I love these! Thanks for swapping them! I have to apologize to you, though, as I mis-named one. It’s rose- breasted, not rosy- throated grosbeak. Totally my mistake!! (Pretty sure I wrote it wrong on my posts, too!) The more we know, amiright?

Project Name: Felt Black Cat
Project Link: Dahlia the cat
Brief Description: I love making these felt little creatures. This one is based on my real cat Dahlia. I didn’t realize that the black felt would absorb so much light. She’s still cute. I had to make up the pattern for her shoes and dress.

Project Name: pizzas
Project Link:
Brief Description: I made pizzas last week for dinner. My BIL (@QueenHobo’s husband) made the dough and put the pizza in and out of the oven for me (I’m afraid of the oven… I tend to burn myself), but I constructed each pizza. We got a round of mmmmmmm’s, some nommy’s from Grumpy Frog (the highest praise she gives), and in fact I never even got a pic or a slice of the pepperoni and olive pizza, which was devoured in about two minutes. So it was good, like Jedi.

I made a pepperoni and black olive, a four cheese with olives on half, a Hawaiian, a bbq chicken pizza, and my calzone. Mmmmmm

Project Name: Spice Cake Brownies

Brief Description: I made this spice cake, which was unexpected, because the recipe was for cake mix brownies. The cake itself is a success, just not very brownie-like save for a strip in the middle.

Project Name: Sweet Potato Taco Pasta
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: I made this for dinner the other night. It was useful for satisfying both my hunger and the vision I had for it. (Ideally, the sweet potato/corn/bean mix would have been a taco filling, but I didn’t have anything resembling a taco shell, so I settled for mixing it w/leftover pasta.)

I bet that taco mix was great with the pasta! And the spice cake looks delicious. I love to top mine with peaches and whipped cream! :yum:

Cute lil birdie! The crocheted clouds are just right!
