The Pollen, my friends, is blowing in the wind

The Pollen is blowing in the wind!

This is my Greyhound



She made pollen angels today on the deck!



See it? Her rump was on the left, her head on the right. You can even see the outline of her mouth!


I need to sweep tomorrow.

Addition Complete!

Porch Constructed? Check

Painted and Stained? Check

New Gutter to help get rid of swamp in back yard? Check

Cleaned up work site? Crap.

Okay, so chairs and planters are there because we wanted to keep Callay off of the porch while it dried. I guess I should go move them now. I'll post a new picture with an AM shot, when the sun is better for good exposure.

Perfectly Sized Slippers!

Here's the after shot! Boy, are they warm! I guess that's what happens when you use 2 strands of worsted weight wool and then felt it. I love the way the colors turned out from the Kool-Aid yarn. I may do even more experimenting on these and do some needle felting onto them. That could be neat. Maybe a Kool-Aid man on the toe!

Rediculously Huge Slippers!

Here they are pre-felting. I will be felting them this afternoon and will post after shots!

Almost there!

Here's Friday's picture and Saturday Morning. Doesn't look like the guys did a ton of work, but that's because most of the work was wiring and boxing in the bay window. They put the fan support in the wrong place, but I guess they'll have to fix that today or Monday.

Oh, and Callay, the greyhound, slipped out while they were loading their trucks up to leave. She pushed past the barrier and was off. Luckily she stopped to try and tangle with a cat, and the distraction allowed the guys to catch her again. They're very lucky and I had a long conversation with them again about how fast greyhounds are and how they should just use the dog door plate like I"d said. grrr. I"ll have a talk with the main guy about it when he comes today to fix the fan.

Shingles!

I promised Shingles, and here they are! It should be done this Friday, everything but the painting.
