When Life Gives you Lemons...

We were away* for a few days and the cats had a friend come in to feed them. But apparently they were still upset I had left and Calvin (mug shot below) decided to show me by attacking my amaryllis.


I had been so thrilled when we got home that it hadn't opened it's blossoms yet. I love watching that process, so I was very dissappointed when he ripped 3 blooms off in quick succession. Not willing to give in to the Orange Menace, I found a way to enjoy my blooms, despite his attack.

Looks quite lovely and modern! It's my "lemonade"!

And I finished up the little sample from Moon Song Ranch. Lovely DK weight singles, about 40 yds.


*We spent a few days in Toronto to catch "The Wizard of Oz" at the Ed Mirvish Theatre. It was B's Christmas gift. What a wonderful time. It was so much fun to be able to give her this experience. We had watched CBCs "Over the Rainbow" and had hoped Danielle would win the role of Dorothy from the beginning. We were able to meet Danielle after the show, too. She was such a sweet girl - complimented M on how nicely dressed up he was and chatted with B while she signed her show poster.
