Moon, Art Cards & Crochet Progress

I read that last night was going to be a "Hunter's Moon" - and when it got good and dark, I took my camera outside to see what I could see.  And there it was, a big, bright, beautiful full moon!  I zoomed my little Canon PowerShot SX200 with a 12x Optical Zoom all the way out and tried to steady my hand to get a shot.  I didn't think I had much of a photo, but when I downloaded this image and cropped it, I was pretty happy with what I saw!  I also thought it was neat that there was a rainbow hued circle around it.

And then I thought you might want to see the absolutely delicious pot roast dinner that my hubby made.  He is very kind and thoughtful to cook for us especially when I have a painful foot.  It was pointed out that I should probably not be eating beef with my gout, so he's finishing off the leftovers.  But it was really good!

Below is a funny shot of my cat, Lucy, a tortoise point Himalayan -- we watched in amazement last evening as she jumped up on the entertainment center while we watched TV.  I had to get a photo.

And when the mail came yesterday I was quite pleased to see a package from the lovely Vanessa at a favorite blog of mine, "Do You Mind if I Knit".  She is a talented knitter and crocheter, and does the *MOST* amazing paper mache sculptures!  She actually decided to photograph her sculptures and have greeting cards printed to sell - and I ordered a package of them.  She wrapped them in tissue and tied them with a striped string with a darling "Thank You" card that she wrote a sweet message on the other side.  Talk about quality!!  *T*H*A*N*K* * *Y*O*U*!*!*!* Vanessa!!

Here are the five cards I ordered.

My favorite is this adorable ginger kitty with butterflies.

 And below is a close-up of the amazing artistry in her sculptures -- see the eyes?

I do hope you visit her blog.. she's delightful.

And above is the progress on my neat ripple blanket.  I've joined in a "Ripple-Along" with the lovely Lucy at Attic24 and her friend and neighbor, Heather at Little Tin Bird - both in England.  It's fun as they're inviting others to ripple with them and have even started a photo group to share our photos on Flickr!!  You should join in the fun!!

OK, back to my crocheting and TV watching.. tonight is a favorite of ours, Survivor!!  Thanks for stopping in for a visit!  ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
