Two More

washcloths, that is. I finished this one last night.

This is Christmas Ornament from Harvest Moon designs, and I can only find it through Ravelry, though I'd gotten it from a regular website a couple of years ago. I can't seem to find it now. Found it: click on the picture in the right sidebar.

After finishing the ornament, I cast on this Nativity Cloth and finished it today. I'll give it a light blocking before giving to anyone.

I also lightly blocked the candle cloth from yesterday's post:

The design shows up much better, don't you think?

I think Opal may have jinxed me. Usually my post game football posts are forming in my mind while the game is still going on. However, Opal complimented me so well on the last one, that I think she jinxed me. I'm drawing a total blank on this San Fran game. And I do mean total. I've always had at least a few ideas to build upon, but this time...I got nothin. And I do mean nothin.

Today is Katie's 13th birthday. She celebrated by finding some dead thing to roll in. Mama didn't let her back into the house for a long time, but then, she and Rylea snuggled up on the love seat.

Katie's face is almost all white now, and each birthday that passes, I know that there will not be many more left. I'm already dreading the day when we have to let her go.

I don't want to think about it. Change the subject.

My cute little dragon eggs ought to begin hatching tomorrow or the next day. They've all got holes in the shells now.




I've named my adult dragons, finally.

This is Nicola:



Named after Nick Folk. (Kickers are so under appreciated--until you need them!)

This one is Trindon:



Named after Trindon Holliday--my favorite LSU player.

This one is Jaysa:



Named after Jason Witten.

And this one is Prophyria:



Porphyria is actually the name of a group of diseases, but I changed the spelling a little bit because I thought it sounded like some fancy ancient word for fire.

They are all female, and I managed to feminize all the names except Trindon. I didn't want to mess with that name. I hope I get some males in this next clutch. What makes it hard is that so many people are using that website, but each name can only be used once.

I got up this morning at 5:20. Actually, I woke up needing to go to the little girl's room and couldn't get back to sleep. So I got up. After a while, I was listening to Around The World In 80 Days, which I downloaded from Librivox. I decided to go get back in my bed, because it was warm in there. I remember leaving Phileas Fogg somewhere in Nebraska, and the next thing I knew, he was in the mid Atlantic, running out of coal.

I had to go back and pick up those few chapters I'd slept through, but I did finish listening to it today.

Now I've got to go find me something else to download.
