My Two Pythons

This is Zeus. My 8.5 year old male Ball Python. He is quite an affectionate snake. He is also quite the escape artist but tends to not wander as far as Athena. If Zeus gets out you only have to look as far as the nearest closet. He has been found in the bathroom closet on a few occasions.

This is Athena. She is quite a bit larger than Zeus. (Female snakes are usually larger than the males. She enjoys climbing and socializing. In the past she has gotten herself stuck in the console of my car and disappeared for a few months. We had no idea where she had gone until we heard some things getting nocked down in the kitchen. She decided to take up residence behind the dishwasher for awhile.

Pictures of Animals From My Trip to the Shedd Aquarium

Lots of fun and interesting animals to be found. I love aquariums and I never want to leave when I am there.

Potholder Pictures

Yay!!! The skull potholders are finally posted. They have been done for quite some time but it took some hunting to find the cable to hook up my camera so I could upload the pictures.

Tonight I am gifting these along with the two sets of skeleton bride and groom to my friend.

An Added Project

My mother had planned on making a baby blanket for one of her friend's daughter's baby. Unfortunately my mom has "her own" crochet technique. It looks okay but she has a really loose tension so the few rows she had completed were bowing out and not uniform. My mom works hard and doesn't have a great amount of spare time. So, I decided to take to task upon myself. Am I too kind or just masochistic. The HSPS swap has just begun so I am trying to get this blanket done asap. I will post a picture of the lovely blanket once it's done.

UPDATE----

The blanket has been done for awhile, but I just got the pictures taken. In excess of the blanket (because I had so much fun with the yarn) I decided to make a hat and a little stuffed turtle to accompany the blanket.
