McCoy rescue

I found this sad little vase spray painted at a local thrift shop. It's not quite its former self but I'm glad they didn't just throw it away

I found a Squishpillow!!!

Fellow zebras, I live in the Midwestern US so this may be old news for many of you. I recently found that pillows made by the people who make Squishmallows are on the market right now! I've found them at two big box stores, Wal-Mart and Target with different packaging.

Wal-Mart had them for $20 but just in the flimsy plastic sleeve you see on their inexpensive pillows. I didn't notice any kind of density rating on them at the time but I passed on purchasing them because I was very broke.

Last night at Target I found a much bigger selection of products in substantially upgraded packaging. They sell kid's size pillows, adult standard and body pillows. Kid's were $20, standard were $30, and body pillows were $40, however each package includes a pillowcase that's the same velvety material that the toys are made of. They also sell additional pillowcases for ease size for $10 each. The body pillows may be more- I was too busy grabbing a pillow.

And- adult standard size pillows come in different densities. I bought a soft one. I didn't see any medium but they could have been sold out and of course firm as well.

I slept so well. I hope someone finds this information helpful!

Tatting again

Some time ago I gave away most of my tatting books and supplies I've collected over the past 35ish years. Well, I found an old shuttle and after watching a video or two of other people's work I'm back at it. These earrings are the second thing I've done in maybe 15 years.

You guys sucked me back in!

Pattern from 1925 (public domain)

My grandmother gave me this Needlecraft magazine years ago when I only knew how to tat. I finally charted this filet crochet pattern and made a sample.

Why sphinxes and a pyramid? This magazine was published a few years after the discovery of Tut's tomb and people were fascinated with the objects found inside.

Penny and Sophie

Sophie is days away from getting her stitches out! They both were fixed a couple of weeks ago but poor Sophie had some complications. She's doing great though. Well, other than being reading to run and being immune to the effects of trazadone
