I Need a Hobby

... like I need a hole in my head, but I happened to pick up my mother-in-law's Ehrman Tapestry needlepoint catalog and saw this Blue Willow pattern pillow and momentarily considered taking up needlepoint.

Then I realized that a hobby of the needle variety is basically a death-trap for Edward.*

*It's amazing the awful scenarios you can dream up in your head when you become a mother. It must be some biological defense mechanism, but I can literally imagine the worst and obsess over it for days. This is why I don't watch the news and made the switch to GMA - Today likes to get all graphic on me without warning. But really, is that normal or should I be medicated?

So for now I'm content to pick out some patterns and pretend it's something I'll eventually do.

Cat in a Ruff

Heyy cat! Edward loves cats so I would make this for him. He would love it until his friends came over and made fun of it, then he would hate me. See what I just did? Anyway, I like the cat/needlepoint combo and think it would be fun in the right kind of space (i.e. one that does not include doilies or Precious Moments figurines).
