She is gradually doing better, but I'm waiting on some tests from the vet, after running up quite a vet bill on OTHER tests. (see my blog for more information, and updates.)<br /><br />Why, you may ask, spend so much on medical care for "just a cat"?<br /><br />Megumi is a bit more than "just a cat" she's my support animal too, and even saved my life when she was a bit more than a year old. Currently, she mostly tells me to "sit down NOW" when I really need to sit down now... but back then I took a new medication for the first time, and ended up passed out with my BP rising to very scary levels. Megumi revived me by washing my face and meowing desperately, when I came to, I realized just how sick I was, and was able to call for help... I ended up in the ER, where they took care of me right away. If Megumi hadn't been able to rouse me, the next chance for me to be rescued would have been 2 HOURS later when my then teenaged daughter got home from school. <br /><br />She's the best darn cat in the Universe.trinlaykhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13372726921097698397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299741558277327837.post-51562055162267676852008-08-20T08:27:00.001-07:002008-08-20T08:33:38.149-07:00My Godson's Blanket<span style="color:#000000;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigChZ3lcNz-rGhQqVAfs2RkAZWGo9MOYNnFgFvCig4PrYLG9GmL4joK0B97jHKiO7tPfLoHsAklv2fJFkQZYWQ4XzQ8zK3NCMc-LkvDxco0jenWrKo6Zzrz2heY0wthtFBrWnDt8nIxXM/s1600-h/B-day+Blanket1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236622485821201794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigChZ3lcNz-rGhQqVAfs2RkAZWGo9MOYNnFgFvCig4PrYLG9GmL4joK0B97jHKiO7tPfLoHsAklv2fJFkQZYWQ4XzQ8zK3NCMc-LkvDxco0jenWrKo6Zzrz2heY0wthtFBrWnDt8nIxXM/s320/B-day+Blanket1.jpg" border="0" /></a> Okay here is the blanket I made my godson for his b-day which is the same day as mine.

So I met up with the friend who was to become Monty's Mum, and we took her and her little girl on a day trip to Racine to see the zoo there, and to eat at Kewpie burger. <br /><br />AND THEN, we went a bit further to Kenosha to ride the trolley and see their new museum. <br /><br />I found that Mothra having adventures makes for a fun photo collection.<br />enjoy!trinlaykhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13372726921097698397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299741558277327837.post-28254520993882336232008-05-04T12:39:00.001-07:002008-11-12T17:28:56.930-08:00My freeform baby blanket<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOgjDNymx1JjyBIROwfW7PQtyiOmhMKoBsLvagjt1p3bVW_67uF1QbYPdEdu1FNcEgTjSGoqEZj8YdF0zm987MkxRWGNX1f_mlxoEfBgyUsoJQ6AOkIheQnUKK9dnmQ5Zn2rUWbA5cVO6/s1600-h/Penelope+blanket+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196609760768850290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOgjDNymx1JjyBIROwfW7PQtyiOmhMKoBsLvagjt1p3bVW_67uF1QbYPdEdu1FNcEgTjSGoqEZj8YdF0zm987MkxRWGNX1f_mlxoEfBgyUsoJQ6AOkIheQnUKK9dnmQ5Zn2rUWbA5cVO6/s320/Penelope+blanket+003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>I am 34 weeks pregnant, so I'm very happy to be finished this blanket for my baby Penelope.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Xn_JXfoCuZb-S5mIgQeCN6aEtrxoAmB4mjqG-h615COheFo2qWBBKdX6D_F_efp7IWE54kxRzQ-JQwqzaPVP9tm2T34XZEIbiZvh60oHlCZ9zEMN9C7lGlxJk8iwwRqU6dAbngfLmGTL/s1600-h/Penelope+blanket+004.jpg"></a> All of the pieces are free form (scrumbled) pieces that I crocheted together.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0lwj13DaK2Gdvw6mS8Oi87lBl7zfbaAWi_kJewE4ycGRNkYZu0IxqrVMwPRhXH2mmqu5YQV11A52zZrSalZaXlA8yZIIwZJZX53t_fkBJJJ1aK2Bv-OttQS-WsMO_t8VCotBkHzhVK3hU/s1600-h/Penelope+blanket+005.jpg"></a> My original goal was to make it a flat square blanket. There is no way that I could figure out to piece the pieces together in an actual square, so the resulting shape is a more organic form.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjcbIHHoK3aFOuMfAMjUNrorAcOm6WWqGaU5g36zDO2m4r1zlLbEJ2bNnuKOPul58yAEevhKsGOjAGywjZR2VlM7rIUIwrXQhGKm_LPX27S6Fmao4B4826Zhy7prtmsgQ-WQsgyq-vxtY1/s1600-h/Penelope+blanket+006.jpg"></a> There are puffy spots and flat spots, there are many different textures all through out the blanket.

Then I made a pink shell edge (5 HDC in a ch then 2 SC in the following 2 chains) to give it a pretty girly ruffle. Pink and black are just so awesome together. Doing this blanket has inspired me to try something new. If I have the energy, I will be making some clothes :)schwahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15288020550391172394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299741558277327837.post-4194582250420647262008-04-27T12:32:00.001-07:002008-04-27T12:32:44.317-07:00Rainbow Dagon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2106/2446235040_cec4073893.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2106/2446235040_cec4073893.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Huggable elder god.

I decided to do it in small pieces and crochet them together. I have seen other people do scrumbles and have always wanted to try it. It's pretty fun just to do free form instead of following a pattern. Once I make up a square of tiny pieces, I'll do a border around the edge to finish it off. I put more pictures up on my blog if you'd like to check it out <a href="http://www.amytriesblogging.blogspot.com/">http://www.amytriesblogging.blogspot.com/</a> :)<br /><div></div>schwahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15288020550391172394noreply@blogger.com1
