What are these fuzzy things? They’re the butterfly wings for the butterflies are free scarf. This is the yarn my friend chose. And since this is for her that’s what I’m using. I am going to add the contrasting color tonight. I hope the fuzzy furry butterfly looks ok when I’m done. If not I’ll have to choose some regular non fuzzy yarn. At least my wings match. Because earlier they didn’t. I was knitting along just going and I didn’t read the directions very well at all. The directions are for wing set 1 (monarch) and wing set 2 (morpho). So I rushed along and did wing set 1 and then wing set 2. Then I put them next to each other and they didn’t match. I should have just done two of wing set 1 or two of wing set 2. But that’s what happens when one rushes without reading carefully.

This is my security for Illustration Friday. I rushed it a little this week and didn’t spend as much time on it as I usually do. The reason being: my shoulder is aching and it makes me not in a drawing, knitting, or do anything mood.

So, let me tell you the story behind this illustration. When Alan is at work at night and I’m taking a shower I get freaked out sometimes. (Especially after watching a horror movie) I’m all jumpy and I dislike taking a shower when I’m spooked. I think it’s because I can’t hear anything over the sound of the water. So I came up with this great idea. I have Nestle stand guard by the tub. And she does such a good job of it. I don’t think she understands why I make her do it though. What am I saying I don’t think she understands. Duh she’s a dog. She definitely doesn’t understand. She’s such a sweet good dog. She dutifully stands by the tub protecting me from my over active imagination.
