Doilies, kids and cats

Okay, one doily, three kids (Andrew was sulking and I couldn't get a picture of his face, lol) and one of the cats.

Cinder has been very affectionate since her last venture from home - she says good night to all the kids at bedtime (follows me around, hops on their beds, and makes a general nuisance of herself) but today is the first time she was actually laying on them. I missed getting the camera out when she was on Andrew, but her she is with Brendan - she stayed there for a good 45 minutes, and I think he would have stayed there all day with her if she had! He isn't feeling too well; I think maybe she might have been taking care of him.



You can see here just how happy she was with him!



Justin was watching, but we (I) kept him off the bed - he wanted to climb on Brendan! He was VERY jealous of the cat, I think; he thinks of Bren as his own personal property!



And lastly, the "Gift Doily", which pattern I pulled from an old doily pamphlet. It still has a lot of imperfections in it but I'm slowly improving - those picots almost killed me though, I need to find out where exactly in the chain you are supposed to slip stitch through; I'm not sure if I was doing it right or not. It ended up 10 3/4" - the book said it should be 9"!! Oops, lol!



My allergies are bad today - I have terrible vertigo, despite taking my typical medicine regimen; it's making it hard to do the things I wanted to. I'm just going to have to take things slowly and try and stay hydrated - that's another thing these allergies do, they take away my appetite and any appeal that drinking water has.
