I had a rather big birthday at the beginning of the week and my lovely sister Tora gave me a handmade gift.
A beautiful throw. I did try draping it over the bed but the cat thought it was for him, what’s a few cat hairs between friends? I have put it away for fear he might start clawing it when my back is turnedπ’ So I’m looking for somewhere safe to display it.
The cat is a sneaky little devil, when my back was turned he had his nose in the tuna I was draining for my lunch. I thought he was outside, I swear he hides so he can sneak out on me when least expectedπββ¬πββ¬πββ¬
Our little cat is a year old next week. He has calmed down with regard to my knitting needles and yarn but does like to help out in the garden.
Here he is on part of his favourite game
He likes to run up the balcony post, across the balcony through the lounge, down the stairs, through the kitchen and back out through the cat flap. And then do it all over again… Quite a work out for a little cat! Sadly the balcony doors are sometimes closed whereby he sits and nags until someone opens them π±
And extreme close up
I think he’s stalking a pesky critter πππ·
I have had a few more months not doing much on the Woolly Wednesday front. Only a couple of posts and not too much woolly work.
Here I am with my little helper!
Our little cat is growing and is getting better when the knitting comes out thanks to a few spritzes π
I have given up my shelf in the shop because I just haven’t had the time to keep my stock up. I did do a stall at a local church hall last week which was fun and I made a few sales. Still get a buzz when people want to buy something that I have made β€
Planning to be a lot more organised and motivated in December. I might even pay attention to WordPress reminders to post something. Really don’t know why I set them because all I do is ignore them π€
Hoping you are all better prepared than I am for the forthcoming holidays.
No knitting or other woolly pursuits to report on.
The culprit….
Maro the menace is the reason why. He can hear a pair of needles from miles away π₯ No wool therapy for me!!!
He’s had all of his injections now so is allowed in the garden under supervision. Now our garden has been left to its own devices this summer, the bees have loved it. Maro enoys chasing bugs but has been known to get carried away. Currently I have had to rescue him from a tree and the shed roof π And this morning he gave his hind quarters a dip in the frog pool, the toad who lives there was not happy πΈ
I’m hoping to lock myself away with my needles for a day or two as I finally have some time off work. With any luck I will have something to show and tell soonπ
August hasn’t been the most productive month due to the arrival of the little tyrant
I’m sure she hasn’t noticed I’ve purloined this!
My blanket WIPS are still works in progress because there is just too much work to protect and the needles drive him wild!
I have managed a few bags on my hook which doesn’t drive him to distraction and there is only a small amount of work to protect! But look what I found in his basket…
Casually taken from the shelf after knocking my pom pom makers on the floor!
So I am busily hiding things around the houseπ
On a brighter note Lucia the camper has finally had her brakes sorted. They were ordered from Germany and then got stuck in customs only to be the wrong ones. Finally sourced some from Italy π
So bring on September and let the good times roll!
The kitten has allowed me to do a bit of hooking so I have been perfecting my string bags. Sadly the ends of my knitting needles drive him wild so avoiding those at the moment. I have hissed at him as recommended by my kayaking friend but he just looks bemused and then has another goπ Avoidance is my current policy….
