Meet Paul Simon

-
I love all you guys, seriously.  I couldn't wait any longer to introduce you to our new kitten, Paul Simon!  We got him about a month ago, and we had a very hard time deciding on his name!  Ultimately, he was named after the singer.  (Long story.)
I am in love.  He was so teeny tiny when we got him!  He just keeps eating and growing, though!
Paul Simon and my son have become very attached to one another.
Paul Simon and Snoopy, not so much.
But -- they are getting there!
He started out quite shy and timid, but has quickly taken over settled in!
I love his mixture of spots and stripes -- especially on his little tummy!
The more he sleeps -- the bigger he grows!
But as of now, he's still smaller than one of my son's sandals!
I have needed this cat for a long time now.
He is so much fun!
He makes me laugh!  And he's more than a little mischievous!
Who, me?

Such a handsome little guy, and I can just imagine the laughs he's giving you! I'm sure he and Snoopy will be buds in no time.

Okay, now I see an iPad or another tablet in your future and Paul Simon's future. Apparently there is a game you can get for a tablet that will drive a kitty bonkers just trying to catch the mouse/thingy. I read about it several years ago on a blog from a woman in the Silicon Valley who apparently works for Apple. It sounded like fun. My former employers have a large dog from the Navajo Reservation (we call them rez rescue dogs, and a cat that looks similar to Pau Simon. The cat loves to tease and play with the dog all the time. They have a blast. I don't know who came first, the cat or the dog. They are fun to watch. Another fun game for the cat was playing with a laser pointer on the floor and the cat would keep trying to catch it. Maybe a laser pointer is cheaper than a tablet.
You look so happy with Paul Simon. Your son looks very pleased to have another guy in the house.
Hugs to all,
Marrianna

Oh My Goodness!!!! Well hello Paul Simon - so nice to make your acquaintance. Good eye with the markings...quite unique. I'm sure he'll keep everyone entertained as kitties are wont to do.
Cheers, Linda.

He is so cute now, and will be a beautiful adult cat. Looking forward to more posts about Paul Simon. My Lily was a combo of stripes and spots, and when I took her to the vet to be spayed he shaved her tummy. The spots were in her skin. I never knew that.

Baby Jesus Candy Cane Christmas Ornament How-To

Here's a tutorial to make sweet baby Jesus ornaments: Materials: 3/4" round wooden balls blue felt like-sized small wooden stars flesh-colored acrylic paint yellow acrylic paint black permanent marker small button as star decor raffia natural excelsior "moss" silver thread or coordinating yarn candy cane You'll also need glue or a hot glue gun, paint brush and scissors Begin by painting the wooden balls with flesh-colored paint and the stars with yellow paint. When dry, draw two sleeping eyes on the ball. Meanwhile, cut small pieces of felt and make little rolls to represent the baby's body; tie with a tiny piece of raffia. Next, glue the wooden ball onto the top of the body roll of felt; if you wish, you can also cut a small wedge of felt to glue over like a little swaddled hood on the baby's head, but I think it looks cute without it as well. Glue the l...

Flagler College in St. Augustine: the Tiffany connection

-
Image
We visited this wonderful building that began its life in 1888 as a lavish hotel built by Henry Flagler, one of the founders of Standard Oil, and now houses Flagler College . It is such a beautiful old building and in it we saw: these fabulous Tiffany chandeliers... on a spectacular painted and embossed ceiling in one of the hotel's drawing rooms.   I apologize for the quality of the indoor photos -- it was quite dark in the building. I had to laugh at these painted cherubs on the ceiling... and the way their ribbony robes encircle the chandelier mount! This large clock over the mantle is special because it's a Thomas Edison clock and because it is made from one piece of rare onyx.  We were told that Edison's "signature" on his clocks is the use of the incorrect Roman numeral "4". But the most spectacular feature of the building is that Louis Comfort Tiffany himself made the stained glass windows. Most of Tiffany's windows a...

O Christmas tree, jeweled Christmas tree...

Earlier in the season Rebecca and I went to a craft fair at a local high school, and there was one booth with the CUTEST little jeweled, framed Christmas trees! The gal was nice enough to let me photograph them.  Sorry it's kind of blurry, but it was dark in that high school gym! I know it's an older kind of craft (from the '60s and '70s) but she made them sweet -- not gaudy at all.  We were both SO inspired. So, last week we made it happen.  I brought a bunch of my old, broken vintage jewelry, some velvet, glue,  old frames, and we sat in her dining room and made a forest of little trees! It was so simple: first, we took a vintage frame and covered the backing with velvet.  We just glued it on. Then, we took our time arranging bits and pieces of jewels into a Christmas tree shape. When we were happy with the arrangement, we committed and glued the jewels down!  I love this avocado green velvet! And then we did it again.  We h...
