Lots o' Kittehs


Double your pleasure . . .

Double your fun . . .

One should ALWAYS have multiple kittens . . .

They have taken over the comfy corner, much to William's chagrin . . .

They enjoy their kitten chow . . . 

They enjoy chasing bits of dog chow around the floor . . .

They enjoy eating William's chow . . .

The Cory cat on the prowl . . .

Posing . . .

Helping . . .

Exploring . . .

John made pizza and Cory (the original one) and Kasie  came to dinner . . .

They brought a motorized laser toy for the kittehs . . .

Who enjoyed chasing the little red dot all over the floor . . .

Confuse a Cat at its best. . .

The Quilt Story


At last -- the story of the quilt that occupied much of my mind and time ever since last August.  The full story and lots of pictures are in a web album  HERE  -- this is the brief version.

Work on the 80 Log Cabin squares began last August -- and all this while I was warning everyone that this had to be a secret -- no talking about the quilt around Justin and Claui.
 

 About half the squares were done and then came my knee surgery. It was almost two months before I could climb the stairs again and get to my sewing machine but at last, in February, the top was complete and on the quilting frame.  The final bit of quilting -- tiny hearts in the little red squares -- was done off the frame.

And all that secrecy I was carrying on about?  A few weeks before the wedding, I forwarded an email to Claui about all of us having dinner at a friend's house -- totally overlooking that at the end of the email,  the friend had asked how the quilt was coming. . .
Oh, well, given our community history of presenting quilts at weddings, I suspect the only possible surprise would have been if they hadn't received one. 
As I said, the full story is HERE.
