Redwork block 10 – Fluffy Cat

11-15-2013rw

I drew this fluffy cat is honor of a magnificent cat that we had many years ago named Einstein. He weighed in at around 25 lbs & had gorgeous fluffy orange hair. He was a comical character always nosing into things. He was with us for 9 years.
Sometimes he’d go in another room and then it seemed like he was lost. He’d sit in the room and cry until we’d go rescue him.
In the mornings before our alarm clock would go off, he’d wake one or both of us up by nibbling on our eyebrows. That was really an odd feeling to wake up too. lol
Einstein was such a curious character and we loved him dearly.

Redwork block 9 – Happy Puppy

IMG_5780This happy puppy reminds me of our dog Princess Penny.  She was a special part of our family for about 7 years. She was a mix breed, but we thought of her as a lemon beagle. She was a hefty dog of around 54 pounds. She was a wonderful guard dog. She let us know when anyone was even walking past the house.

Unfortunately, Penny had some serious health problems that caused her to pass-away at a young age. The vet said that health-wise, she was dealt a bad hand at birth. By the time she passed away she had lost down to skin and bones. She was so pitiful.

Over the years and in Penny’s last days, You could tell when she was in pain or hurting and yet when we spoke to her, she would wag her tail and put on her happy ears. That’s what I called it when she looked happy.  She’d look up at me with such a sweet face that I would want to cry and hold her close to me forever. It was like she tried so hard to keep us from worrying about her. She was my special girl.

Redwork block 8 – Dove

IMG_5779I’ve always liked this little birdie of mine. I think of it as a peace dove even though I suppose it doesn’t exactly favor a real dove. I like having it in my throw as symbol of the peaceful & pleasant life that I wish for everyone.

Wishing you all a peaceful and pleasant day.

Redwork block 5 – birdhouse

11-8-2013rwI don’t have any birdhouse stories.  I drew this from the bit of enchantment that comes from enjoying watching birds. I think a occupied bird house is quite charming. 😉

Wishing you all joy & success in crafting.
