Kitty Haiku and Mutter Paneer

, ,

I received my Flannery O'Connor books in the mail the other day, so I have been reading one of them a little on my lunch hour for the last couple of days. I :heart: me some Mary Flannery O'Connor.

I had Mutter Paneer with roti for lunch.



I know that is pretty much TMI, but it was really, really good. I am feeling pretty decent today, this third day of watching what I eat/drink/do/don't do. The air is still working in the building, so that's awesome. Still :hat: and :smile:!!

I think I'll write some haikus today, with the remainder of my lunch hour, and post them later. I am almost finished with my kitty haiku book. I'll most likely publish it on createspace.com because it's non-fiction and it'll be hard to sell something like that, I think, to a publishing house.

I love kitties, and I love haiku. So, a natural progression for me is to love kitty haiku. Makes sense to me...Okay; I just wrote one:

When the clock strikes one
I'll wake, stretching and yawning
My next nap's at two

Almost time to go back to work. :yuck:


The Magical Mister Mistoffelees

, ,

I finished my commissioned art doll! He came together almost, eerily, with no effort. I found all of the materials the night we got tornadoed at JoAnn's, no prob. I drew the pattern in one try. Simple. I cut out the fabric with no do-overs, no band-aids. My sewing machine (Singer ROCKS!!) didn't eat the fabric, break a needle, or start smoking.

I didn't have a box to put him in (he MUST have a home, right?), so I made one out of scrap cardboard. I painted it, and put a little design on the front. Somebody said that I will most likely be sued for copyright infringement, but I am not selling the box. I am selling the doll, so it's okay. Right? Right.

Here's the box:



And here's the doll:



And another shot of it:



And his butt (with tail):



I can't divulge WHO is to get the art doll yet, because it's a surprise for that person. But I can say that I certainly hope they enjoy it. I truly enjoyed making it.

The Adventures of Kitty No-Tail

, , , ...

Hello, my name is Kitty No-Tail. I have that name for obvious reasons. Although I'm very intelligent and quite experienced now, there was a time when this was not the case. I'm referring, of course, to my kittenhood. There were many fine days and even more terrifying days during this time because I was abandoned by my mother and left to my own devices. Being seven weeks old and without much education can be quite intimidating and frightening in this huge, strange world of ours.

Here's my picture, and soon I will recount some of my fascinating adventures for all to read:



Thank you for visiting me, and have a wonderful day.
