The Mysterious Meowing Lump

Posted on January 19, 2011 by BrassyDel

According to Clinton Kelly in his book Freaking Fabulous, Fabulous People make their beds every day. So, in my humble, ongoing efforts to not be a complete slob be fabulous, I’ve been trying to remember to make the bed. Well, it also theoretically helps reduce the amount of cat fur on my pillow. You may notice in the photo below…

Friday Photo: Christmas Dress

Posted on January 14, 2011 by BrassyDel

If you know me offline, I’m sure you’ve already heard that when I was little, I had a dress just like this one. I loved that dress. It was purple, and velvety, and I remember being told I couldn’t wear it anymore because it was too small, and as a small child I reasoned that since I could clearly fit…

Photo Fun: Pixie loves Ritz

Posted on December 31, 2010 by BrassyDel

Little Pixie loves Ritz crackers! She hasn’t had them in awhile since I’m not exactly impressed with their ingredient list. Sigh. This photo set is from June 2010. Edited and collaged together via Picnik.com.

Photo Fun: Pixie’s BIG Christmas Present

Posted on December 24, 2010 by BrassyDel

Since it doesn’t fit under the tree, Pixie got her BIG Christmas gift a few days early. We got this train table used off of Craigslist for an excellent price. Pixie seems to really enjoy having a table that is just her size, though she seems to think of it as a really big chair sometimes as well. The table…

Domino Tile Ornaments

Posted on December 22, 2010 by BrassyDel

Sometimes I make things. Crafty things. Like these! This is a Domino Tile ornament in progress. First, I made some purty art on my computer, then printed out to the proper size on photo paper. I paint up the Domino with silver paint, add a ribbon loop, snip-snip away at the picture, and then… Voila! We have something that looks…

Photo Fun: Leopard of the North

Posted on December 17, 2010 by BrassyDel

These gorgeous Amur Leopards live at the Denver Zoo. We visited them back in May for Pixie’s first birthday. Doesn’t the one on the bottom look so cozy? It’s cold here, and I could use a warm, furry snuggle I think. I’ll try to find a fuzzy snuggler that is less inclined to view me as a snack or a…

Gallery Show Day

Posted on December 15, 2010 by BrassyDel

Last Saturday I had a small open studio gallery sale at my house here in lovely Colorado. The weather was quite cooperative, the barkingest dog that ever did bark was off at the vet for his semi-annual poking and prodding, and we had gourmet cookies courtesy of local baker Diane from Nibbles and Noshes. On the down side, I had…

Bunny’s Bulb Buffet

Posted on November 23, 2010 by BrassyDel

Last November, I planted something like 75 crocus bulbs in my front yard at the end of October. When they bloomed in early May, I got about 4 or 5 actual flowers. Several days after planting, I noticed little depressions in the dirt. Uh oh. Was it just settling from having dug and planted recently, or was it something more……

Photo Fun: Red-Crowned Mangabey

Posted on November 20, 2010 by BrassyDel

Back in May we took Pixie to the Denver Zoo for her first birthday. Here she is sitting on a park fence outside of the Red-Crowned Mangabey habitat. I absolutely love this picture and her expression. It just screams, “Oh my god, he’s right behind me, isn’t he?” doesn’t it?
