Here she is again today, up to her old tricks. Alix, being my "floss minder" in a not-so-constructive way. She seems to be thoroughly enjoying the Spring weather and it has brought back some of her old spunk and playfulness.
Not much to write about today. Mostly spent outside walking with Bud or watching the latest batch of floss dry. From left to right: Sky, Pumpkin, Spruce, Sammy, and Scarlet Tanager.
The one second from last being named for my black cat Sammy who has just a tiny bit of white on him. The black dye didn't come out nearly as dark as I wanted it to. I find that after the floss dries and I am not satisfied with the color I just dunk it a few more times until I get what I want. I think the "Sammy" thread is going to take the plunge in the black dye again tomorrow.
