of work but I loved every second of it.

All for you Jacob!!

love,

Wise Old Hobbes

Old Mister Hobbes. Such a wise, deep thinking fellow.

So wise, in fact that he understands every….single….word that I say.

Not so wise, however, that he realizes that I don’t understand ANYthing he is EVER saying…or doing, for that matter.

Case in point.

Haha. Hobbes–you are a funny little duck.

We love you.

 

Stained Glass Kitty

Oh, my gosh….you guys!

I haven’t had this much fun putting a puzzle together in a long, long time!

All the lines made it much easier than you’d think. In fact, it came together in less than a week!

And my favorite part?

That shiny, pink nose.

Heh, heh.

Road Trip To Beaver, Utah

Miss Chomp needed more road hours in order to past her driving class…

so, what better way than to take a 2-1/2 hour road trip to a couple of favorite spots in Beaver, Utah?!!

Being the “foodie” girl that Lyndi is, she knew exactly where we needed to go!

Even out in the middle of nowhere, it’s still beautiful country.

Ahhhhh–our destination is in sight!!

Ok, well, the billboard for our destination is in sight. It’s something at least!

Yummy food–here we come!!

Luckily, there was no one in front of us because we were hungry!

Sweet Lyndi…

got cheese curds and sauce. Ooooh.

 

Magoo and Lyndi both got Tetris Fries…

which even fit together. It was such a challenge. haha.

I ordered a lovely little cheeseburger with extra pickles and they really humored me. Look at that pile of pickles!!

Yeah, we totally waddled out of that place full to the brim and happy as a pile of clams. Oh, but don’t you worry Crazy Cow–we’ll be back soon.

YUM!
