Your poor cat! I showed Bruce, the hubby, your other cat picture the one with Cleo and the remotes...well he laughed and said my kinda guy, as he loves to bug poor Smokey this way. Smokey is our Russian Blue cat who is very, very cantankerous.

Your kitty has saint-like patience. Either that or you never post pictures of the scars from the aftermath of Cleo's Revenge...

One of these days, that cat is going to get revenge on you. Some day, years from now, when you're least expecting it. Hehe.

What are those red things? But really the remote pic was the tops!
Looks like Cleo posed for you no problemo.
Congrats on being included in Vickie Howell's book!! Awesome Dude.
Time is getting slippery. Summer will be over before we know it. June. The month of my birth. The 22nd and I won't tell ya' what year! Aren't you a summer birthday dude?
Well now, don't you have a lot on your Projects Almost Finished plate! Maybe your a adrenal junkie. I've never seen anyone crank the work out like you do.
As for your ball cap? It is sweet but who is that handsome dude? =O)
Have a good evening!

Just listened to your CraftSanity interview today and loved it! I don't crochet, but it brought me to your website, which is also great.
