Xena's New Bed?


These were so funny I just had to put them up. When I left to my Doctor visit she had scrunched down the one mattress on the futon, I have 2 pads, a thick one and a thin one, and when Xena gets a little chilled, she likes to be under covers. Well, I guess she couldn't get herself buried under the blanket so, like a good crafter, she improvised :)


When I came home this evening, this is what I found. What a nut!! I guess she warmed up. You know what, she has her very own felted kitty bed that she usually sleeps in when she's not in her corner by my feet in my bed, but it's in the window of my little knitting room. Silly Kitty!



Maybe I need to felt a little foam mattress pad for the inside of her bed. Come to think of it, she's in the window when I'm at the computer or on my bulky machine. Guess I really need to make her another felted kitty pie bed since she really just wants to be where I am. Especially since her daddy is in California now, she really feels abandonded and has gotten a little bit clingy.

Experiments


Knit weaving experiment. It looks better in the picture than it does in real life. I'm using a solid for the knit yarn and an icky scratchy ombre for the weave. It looks kind of messy and doesn't appeal to me though. More to come, I've got a dark brown that I'm playing with now.
