Art projects that I can't possibly execute

I had an idea: arrange Smells Like Teen Spirit in the style of Sacred Harp.

And another Sacred Harp idea: in a multi-level carpark (the sort with a spiralling ramp for cars to whirl up and down), position each bench on a different level and sing as loud as possible. I'd like to hear how that works.

However I have no intention of actually learning how to arrange tunes, or getting a bunch of singers into a carpark for an asynchronous echoey singing. Which gave me another idea that I probably won't get around to doing: create a repository of art projects that I can't pull off, but that someone with the right skills and grit could manage nicely.

Off you go, internet. Make my dreams come true.

That cat

I am working at home at my desk in the loungeroom. I've just turned the heater off - the room will stay warm enough for an hour or two now.

The cat yowls at the door, and I let her in. She might like to bask in the warmth too.

I get back to work. Typitty type type.

I hear a gentle knocking sound from the other side of the room, and I rotate on my whirly chair to see what's going on. The cat is under the other desk. Is she tapping at the cables under there? Knock knock. She could be playing with a moth. Knock-knock.

I wheel over to get a good look, and she scurries away in that craven don't-hit-me way that well-treated cats still use.

It doesn't smell so good over here.

The bloody cat has just laid about ten small hard turds under the desk. They made gentle knocking sounds as they dropped, one by one, on the board floor.

Ah Preston, it's great to be back from holidays.

Halloween, Christmas, and the new year

Before Halloween, I bought a pumpkin for carving. It day on the bench while Halloween came and went.

I was a bit surprised that it didn't go soft and stinky.

The weeks went by, and eventually it was nearly Christmas. I came up with the idea of carving a Christmas pumpkin.

Nice idea, but I didn't do anything about it.

Yesterday, on the eve of New Year's Eve, I finally carved a Christmas tree in the bloody pumpkin. 

I put a candle in and took a picture.

Done!

Bunnies, acting like bunnies

Ivy received a second bunny for Christmas, so now she has two.

They go around in a little pack. White Bunny is her  usual well-worn grey, with flattened fur and gritty bits. Pink Bunny is new and delightfully fluffy.

I find them around the place, acting like bunnies.

One day this will seem so long ago

So here are some pics:

Reminiscing about cakes

When the girls were turning four, I made two shaped party cakes. Luckily Hazel wanted a clock, which is a very easy shape. Ivy wanted a cat, so I went to the internet to work that one out. Here are some pics from way back when:
