Marked for good




I actually have some photos of new and awesome things.





Like ME!



I have been plotting these tattoos for a LONG time. See my Dad has these birds on his hands and I remember being utterly fascinated with them as little girl. I wondered why everyone's Daddy didn't have them (wusses) and I loved them. So FFWD 40 years and here they are! The one with the little rose? For my Mom. Although she cried when I got my first tattoo, I think she likes these. :)

And some stuff I knitted: unfortunately no modeled shots. But I do hope to rectify that at some point in the future. Both sweaters knit from the same yarn. Lana Gatto Bambini Soft. Super good deal at Elann.com.


The garter one is a rav pattern thats super easy and fast to knit.





The grey one? My own made up-ness. Since new tattoos call for shorter armed sweaters, good thing I can oblige huh?



Man shorter armed sweaters knit up FAST!

Pickles is providing much picture fodder these days. When he sees the camera come out he poses like a supermodel. So its kinda rare that I can catch him in a candid* unposed shot. Boy does he love his PEST** tent. And his toys. Nope not at all spoiled.





I have to thank Michelle for the link (see picture at top pf page thnx) to the Superhero Creator. I'm LOVING it.

*OMG I am totally one of those crazy people who thinks I'm catching my dog in a candid
moment. Lock me up.
**Like in Deadwood. Pest tent. Hahaha.

I'm going to copy that pink sweater like a celebrity hairstyle. It's so cute.

Love the tattoos. Here in Montana there isn't any regulation for tattooing, so I'm waiting until the Air Force moves us again. Lovely stuff.
