Excuses, Excuses

Since I started working again, I have had to relearn many things about myself. For instance, last night I remembered that I write much, much better in the morning. However I must have enough sleep the night before to accomplish this. Which I am not getting. I actually had a Sunday worth writing about, and a few things on Monday. Of course I don't have time to write about presently since I have to leave for work in fifteen minutes and I am nowhere near ready. And anyway, there are very few pictures. Now that I am not home during good photo taking hours, the pictures are lacking. So I have to work that out too.

In the meantime, I do have a few pictures from Little Lamby's photo shoot last Friday.

Little Lamby has still not made the long journey to California to our own Little Lamby, Miss T. My mom is coming in tomorrow night (an evening layover on her way to London) and I thought I 'd show off.

Happy Birthday Little Miss T

Last year it was Miss Kitty. This year Little Lamby joins the family. She's almost ready to move to California. Yes, as soon as the Simchas Torah is over I'll finally be able to finish her up. Hopefully she'll be making her way to California this time next week.

Made from the large supply of Heela Cotton that I brought back from Israel, Little Lamby is a pretty quick crochet.


I love the textured fleece (funny how that is achieved with cotton!)


And the garland that will go round her neck.

As you can see, the head, ears and body and tail are completed. All that's left is the upper leg portions and the garland. A little stuffing, seeming, a couple of buttons and a little embroidery and she'll be good to go.

Happy Birthday T. I love you!
