Finished pillow

This is the needlepoint pillow I made of our friend's C and D's two kitties looking intently at their aquarium -- or seafood buffet. C. sent the photograph and I took it from there. It was a lot of fun to do and I think it turned out great.

Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself......

Having lived in the east and the west, I've found myself back in my home state of the south - not the 'deep' south; we like to think of ourselves as pioneers and our state as the 'jumping off place' to beginning a westward journey, like so many migrating pioneer families considered us to be in the 1800s.

My husband "Excy" and I run a wild mustang sanctuary (www.wingspur.org -- that's our 'wild bunch' running across the header up there), and are being bossed around by tons of wild and domestic animals. We seldom get a chance to get away anymore, but that's okay.

I am a former magazine editor and was working for a national nonprofit when I had to go on disability in '97. Now I freelance articles and edit for a publishing house and private clients. Like most everyone out there, I have a few screenplays and mostly-completed novels in a drawer. I'm also failing to learn how to play the hammered dulcimer. Can't read music, just play by ear. But I have slowly mastered some civil war-era and folk songs.

I started blogging because a friend thinks I'm funny and I'd be good at it, and because it's way more fun than Facebook.
