New Toy
So, after saving my pennies forever, I was finally able to splurge on a new Digital SLR camera. It isn’t really a splurge, because it will get lots of use taking pictures of stitching model, and we already have a bunch of lenses from a short stint of portrait/event photography a few years ago.
Here’s [...]

Another ATC and other randomness
I finally did the finishing work on my second ATC for class this week:
I’ll try to remeber to take a picture of the back as well – I ended up stitching part of my Cross Eyed Kat business card on the back. This has the advantage of keeping all my contact information on the [...]

Stitching accomplishments
I got some stitching on my green monster done last week:
Actually, this picture is about a week old and I finally have some colors other than greens stitched. Although, the new stitching is in shades of brown, so it isn’t much improvement. Green is my favorite color, but stitching green leaves on a [...]

Mocha got the Mickey
Yesterday, Mocha had to visit the vet for her yearly check-up and shots. This is never fun for Mocha, me or the vet. I have some sleepy-time pills that previous years have been spit out, dissolved in tuna juice (only partially worked), or just not even tried. This time I tried dissolving [...]

Meow Meow Meow!
I woke up this morning to Mocha (that’s the cat) meowing up a storm. Sometimes she meows just because she wants attention or wants her bowl filled, but this time I could tell it was different. As soon as I opened up the door, she scampered away towards the front of the house. [...]

Leap Day!
Creativity is like fire; when the fire of creativity is burning, it is easy to keep it going, when it isn’t burning, it is hard to get the fire started. Right now, I am on fire. Which means I have to work to keep from jumping around to different fires, I do better [...]

Progress?
As promised, here are my progress pictures, on an as-yet-undisclosed design.
This is what it looked like on Saturday night:
And this is what it looked like on Sunday night:
No, the pictures aren’t reversed. I was stitching along and decided I just did not like the way the colors looked or worked together. So I [...]

Title? What title?
This year I feel like I have Christmas under control – which probably means things will spiral out of control at some point. However, I have almost all of the Christmas shopping done (and I’m not going to the malls), I’ve started the wrapping, I actually got the Christmas cards done (although not in [...]

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 [...]

Mocha’s big day
Mocha is the official resident cat for Cross Eyed Kat – but she isn’t cross eyed. She is a mommy’s cat; she’s one of those cats that’s not a lap cat – a little bit fiesty, a little bit stand-offish. Oh, but she loves to get attention from her mommy (me). Yesterday, [...]
