My sewing chair is next to my desk chair. I turned around earlier this afternoon and Butterscotch was keeping me company while I worked.

Orca Bay Wednesday
Sometimes a girl just needs to sneak in a few minutes at the sewing machine. I still can’t get to the design wall, so I found a length of flannel and pinned it to my shelves and the blocks to the flannel. But have no fear, I am working through this mess.
Here’s Butterscotch inspecting the bin I had just emptied. Gracie it seems is camera-shy.
Life Happens
I feel like I’ve fallen off the face of the earth. I haven’t, it’s just that “Life Happens”. I tend to keep everything (especially my quilting) going through crises real or imagined and then collapse when it’s all over. The past couple of months have been a whirlwind and it has caught up with me. Two new cats, two trips, in between DH in the hospital for 3 days (thank goodness(?!) it was during my vacation) with a cat bite and mi$cellaneou$ car/home/yard maintenance that had to be done NOW.
So, I’m slowly getting my act together. The living room got a once over after watching a video of the cats jumping at a feather toy. I’m sitting down and working on the DWR – I’ve got about 5-1/2 rings left to bind, then I’ll add a label, photograph the quilt, wash it and photograph it again. (I’m terrified of the reds bleeding, but I really need to clean it before we sleep under it on a regular basis). Gracie was helping out a couple of nights ago. Last night Butterscotch was keeping an eye on me.
Earlier this week I’ve finished a few more of the batik blocks – I had pinned the strips to the center before the last trip so this required no brain. There are 14 more blocks to finish.
We aren’t going to talk about the Stars or the Alphabet BOM until after Thanksgiving.
In the meantime, I really need to do a bit of housekeeping. It’s so far behind it’s beginning to bother me.
Butterscotch & Gracie
A few weeks ago Ted & I adopted two cats. Butterscotch & Gracie. The picture above is one taken by their previous owners/staff. We were told they were BFFs. Until recently, their favorite place has been under the bed.
Gracie has also been found under the kitchen sink (now cat-proofed!) and in the fireplace.
Butterscotch has started venturing out. Here she is hanging out on the back of the chair.
She is also learning about being a quilt inspector…
and fabric selection.
Gracie did hang out with Ted, briefly, last night.
I hope one of these days I see both cats at the same time.
