Today's knit project.... EYEBALLS!!!!

I wanted to make some new cat toys, so I decided to make some that look like EYEBALLS!

I think I should have maybe used a pattern because they kind of turned out not entirely round. lol. But I smooshed them into roundness. I didn't make them both the same way. The small one has rows of all "knit one front and back", the bigger one has rows of "knit one, knit one front and back". Oh well. The cats LOVE them. They like to carry them around by the little "nerves" hanging out the back. HAHAHA!!!!

I'm a foul and disgusting human being, aren't I?






On a completely unrelated topic... can you guess what this is and what I am doing with it? I'll reveal all at another time, but feel free to guess, hehehe:

*hearts and flowers*

Sister in law, Deb, sent me some pictures from the family reunion. She got a good one or two of Tsu. *gets all dreamy eyed* Isn't he handsome?

Getting ready for some target shooting:



With his brother and cousins, hahahah... I crack up every time I see these:





I was there, too, with my huge forehead and my knitting:



I even wore my cloche hat for a while. Please explain to me how I weight 135 pounds and still have as big a double chin as I had at 185? lol!:



Tiff is into wearing these ugly glasses, and I "borrowed" them. Hot, dontcha think?



Speaking of Tiff, she went without makeup that day, lol.

This was the look she was going for...



I made her take the glasses off for family pictures:

Oh, I almost forgot....

I saddled Brego up and longed him a bit. He had a brain fart moment but got it quickly back under control. It was the first time he trotted around me to the right and he just humped up his back and tried to bolt. I ended up letting him go because I didn't want to rip anything loose by fighting him, but he runs like 10 steps and stops and looks at me like, "Dang it, woman, what is wrong with you?" *huff huff huff* then he is back to normal. I also turned him loose with it on and ran him a bit so he would see what it felt like to do some running with a saddle on. He was perfectly fine, no silliness about the saddle at all.

He did NOT, however, like it when I pulled on it from the off side. Tomorrow I will saddle him up again and tie a rope to the stirrup leather so I can pull on it while he longes. I like to do that because it gets them used to having their balance effected by weight on the saddle without having someone in the saddle for the first time they feel it. I should have had my camera out there today.


I'm getting really impatient to get up on him. I just wish I had my round pen up. Im really not liking working him in the barn lot. It's too easy for him to get away from me.
