Day 89 - Case of the Mondays

On this chilly and rainy day, every man, woman, and kitten in this house has a case of the Mondays.
Might just be best to sleep through the day.

Day 88 - NASCAR Sunday

I’ve mentioned before about how I wound up watching NASCAR for the first time. Here we are years later having watched dozens of races on TV and even a couple in person. As we watched the races from Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida on TV today, I’m reminded of our visit to the same racetrack a couple years back. It was Championship Weekend and the place was packed.
Us with the other 40,000 fans
After experiencing a couple days of in-person racing we decided we much prefer watching the races from the comfort of our recliners.

I have someone sharing the recliner with me today who agrees. Although I don’t know if Sage is cheering the drivers on or trying to do the wave. Whichever it is, he’s excited!

Day 87 - A Messy Machine

The more quilting I've done on the Wrestling Quilt AKA the Fabric Headache Quilt AKA the Procrastination Quilt, the more my sewing machine has been making weird noises. So today I decided to take things apart, clean the machine up, and get some oil to it. Probably a good thing I did, too.

Here's where I started:
A fuzzy mess
Here's what it looks like now:
Pretty and shiny
I suspect my machine will now hum away just fine!

Day 86 - Foster Kitten Friday


On this Foster Friday we have some independent kitties. They are on their own schedules and are eating big, playing hard, and sleeping deep. Yep, they are basically running the show around here now.

Whether they are wrestling with the blanket,
claiming a cereal box as their own,
Thyme
stealing someone's shoes,
Parsley, Sage, and Rosemary
stealing the recliner,
Thyme, Sage, and Rosemary
or working on a blog,
Parsley and Rosemary at work with Sage sleeping on the job.
they work hard at wearing themselves out. 
Not a growl or hiss from Sage...just a yawn.

Want to help contribute to the work I do with foster kittens? I have an Amazon wish list right here. These are the things I use again and again, year after year. With daily laundry and frequent cleaning, items have to be replaced often. I’d love anything you’d be willing to send my way!

As they get tuckered out they find a myriad of places to sleep.

They love the lap
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary
and the couch
Rosemary
and the cat tree.
Sage
All four sweet babies
Eat/play/sleep and repeat days happening here in kitten land.

Ever heard of quilt wrestling? Just try and machine quilt this huge thing and the definition will be crystal clear.
