Buns & Projects Update

I feel bad that I haven't shared bunny news in so long. Star is currently unhappy about being in her pen 24/7 but until we can ensure she doesn't have access to the cat food while on runtime, in her pen she will have to stay. Yup, Ms Bossy Doe has a thing for 82% meat kitty food that is SCARY if you ask me. It's like a cow munching on a chicken--so very wrong. I have tried various creative means to keep the two separate but she has found a way around every clever idea I've come up with. The easiest thing would be to put the kitty food on a higher level but the cats can't jump up anywhere anymore. At the moment, my frustrated Star is only getting short bouts of supervised run time while her ex and current nemesis Licorice enjoys almost complete free roam status. Lotta jealousy there, I can tell you. The only reason I can come up with for Star's continued evil genius pursuit of the cat food is that she's pretty convinced she's a cat. Poor girl has grown up with and been the dominant of 4 cats her whole life, so I guess I can't blame her. Licorice has no such delusions and probably doesn't care what he is, as long as he continues to be his Momma's cuddle lump.

In other news, I'm still plugging away unhappily on the Pirate Queen's Booty Bag for my friend Renee. It has no hope of being done in a week, for her birthday. If I hadn't had that month delay due to the yarn shipment being lost, I'd be done... ah well. I've got another idea to make up for the lack which she'll like equally as well.

My lovely shawl languishes, only a ball away from completetion, but I did make some lovely stitch markers to match the counting row bracelet (see pics in the 7/2/07 post). Currently, I realize I need another container to port around my knitting to and from work. The shawl is in a small bright orange bag I got at Phoenix Rising (Harry Potter Con in New Orleans) and the Booty Bag is in a large Yarn Tainers, but it's gotten to a size and length that the Yarn Tainers can't do an adequate job. Am I the only knitter in the world without a proper knitting tote? Probably. Looking to get one off of cafe press or Etsy, but I might make my own to match my knitting pirate shirt that says "yarn aquisitions specialist" under a Jolly Roger (with knitting needles instead of bones).
