The International Needle Felting Team
Well, I've been working on some needlefelt projects and checking out the International Needle Felting Team's Blog site http://nfest.blogspot.com/ I am constantly amazed by the unique artistry of each and every needlefelt piece. I'm loving our monthly challenges and seeing the compilations that Amy of http://DraigAthar.etsy.com has been creating of all our finished works.
I hope I'll be able to finish my entry for this month!!

Clockwise starting at midnight, Duke (didn't get his whole face in the picture :( ), June, Mohg. Mohg is like a spaz klingon. These are my three sheep herder helpy helpertons. They are actually black and tan coonhound, australian shepherd mixes. Their black and tan coonhound mom, Lilah, is a floosy who decided to run off one day to the neighbors farm and their pure bred aussie. All the puppies found homes except these three. Well, two did, but came back. My husband found Lilah, their mother as a stray by the side of our country roads during a blizzard. She was standing over the dead body of her dog buddy who must've been hit before. We didn't know if she was spayed or not since it looked like she had a spay scar. Apparently, not. Now she is though.

I caught the moon rising in the south over our little alfalfa field tonight. It was so beautiful with the sunset colored clouds. The sunset was gorgeous, too. There were coyotes yipping and howling in the trees in that direction.

I am so mean to our poor dogs! I always complain that they bark at nothing. I was scolding them for just this, when my husband went outside and found a herd of 20 deer right up here taunting our poor dogs. By the time I got the camera, I only caught two of them, heading off into the more wooded area of the gully.
I have just found out how to add photos right from flickr to this blog! How great is that? It's a little choppy, so I'll have to work on that. But, I love it so far!
Good news. Mothra headed for higher realms this morning. I had no idea that mothra was a female sending out pheromes to attract males from miles away. I'm relieved she and her pheromes are gone from right beside our kitchen door! She was there this morning around 4:30 when I first opened the door, then she just took off. Phew.

I turned around on our dog and one cat pack walk yesterday to find Rocket and Blaze being all sly and following us. I swear I could almost hear Rocket whistling, like "dooo dee dooo, I've just always wondered what it looks like over here."
This cat is so tense!

If only he could just relax around our dogs. He just cracks me up all the time. He is seriously one of the strangest cats I've ever met. Our other, Murphy, is a nut, but not nearly so much attached to the dogs. Oscar is so sweet. He turned around and smiled for the camera.
