So, I wasn't to worried yesterday, when Mom found that little knitting hook I chewed up. Know why? Cause I just knew she could fix it! She love that polymer clay stuff and has a bunch of it! She plays with the clay a bit, and put it around the old chewed up handle. Then she bakes it in the toaster oven for awhile.
After it is baked, she cools it off, sticks it upright in some more clay, and paints some shiny glaze on it. Voila! She is done and has a much more comfortable handle than before! She did the same thing to all her crochet hooks at one time. She says, her hands don't get so tired crocheting now with a bigger handle! Well..........here is the truth of the matter! She is just to CHEAP, to go and buy new crochet hooks, that have big handles! The 7th one from the left, tasted pretty good when I got a hold of it a month or so ago. She had to put new clay on it!! BOL. Hey Mom! You forgot to glaze that one!

Another Bad Deed
These are little tools that my Mom uses to knit on a loom. I found the top one, her favorite, next to her chair. Of course I had to check it out, and make sure it was safe for her to use!

Mom's Fave Tree, Again
The Avocado Tree is thriving this winter. It is growing taller all the time, and is now beginning to bush out at the top. As the bottom leaves start to deteriorate a bit, Mom takes them off. She is very proud of her tree. Maybe someday, it will be a nice shade tree for me!

Vibrant red Firecrackers, just to name a few of our year round blooming flowers.

One Sunny Winter Day
Sometimes, I have lots of fun outside, on a sunny winter day!
I run around a bit, bark at any peeps, dogs, and wheels that go by my house! Then........I settle down and chew a bit on my fave stick!
