basket case

I thought it would be fun to try basket making.

But, like, without buying a slew of supplies. 

And I've got tons of paper, sooooooo...

Yeah, I'm definitely taking apart the sides and I'll try something else - smaller - probably yarn.

In cat news, I got to hang out with Peter today.

Like all cats across the globe, he knows when his photo is about to be taken, and prepares to lick his nether regions. Cats!

Meanwhile, upstairs, Taco was watching birds, unaware that I was cheating on him with another cat. 

That's enough cat butt for today. 

😉

the gingers steal the show

(Completely off-topic: I love red-heads in the human world and the cat world, and the word "ginger" is super fun to say. Take a moment now to say it. GINGER. Anyway, I realize some people use it as an insult, but it shouldn't be. So please don't take it as such.)

It's a special talent to go off on a tangent before even starting a blog post. Ha!

Peter, the neighbor's cat,
and
LIMBURGER, our newest feline addition to the household,
meet for the first time.

Limburger is terrified.
Peter looks interested.

Then we caught them making out.

They sprang apart, obviously guilty.






This is like Taco's worst fears, by the way. That we go out in the hallway and play with other cats all day.
It was only a few minutes, I swear.
At least the other cats don't usually leave lipstick on the collar.

the sketchbook project 2011, first installment

I joined the sketchbook project 2011, which means my sketchbook will be traveling across the nation and then displayed in the Brooklyn Art Library, forever after wards. (An off-shoot of the Brooklyn Art Museum...)
It's kind of awesome.
I decided to take some photos of my work before I give it back to them.
