I accidentally made Shelibean a new toy. I call it a puff because it’s soft and puffy. Last night while trying to design some crochet flowers, there was some that I didn’t like. To keep them together to throw away, I started tying them together. By the time I had added the 3rd flower, a cheerful looking flower ball was formed. I decided it’d be a cute toy to give to Sheli, but he was already in bed asleep, so I’d wait until morning to give it to him. I continued on crocheting flowers and two more of them didn’t turn out right, so I added them to the flower ball.
I really like the look of this flower ball. I think it would make a good bath scrubby if it was made of cotton thread.
I gave Sheli the puff this morning. He chewed on it a bit and then snuggled up to it while laying on his favorite afghan, and took a nap.
When he woke up, we played a bit of fetch with it. I guess it passes the muster of Shelibean’s high standards for quality control. 😉
Here’s a photo of Sheli sitting on my Candy-corn afghan when I first made it last summer. He took such a shine to it that he claimed it before it was a 1/4 of the way finished. I crocheted many of the rows while Sheli sat on it and played or napped. I guess he loves the bright colors.
Sunday it was 70° and would have been a really nice day if the wind hadn’t blown so wild and if the sun had of shined. My hubby mowed up the fallen leaves that were scattered across the yard. Sheli and I tried to sit for awhile on the porch but the wind gusts were too uncomfortable for us.
Last night it was stormy with thunder, lighting, rain and heavy winds. Part of our region got a coating of ice. We were fortunate that we only got a smidgen of snow. It’s in the low 20’s, overcast and colder than all heck.
Was Sunday’s warm temps only 24 hours ago…
While searching my old files I opened my folder for last March out of curiosity about the weather then. As it turns out, our cold weather last year was pretty much like it is this year…

This is all for me at the moment.
I hope you all have a pleasant week.

That’s so special that Sheli loves your crocheting! I smiled thinking of him sitting on the afghan as you were crocheting it.
We had sleet for several hours today, following by several inches of snow. I’ll have a post about it in a couple of days!

We had 70s Sunday, cut back the butterfly bush and catmint. It was nice in the sun, but when I took a break to sit in the shade the wind was a bit too chilly. We got a mix of snow and sleet today, windy 20s, also, very cold! The roads appear treacherous. I think Sheli knows he shows up handsomely on the background of candy-corn colors. 🙂

I think you’re on to something there with Sheli & the colors. I hadn’t thought of that before. Truly Sheli is a vain little ornament and always wants to be seen. lol
Bless your hearts, you all are having pneumonia weather too. It’s dreadfully frustrating.
Be careful, stay warm and hopefully warm spring breezes will come and chase mr. winter away. 🙂

I love the ball you made, albeit accidentally, and it has turned into a great toy for Shelibean. No matter what you make, he seems to get attached to it!
