My first crochet-a-long
I'm excited to participate in my first crochet-a-long (CAL)! This is when someone selects a project to crochet and invites others to complete it as well at the same time. I have chosen to join the Petals To Picots CAL for the August nesting dolls project. I will post photos of my progress as I complete it. Stay tuned!

Golfing thoughts
Today was a golf day! Gorgeous weather outside made me decide to dust off the clubs and play 9 holes. Let's just say that I didn't keep score, but did okay and only lost one ball. Naturally it's beneficial to really focus on the game, your setup, etc. whilst golfing. However, here are a few of the places my focus drifted off to:
* I think I need a new golf glove, my thumb is poking out of this one
* When a golf ball has been run over by the mower it looks like a hardboiled egg yolk inside
* This stupid visor is squeezing my skull!
* Where are the geese, squirrels, woodchucks, what-have-you this morning?
* Big toe on left foot is uncomfortable. Time for a pedi?
* Oooh! There's the snack cart, better grab a vitamin water.
* Call me crazy but that cloud looks EXACTLY like George Washington. He doesn't look impressed.
* I wonder how Tiger's playing today...
Oh well, it was a nice walk and I got some great pictures! (None of President Washington though.)

Owl cutie #2
I decided to change things up a bit for my second owl creation. Working without a pattern (winging it?) I made up the body and wings based on what I've done for previous animals. (Just call me Dr. Frankenstein - "it's pronounced Frahnkensteen!").
Since I was so pleased with how owl #1's eyes came out, I kept those the same. It seems like owls need "ears" or some distinguishing characteristic on their heads for identification purposes so I opted for the sassy tuft look. I used the same yarn color scheme for both owls but this little one has an orange beak so it stands out a little better.
An owl-themed coffee cup cozy is still in the works.....
