This is my dog, Tessa. Sometimes she looks really sad. Sometimes she is scared of thunderstorms and so she crawls into bed with me at 7:30 in the morning.
And this is my cat Winnie, called Soups for short (long story). After baking another batch of granola this weekend, I climbed the stairs to see her carefully avoiding eye contact. She completely ignored the attention I disposed upon her and soon I would learn why.
Dun dun dun! That is the beginning of my Gretel beret. Usually it lives in a plastic bag in my room, but someone (see image above) decided that my new alpaca would be a nice toy.
The silly cat had dragged it out of its bag, around my dresser, and into the hallway. Stinker.
I don't think I've ever showed pictures of my dresser before. For most of my life, I have been entranced by Europe and I've picked up many books from booksales, mainly on France and England. Well I decided to put all those pictures to good use and I decoupaged them onto my dresser. I really, really loved how it turned out. Someday I'll get some awesome drawer pulls from Anthropologie or something, but for now, I love this thing.
Two bonus shots for you all today:
This is my mom's antique spinning well silhouetted against our front window. It's a really neat piece, it has definitely gone on the "Things I Want Once You're Dead" list, as morbid as that is.
The second shot is of the tshirt that I made for the boy for his birthday. I think I have mentioned that he sews, and he once talked about having a shirt with stitches running all over it, so this was my interpretation. I copied the sewing machine off some image online and embroided it and then used the sewing machine to stitch out the rest of the design. There are a couple mess ups and once place where I forgot to secure the thread, but I think it is cool. I did not spend much time on it so that's as good as it was going to get.
Did I say there'd be progress shots of Demi last time? Well there will be next time! I'm almost done with the front!

What sweet pets! They're sweet even when they're naughty, right? :)
I love your dresser! I always dream of finding a used piece of furniture at a thrift store and making it into something awesome. One day...
There must be something with Cats and alpaca fiber! I made a hat with alpaca about a year ago, and whenever I would leave it out it would disappear! He would grab the whole thing in his mouth and run away, he never does that with anything! Who knows...
Also, I love the dresser and the shirt, they both look really lovely. :)
