Pets Behaving Badly And A Project Update

Buddy discovered this dinner plate on a stool and decided that there might be something up there for him.  He's just not quite tall enough!

Max has a basket that sits on the pool table.  Everyone knows it is his but occasionally Milo thinks he will sneak a snooze in it.  Milo was sound asleep when Max discovered him there.  He stood over him, squared up his shoulders and glared, then swiped as quick as a cobra.  Milo got such a fright, he jumped, kicked the basket and fell off the table.  Lucky cats land on their feet.  Can you see the terror in his eyes?

I have finished one of my Browne Sisters blocks and  and only have the basket to applique on the 2nd.  I love how it looks after all the frayed edges have been turned under.

I have finally made a start on Phebe after deciding on a 3rd background fabric!  It doesn't look like much I know, but I have traced out over 200 pieces onto freezer paper and have the "coveted" green hill fabric cut out and stuck down.

Joke has told me that Klosjes are not sewn just on Saturdays.  Saturday is the day that everyone shows what they have done for the week.  Valentina says she spends Saturday preparing her blocks ready for sewing through the week.  This is bittersweet news because it means I can sew them EVERYDAY of the week, but if I do, I won't get anything else done.....

Feeling the Heat

It is very hot again here today (43c) and we are all starting to feel it.  The cats can't be bothered moving and Buddy didn't even look up from the couch when I took his photo.

I am off to Melbourne in the morning to pick up my daughter from the airport.  It will be a little cooler down there and I am looking forward to a little retail therapy.

Here is another Show & Tell - Ring a Rosy by Primitive Pieces by Lynda .  I love the border in this one.

Max the Cat

I would like to introduce you to Max.  He is 4 years old and is lucky to be here.  Early last year he was hit by a car.  Luckily he made it home after climbing at least one fence and getting through the doggie door.  He had a broken upper leg, severed hamstring, deep gash on his thigh that missed his femeral artery by 1 millimetre, a broken jaw and horrifically grazed forehead.  He spent 8 weeks in a cage at home (was not nice) and now, as soon as he is fed of an evening, he is locked in the house till morning.  To look at him now, you would never know what he had been through.

Here he is hanging around on top of the shower screen.
