Blogger is giving me fits today. Harumph. This is my 3rd try to post, and I'm not holding my breath on this time working either. Double harumph.

Anyway, stop whining, me.

I am not completely finished with Max & Whiskers just yet, but I have loved every itty bitty bit of it. I love that different patterns suit completely different occasions & themes, and yet, they all go together perfectly. Rare that one single collection can be so versatile.

The kitty card is one of my favourites - I love that stamp set. The first few times I used it, the next day I would wake up to a nice (slimy) gift from one of the kitties. I almost thought it was cursed. I usually paper-piece the cat body, and colour the eyes in with white gel pen, but for some reason (insanity) I decided to paper-piece his little eyeballs. On the envelope too. O_o Then I coated them with my new clear glaze pen...and decided to put some black glaze on his nose, and whiskers...and that's where I messed up, smudged, cursed mightily, and cut a new oval to start all over again. So I cut out yet another set of teeny eyeballs, because I'd already done the envelope. And, of course, the card's got to match. You'll perhaps note there's no black glaze on the finished card. It's still in a time-out.

Dentist & doctor appointments both tomorrow - I expect to get lots of crochet finished while waiting. That's about it, though, since Riley pulled a "Mom didn't say what I wanted, so I'm going to ask Dad" about going to school after the dentist...so guess who's home all day tomorrow? Good thing I like the little stinker.
