The Power of Manipulation

Found via OC Cottage -- 
What if cats had opposable thumbs? 
All I can say is that the members of our Evil Triad 
cause enough chaos without that added advantage.

(we've already had to replace the latch handles

at our house with round knobs 

because

 the Triad members would hang on the handles

and open the doors)

It is frightening to consider what they could do 

with opposable thumbs!

-------------

 Fee's old shirts make excellent smocks 

or with the arms around my waist

 they become aprons.

This summer, I cut up one of them 

and made myself 

a boro jacket.

The one below, I've been embroidering.

When waiting for paint or clay to dry,

I take off the shirt and start stitching.

Just stitching, with no design, with nothing in mind.

I use odds and ends of thread first.

Then when all those long enough to re-use are gone, 

I'll just choose a few colors to work with.
