Tiny Kitties
Prepare yourself for an overload of cuteness.
These tiny kittens were photographed on the second day of their lives, having survived being born and left to the weather after Hurricane Humberto hit the Texas coast.
They were rescued by the amazing Fran, who takes in little creatures such as these and gives them the tender loving care they need.
Can I get a collective “Aaaawwwwww”? Thanks.
In stitching news, I am trying to get ready for the October Needlework Show. This means that I really need to do the finishing work on “Nina’s Sampler” a pink version of “Kolya’s Sampler”. Since brothers and sisters are different, “Nina’s Sampler” is different from “Kolya’s Sampler”; the quote is different, as is the size of the overall piece, and I’m planning on making the embellished version with different letters (this is what is holding the process up). Of course, now that I’ve done designs for my niece and nephew, my brother has informed me that another niece or nephew will arrive in December. I’m contemplating trying to do something new for the baby.
Also on the to-do list are more rainbow dragons (the Snowfight series), more dragons in general, and other stuff. The website also needs updating, and I need to paint some canvases, and continue with my experiment. Also, I have some other “things” that I’m experimenting with, but I can’t say more right now.
I took the plunge and signed up for a big (ok bigger for me) booth at winter TNNA. This is a scary prospect, because it just about doubles my booth cost for the show. Remember for designers that tradeshows are probably one of the biggest ongoing expenses of the business. I won’t mention how much I spend on ink in a given year. However, a tradeshow is an investment in personal advertising. Also, I’m teaching at least one class at the show, and I’m actually hoping that I’ll be teaching three!
In other news, the release of Halo 3 is being highly anticipated in our household. Personally, I’m a Simpsons: Road Rage kind of gamer, but I sometimes enjoy watching the amusing online action of Halo. It also intially inspired the Snowfight: Dragon series – Red vs. Blue was the initial premise of the first two designs. Tonight, I’m hoping to get a hour of TV time to watch Heroes. Are you confused since the game doesn’t come out until midnight? Here’s my problem: G4 is running an all-night TV countdown until the release of Halo 3 at midnight. Does this seem any crazier than the Harry Potter hype?
I’ll let you know tomorrow if I survived.
