RIP Faygo 1-8-2012

Ascension And if I go, while you’re still here… Know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure –behind a thin veil you cannot see through. You will not see me, so you must have faith. I wait for the time when we can soar together [...]

The Lily Bath Chronicles

Poor girl needed yet another bath.  She is having issues and isn’t feeling very well right now, so not just a bath, but a dose of icky banana flavored medicine (2x a day for a week…little does she know right now).

Really? I can't believe you went and got the camera.

I'm ignoring [...]

Les Chats

I haven’t done a Whisker’s On Wednesday in a while, so I thought it was about time.

The sleeper.  Violet at 6 months.  The new chief pillow tester.

The Diva.  Got off her perch for this shot.  Loves the camera even with a big mounted flash.

The angel.  Hardy har har.  The [...]

Yum Yum

Violet has earned the nickname Yum, Yum…

 

She’s a big fan of soft food and soft laps.

Lily Eyes

So Lily is the Silver Shaded Persian, who thankfully is no longer pink.  Well, the girl’s eyes are a bit on the runny side and it’s really noticeable on her white fur.  I must have been wiping her eyes 3x a day a least.  No one liked that… and I found I didn’t even take [...]

Welcome Violet!

Welcome Violet!  She’s a 4.5 month old Tortoiseshell Persian.

She’s already taken over the house.  Normally I set up the bathroom for them to acclimate.  Well after dinner she wasn’t having any of that.   She pounded on the door and wanted out now!  She slept right in bed cuddling up to us the very [...]

DIY – Quilter’s Ironing Board

Have you ever wanted more space to iron on?  A nice sturdy space that doesn’t wobble and that you can really press those blocks without the ironing board flexing everywhere?  Well after going to a Quilt to You Wilt and the big quilting ironing board was talked about by the ladies and apparently all the [...]

The Top

The table runner is now a quilt top complete with borders.  This has been a really fun project.  Tuesday we sandwich and start quilting.

 I can’t believe it’s Sunday night.  I would like another day just to recuperate.  This weekend was not ideal to say the least.  I found our poor Charlie kitty convulsing [...]

Farmer’s Wife

I signed up at one of my LQS to do a Farmer’s Wife quilt along.  I had a chance to pop over to the store today to pick up supplies.  I want to do this in reproduction fabric, but alas I had none in my stash.  Poor me… it required stash enhancement.  I wanted to [...]

The Helpers

I have lots of helpers that like to sew… well sew and spin, but lately there’s been a lot of sewing and quilting.

Anyway… here is how they like to help.

Notice that tongue… mmmm… tastes good.

Here is how I like them to help.

I’m ignoring you… blissed out in the softest [...]
