WIP Wednesday 64: Canine Caper













You already know that I don't really do cooking - so why the Whimsical Tarot card illustrating the Knave of Hearts ? This:


This used to be about 1 lb. of lambs' livers; the bowl is my seasoned flour ready to coat it before pan-frying, and then casseroling in yummy gravy gently with smoked bacon and sliced onions. I had walked through to the front room to see how Mini Diva was doing with her homework, and returned to find a thief had been and gone. A tidy thief who had left not even a blood trail.

 sleeping off the aftereffects of the heinous crime ?

Hmm. Let's line up the usual suspects for a food robbery. Three cats and a dog, you say ? Jewel and Inky never get on the counter under any circumstances, as they are rescue cats and thus are careful of their manners. Moonheart, Mini Diva's mercurial cat, both wanders the counters, sleeps on top of the microwave and kitchen cupboards, and has been known to steal before (whisker-prints in the butter); however, her alibi is granite solid, seeing as how she was outside prowling the neighborhood at the time.

Which leaves this laughing larcenist:




So anyway, I can't show you pics of my BIL's scarf until Friday, but I can show you this kind of odd picture of Mini Diva's Xmas shawl:



Go me ! But makes for a kind of empty WIP Wednesday, as I'm back to this: only the sleeve, sewing up and neckline to do ...this last bit just seems to drag on forever....


Don't forget to hit up Tami's Amis to see Art and Craft rather than crime scenes .....

  2. I had a German Shepard reach up and steal a pound bologna off the table quick as a flash.

    Looking forward to seeing your finishes.

  4. I agree with Karen ... it's hard to point out the guilty ... LOL.

    On another note, you're a great knitter. Your projects always look so well done, even in the WIP stages.

  5. I remember my kitten once jumping onto the table and trying to make off with a spare rib - it was bigger than her but she eventually managed it. I couldn't stop her for laughing ;)

  6. Bad doggy! Or perhaps the cats framed him up?

  7. Can't tell who looks more guilty, but your kitties are fantastically beautiful, especially snuggling together like that. ♥

    That sure is an interesting picture of the Christmas shawl--soaking for blocking? :)
    Best of luck getting through the remainder of that sweater! Seems the closer you get to the end of a big project, the longer it seems to take to finish. Ugh!

  8. Oh no, that bad dog! You give him another wash down, show him who's boss.

  12. I once had a toy fox terrier get on the counter and eat 1/2 of our Thanksgiving turkey. How sick she felt afterwards was punishment enough. She couldn't even walk, she looked like a football!

    Your knitting looks great, even soaking. I love that blue!

  14. Oh no! Well...as long as someone enjoyed a good meal, that's really all that matters, eh? :)
