As you can see I am not doing very well with my color week. Alas. My post for Tuesday about the color orange didn't work out, and I lost my motivation. On with something else though...
This morning I was talking to my mother and mentioned that I would make Oliver a puzzle ball if I had quilting pins. She informed me that it wasn't necessary to have the said pins in order to make one. My pattern was indeed mistaken because I completed the ball this evening without help from a single quilting pin. I must say it was a fun little project, but took a lot longer then I thought it would. You can't tell from the photos, but the darker fabric has little mice on it and little pieces of orange cheese. It was love at first sight for Oliver.
Here is Oliver checking out the ball.
He chased it around on the floor for quite some time.
After that we tried playing with it sitting up. He is getting pretty good at sitting, but we still have a head injury every once in a while if I'm not quick enough to break the fall with my hand.
He didn't really want to break from playing for a kiss, but I did.
All that playing made him tired. Ha! If only that were true.

OH, MY! He is so absolutely adorable!!!!! Wow. When he yawned, did he make that super-cute sighing noise? That ball is really cute.

LOVE the ball - is the pattern online somewhere?
I'm glad your trying to blog again - your blog was always a favorite of mine. I'm always inspired by someone like yourself who strives to bring beauty into every day life, despite colds, business, or lack of sleep. Keep it up!
That is a very neat ball! Oliver looks so much like you...
Your Mom made one of those for Carl when he was little. The beginning of his "sports career". Alison
