garden goings-on

Marcel and I were checking out the new things appearing in the garden. He can scope the scene from 2 directions at once because of his Extra Fancy Googly Eyes™.

Marcel is very suspicious of cameras. Hence the worried expression. He's ok though. Really, if you look closely he's actually smiling a little bit.
And plus, these pretties are blooming in the garden~

Oh! The pinkness is outstanding. They smell pink too.

blog cabin + A Visit from the Bluebird of Happiness

The log cabin new baby blankie is coming along nicely.

I love how these corners all come together-

Who knew garter stitch could be this much fun and look so pretty?
Plus, here is some bonus art that I made using the newly discovered Photoshop textures and brushes-

Photoshop really ought to come with a warning label.
"Improper use of this product may cause the following- neck pain, truly hideous art, gianormous and unwieldy file sizes, squinting, headache, back pain, time acceleration, tingly hands, confusion, difficulty in remembering to eat and sleep, giddiness, delusions, catatonia."

Btw, the Apple monitor went back, and I am getting a different one, not from Apple. Long story there- but the take away lesson is always count your prongy thingies twice (cannot emphasize this enough) and do your homework. Seriously.

new hat

Marcel wasn't so happy with the hat Oso made out of the leash.

He doesn't really like things on his head, it interferes with radio signals. And he has to monitor the radio signals. Because when you are a little dawg you never know.
When I'm not tormenting him with hats he sometimes has a howl. There is one way to stop him, which is to whip out the camera.

Right after I took this he stopped.
Wow. Look at that freaky color. I swear it looked normal before. My monitor has been dying a slow, painful death- whoa. Plus I have a beautiful and shiny new one, which after quite a lengthy ordeal and several phone calls to technikal support, I will be able to use it any minute now. Because I found out that if I get one of these thingies -I think that's the right thingie- it will talk to my somewhat elderly in machine years (but still spry! You know it!) computer. For the moment its a very nice looking sculpture. Ooh lala but it is pretty. Of course now I am way too broke to run out and get that new iPhone I wasn't actually thinking I needed anyway. This is how the get you. You start hanging around the Mac store and suddenly you are coveting fancy gadgets. Its a slippery slope. Luckily I am poor. The amazing thing is that as a poor person I am on my third computer. The other two are still hanging around, taking up space until I figure out what to do with them. I have an iMac from the pleistocene era. Speaking of sculptures. Sigh.

Here is some really nice art, if you are interested in such things. Mainly I like it because it is done in Photoshop- how crazy is that? And plus he shares some of his brushes on his blog. Be careful with those if you like to play in Photoshop as people have been known to get sucked in and disappear for days.

Today is the Dork & Roots Festival. You know what it means- hippies everywhere!! Omg. Maybe Marcel and I will go just 'cuz. We would hate to be sticks in the mud.
