More Sea Animals!

On December 12, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics8 Comments

I thought she was done... But I guess I should have known that with Mom you never can tell. So when she started bringing home all these little blue tiles I had a feeling something was up. The blue made me think of the sea animals mosaic in the bathtub. If you read "See? Animals!"  …

The Precarious Life of Panda

On November 30, 2019May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda7 Comments

You may not have known this, but... I haven't always lived with Mom and Foster. I was given to Mom by a student, years before she retired, so at first I lived in her classroom. Back when her English learner class raised $50 to "adopt" a baby panda from the San Diego Zoo, students started …

Out of Egypt

On November 22, 2019May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda10 Comments

"Foster, what are you doing?" Foster appeared not to have heard my question at first, so I asked it again, jumping down from where I had been sitting on the windowsill behind him. "I'm practicing my sphinx pose," came the reply. "Don't you think I look like a sphinx? "I hesitated, trying to recall if I …

It's not easy to sleep in the sewing room... But I do try my best.You may already know that our sewing room is in a constant state of change. That's because Mom is always trying to organize and straighten it up, and then she decides to make something, or somebody gives her a huge bag …

Fun at Yosemite

"So what do you think, Bro?" We were in the sewing room with Mom, and I hadn't been paying much attention to Panda until I heard his question. I looked down at the chair below me and was amazed to see Panda, proudly showing off yet another new outfit! "Mom made it for me," he …

Second Childhood Part 3

On November 5, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts7 Comments

Or should it be "Third Childhood"? I was going to name this post "Second Childhood, Part 2", but then I realized I've already written that one! So what else makes someone decide they really need a little animal family to make clothes for? I guess it's Second Childhood, Part 3!After a friend whose daughter has …

“Pencil-tober”

I know, it's really supposed to be "Inktober"... But I really wasn't crazy about the prompts list for this year, and I didn't feel like making up my own. No offense, you understand. I just wasn't crazy about them.So I took my favorite panda notebook with me when I went to have my car checked …

Why Mosaic?

On October 22, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics12 Comments

"I just want to drink coffee and make pretty things!" I've used that quote before, in "Coffee and Pretty Things", but it is so true for me that I had to use it again. In fact, I think I need to change it to "I just want to drink coffee and make everything!" So I …

3-Year Vet Visit

On October 10, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda8 Comments

"Dude, seriously?" Foster's voice sounded betrayed as he looked up at me. "It's not my fault," I replied from where Mom had put me on the chair in the vet's office. "I'm not the one who has to get shots."Foster sniffed and looked around. "No posters in here," he observed, and I remembered that the …

I was so pleased when I got this blue and green glass... Because I really wanted to make a peacock mosaic! Actually I made two. This is the first one, which is still not finished, because the tray needs to be painted. But there's nothing in the "Tracy project manual" that says you have to …
