Zippers


 Yesterday I pulled out a bin of about a gazillion and five zipper blocks. (This is also a inspiration from Lynn Dykstra's blog and her series of solid and pattern blocks). The blocks are so fun to make, I went a bit overboard in experimenting with color combinations. When I tried to put them together, I was blinded by the chaos. So I limited the range of hues a bit. While this seems like a good start, I think I might need to make some more blocks. . .


And while we're here...I found some pictures of Buddy and friends on an old iPod and was adding them to the photo library on my desktop computer (the device that you don't take with you). To be fair to Molly, that is the face I would have if my brother licked my face.


And here's Buddy with his other sister Cyclone...this was back when the kittens were fosters named by the shelter as Typhoon (Buddy), Cyclone and Hurricane (Molly). Cyclone was the only kitten that wasn't a foster failure. She was adopted the same day I returned her after socialization.


Here's Buddy providing a visual commentary on the construction of Bonnie Hunter's Idaho Square Dance.


And here's Buddy with an incredible impersonation of Buddy.
