Still to come: theme tweaks, an expanded ‘blogroll, and maybe even that swanky Lightbox image viewer. We’ll see!

Please leave us feedback to let us know how you like it!

UPDATE: Lightbox seems to be working for the most part. For example, here’s the first two portraits I ever did, for the the portrait class I’m taking right now. If you click on either, the full-size image will appear:

Oh sure, he looks cute, cuddly with his extra puffy, super soft, long fur. He happily greets anyone who comes along with little kitty chirps and offers his tail for petting to any visitor. But don’t let it fool you! Usually in the dead of night, while people sleep peacefully, he strikes. He chomps, never eating, just chomps with his rather sharp kitty teeth any plastic bag and it’s contents. Leaving behind zillions of little puncture holes in his path of destruction.

Since I store many of my fiber items zip storage bags I have had many of them destroyed. He’s gotten rather bold lately as well, striking right in front of me as I work on a project or watch a movie with the family. He even eyed my one of my projects once, then I really threatened his existance (with words and tone of voice) and he reconsidered.

But with his recent rampage of attacks against defenseless fiber and plastic, I spent the last two days resorting and organizing and cleaning the studio space. I would have been done with another project otherwise, but would have had a lot more kitty punctured items to deal with. So most everything is in a box or drawer and labeled. Hopefully that will keep me organized and help motivate me put stuff away. Otherwise the Enforcer will have to remind me and it won’t be pretty.

I have some big things I am working on for a show in November and a Weird Michigan Challenge that I issued to my group. Nothing I can share yet, but considering both of these deadlines are approaching at lightening speed, I hope to have them done soon.

One very cool aspect of working downstairs are the paintings that Victor’s grandmother painted hanging on the walls. She was an artist and mystic. This one is called The Tightrope Walker.

So tomorrow, instead of going to the U-Sew store to put a felting machine on layaway to lock in the price before it goes up, I will be embellishing my son’s aircast.

So just in case any of the few of you who actually read our blog were wondering why we haven’t posted lately, now you know why. I promise to share Robo-Boot with you when it is completed.
