Just a quick hello!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to check in even though I have no pictures to show you. Oh, I know! I'll post pix of the kitties! I am now in serious packing mode & have lots of things to do around the house to get it set up for DH to live alone for awhile. Kitties get their nails done this week too so they will be easier to handle if they get freaky and also they won't tear up the car upholstery! They are good kitties & I'm sure they will be fine.

Here is KC, relaxing, and Sweet Pea is guarding the boxes.

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY

I know I haven't posted lately. I've been sick with a cold. I didn't get any stitching done for THREE days and missed the Ro Pace workshop on Saturday. Crap!! Oh well, I'm on the mend now. I actually feel pretty normal now. I am very lucky to have dodged the bronchitis bullet this time!

I will start my updating with this adorable picture of my babies. Do you hear proud mama talking? The kitties are doing well, getting along, playing, etc. Here they are in the window of my office, checking out the neighbor's Siamese who was in the yard.

I will try to get you all updated on all my projects over the next few days before DH and I head off to Palm Springs & San Diego. We will be gone for a week. I expect to check out needlework shop(s) in the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area and get lots of stitching done while sitting in a hotel. DH will be attending a conference. The San Diego part of the trip will be all about visiting family & friends and I probably won't get much stitching done then.

Travelling without Sweet Pea

The Holidays are beginning. Tomorrow DH and I are heading to Reno for 2 weeks, and then several days in Phoenix before we return to Las Vegas. We will be gone almost 3 weeks. Sweet Pea will be visiting friends during that time. My friend has 5 cats of her own, so Sweet Pea is in for a big adventure! I am going to miss her.








I'm packing up a bunch of projects to work on, including new patterns to get ready for sale. My new website has a tentative opening date of Feb 1 and I want to have several new patterns available by then. So this will be a "working" vacation for me. Of course "working" is kind of a misnomer since I love what I do!

Happy Halloween

She's gonna get you!
I couldn't resist sharing this Halloween Kitty pic with you!
For once, I don't want the Red Eye out!

Sweet Pea in her Las Vegas Home

I don't have any stitching to show you today, although I have done some it just isn't enough progress to mention. So I'm showing you Sweet Pea in her new Las Vegas home. She is settling in really well. Today she discovered a "decorative pot" that proabably has a dead bug in it. Must investigate! Cats are such fun!

Just a quick hello!

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile! I have been concentrating on stitching my final project for ANG's Master Needle Artist program and I can't show you that. Plus my husband has been in town for the weekend and I have been spending time with him. So nice to have him around. This business of living apart for the summer is for the birds! Only a month to go though and we will go on a fun vacation and then Sweet Pea and I will join him in Las Vegas for the winter. Today I am showing you a new picture of Sweet Pea. She is getting so big!

Sweet Pea

Here is what has been keeping me busy! Miss Sweet Pea came into my home on Sunday. I picked her out at the shelter last week, but she couldn't come home till she had been spayed & chipped. She is a little darling! Very scared though, she had been picked up as a stray and I imagine she had some terrifying times! Until today she mostly stayed behind the washing machine in the laundry room. She's been confined there with all her supplies & equipment! Today she let me pick her up and snuggle her and she got to explore a little more. We'll expand her territory again this afternoon. I expect she'll be all over the house by the end of the week. Hopefully I'll be able to get some better pix.
