The Great Gecko Fail

On February 6, 2019March 5, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn MosaicsLeave a comment

Okay so I really like geckos. Well, not the real ones, they might be a little slimy, or scaly, I'm not sure which. (By the way, I got this photo, as well as the featured image for this post, from Pixabay.com.)I like to draw geckos, especially "talavera style".I even have a card with this design …

The Rest of the Story

On January 31, 2019March 5, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and YardLeave a comment

So I see Foster has told you about our new chair. If you've read either "The Puppet Room" or "The Blue Dresser", you already know that my front living room has been in a constant state of change. Or chaos, depending on how you want to look at it. It has evolved from a front …

Assembly Required!

We got a new chair! So this giant box came the other night. That in itself was exciting for me, since after all, we cats know that boxes are always as much fun as whatever is in them.Mom was busy working on something else, and I had to keep getting her attention until she finally …

Firefighters in Training

On January 23, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda10 Comments

"Foster, what are you doing in that bag?" Foster seemed to be deep in thought. We were in the sewing room, and Mom, who was busy making doll clothes, had apparently forgotten about us.I looked out from behind a pile of fabric. "Hey, Bro," I said. "What are you thinking about? And get out of …

Piece by Piece

On January 16, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics

In case you haven't noticed... I have been on a "mosaic roll" for awhile now. Awhile back I went outside to organize my "tesserae". (Don't you just love that word? It sounds so...well, artistic.) You've seen my outdoor mosaics and my "work station" on the patio. I can pretty much stay out here for hours …

When Cats Get Bored

On January 5, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda

Fact or fiction? Hi all, it's me, Foster, here to address the age-old question: "Do cats get bored?" Mom started thinking about it when she took this picture of me the other night. She was working on a mosaic at the kitchen table, and she happened to look up and here I was. She thought I …

Thy Neighbor’s Yard Sale

On January 3, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house...nor any thing that is thy neighbor's." Exodus 20:17 But what if they're having a yard sale?I think I've mentioned (more than) a few times that I have gotten some really good deals from my two neighbors' yard sales. You can do amazing projects with yard sale items. But …

A Trip to the Farm

On December 17, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda10 Comments

"Hey Foster, check this out!" I awoke to Panda's voice and realized he was trying to climb into the rocking chair with me. "Dude!" I responded sleepily. "What happened to your fatigues?"Panda's voice was muffled. "Mom thought they were getting too worn out so she made me some overalls while you were napping.""Whoa, she did …

Jacobean Flowers

On December 12, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing3 Comments

...are very hard to draw! I have always loved Jacobean designs, since way before I even knew what they were called. I still remember the first time I heard the term. I was wearing a skirt with a flowery pattern and someone complimented it, saying, "That's very Jacobean". Not wanting to admit my ignorance of …

Clouds

On December 3, 2018December 3, 2018 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized6 Comments

"...His strength is in the clouds." - Psalm 68:34 I have always liked Psalm 68:34. The whole text is  "Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds."  It's easy to see God's handiwork throughout nature, but especially when you look at awesome cloud formations.On the way …
