Oscar

Mystery quilt plus 1

March 15, 2011

I’ve finished all 48 squares for the Fraser Valley Modern Quilting Guild’s Mystery Quilt for the meeting this Thursday. As you can see here, my helper, Oscar, was doing a bit of quality assurance on the squares for me. I would imagine he’s going to enjoy this quilt once it’s all finished. It will be [...]

Knitting in the round

February 20, 2011

My friend at work is pregnant and when I saw this pattern for a Baby Turban, I asked her if I could PLEASE make it for her baby. She and her hubby have decided not to find out the gender of the baby until the big birthday, so I went with a light green cotton. [...]

Stretchy and scratchy

January 3, 2011

The good thing about Oscar is that he only likes to scratch stuff that doesn’t matter. He loves the scratching posts on the stairwells as well as this laundry basket. And that’s all he touches with his claws – except the back of my legs when he gets impatient for dinner. And even then, he’s [...]

“All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.”

December 24, 2010

Clearly unhappy with my attention on the Lego people recently, Oscar reluctantly posed long just long enough for me to get his face in focus.

He’s the king of the castle…

November 13, 2010

This is Oscar in his kitty carrier (both kitties love it, so we just leave it out for them to hang out in) with all the toys in the house surrounding him – including a chicken toy with real feathers still on it. Why this chicken has not been ripped from limb to limb yet [...]

What the heck?

October 29, 2010

I bought two large-ish water cooler style water dishes (each water bottle holds 2 quarts of water) for Oscar and Donner before we went to Toronto last month – just to make sure they had enough water while we were away and to give the kitty-sitter one less thing to remember when taking care of [...]

Well, it’s a start.

October 17, 2010

In a surprise move by Oscar, he not only let me put his costume on (it’s a pumpkin bib from the Dollar Store. Hey big spender!) but he’s still got it on as I type this. He’s also been dragging the orange feather boa around the house. Hey! Maybe he is like Bucky (Cynthia’s kitty) [...]

Relaxing watching The Wire

August 19, 2010

After shooting in film for the last couple of days, I really wanted to take a photo of something not grainy. Oscar was a happy model for this event. Tonight we’re hanging on the North Side watching the last season of The Wire. It’s a really good cop show – surveillance on drug dealers and [...]

On the balcony at the Browne’s – Summer 2010 Oscar

Sneaking around on the balcony

June 23, 2010

Oscar loves it out on the balcony in the summer – he’s funny to watch out there – he moves in slow motion across the balcony and sits under one of the chairs against the wall of the house. Then he just sits there like a gargoyle. I don’t leave him out there “unsupervised” because [...]
