So, that last post was a bit of a downer. Not that I'm sorry about it. Life is full of both the joys and the sorrows, and I think it's a mistake to avoid talking about tough situations and topics. That being said, this post will likely be a lot cheerier. With pictures! (instead of … Continue reading What To Do In the Meantime

When Bad News Is Good News
We've been playing a long game of "try this and see" with Alvin's health for the past eight months. He's been on and off liver supplements, antibiotics, steroids, Vitamin B12 shots, and so much more since August, when he first started losing weight and acting differently. In January, we even had to take him in … Continue reading When Bad News Is Good News

I always get so backed up with crafting projects in the weeks right before Christmas - which … Continue reading Getting an Early Start
Quilt Cats

They love when I'm piecing them. They love when I'm laying out blocks to see if the design will really work. They particularly love when … Continue reading Quilt Cats
What to do, what to do?
With the recent addition of my new (albeit fledgling) skills in knitting, I have encountered a problem. Well, to be fair, the problem was there before. Throwing knitting into the mix just exacerbated the problem. What problem is that, you ask? Backlog. WIP/UFO backlog, to be exact. ("Work in Progress" and "Unfinished Objects" for those … Continue reading What to do, what to do?
