Yesterday (very late yesterday…in fact it was almost today) Word Press sent a congratulations on our twelfth anniversary here. Yay! 🎉 🎊
It Started With The Twins…
Last year my niece had twins. I wanted to make something nice for them, so I chose little dresses and cardigans. When I finished with the outfits, there was still some yarn and ribbon leftover. That led to this:
I used the yarn and ribbon and some fabric from my stash to make these. They were donated to the church to help new mothers in need.
********************
You’re lucky I’m a good boy or I would have chewed up those dinosaurs.
My motives were not entirely altruistic, however. I counted the materials I used in my One Thing Each Day challenge.
******************
I know some of you have wondered what happened to us. Murphy is fine. Me not so much. In extremely rare cases, psoriasis can go to the eyes. I can’t win even a scratch off lottery ticket, but somehow I can do this.
Anyway, right now the glare from computer screens is too much for me for more than a few minutes at a time, so I can’t do Bitey Dog (or do online banking or file taxes. Eek!). As soon as I feel better, we’ll be back to telling bitey stories! 😊
Toby’s TV Lament

Sadly, it only works for Toby.

I only care about TV if there is a ringing doorbell.

Looking for ways to stay warm? Consider this handmade, handquilted Bear Paw Quilt!
Made of a patchwork of calicoes and flannels, this rustic Bear Paw Quilt would fit in nicely at a cabin by the lake or thrown over your couch at home. The pattern is geometric, and the colors are bold yet earthy. The overall effect of the quilt is of paw prints in snow. On sunny days, the colors look so inviting it is hard not to lie down on them and take a nap.
Handmade Bear Paw Quilt and other fine gifts are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

I don’t know what you’re complaining about. My pee smells nice.

Bitey Mom may be making a joke about pee pills, but inside she is concerned. I know that little Murphy is only on loan from heaven, but I still don’t like seeing his health decline.

To the Victor Go the Spoils
*
My garden produced very few vegetables this year, but so far it’s grown two rabbits, eight mice and two voles.
If you have the funds, I suggest investing in Victor stocks.
(By the way, you’re welcome that I didn’t provide photos of all the dead critters!)

You mean I was supposed to be doing something
other than eating tomatoes out here?

Cockeyed Optimist

I don’t see what you’re talking about. I feel fine.
*
Hey, don’t forget me! I broke too.
And I’m only right twice a day now!
*
These are a few of my busted up things! (Hmm, I can see why they went with the other version in the musical.)
These are only a few of the things that broke. If you added everything up, October was quite an expensive month. Uh oh Murphy, looks like a skinny Christmas this year!
As long as I get some biscuits, I’ll be happy.

Hallowhat?

Geordie used to like dressing up for Halloween.
Murphy…not so much.
That brother of mine may have been your costume whore,
but I like being a naked little boy!

In Memoriam:
*
Don’t make me go near that thing.
********************************
As if life weren’t busy enough, I had to get a new “toaster” this week. I brought it home to show Murphy, and he wouldn’t come within 10 yards of it. I guess I don’t have to worry about him borrowing it in the middle of the night…you know, to make toast.

Forcing fluids has some interesting side effects like being affected by the gravitational pull of the moon….and being able to keep up with the boys at night.

How about we start by peeing on this?

Mesozoic Musings

They say the dinosaurs that survived the meteor are what we now call “birds”.
In that case, I KNOW I like dinosaurs…especially chicken ones!!!
