Bird Pictures and a Kitty

Remember these 2 pictures I printed from online from GraphicsFairy and then I painted these thrifted wood frames to match?

Well I finally found a spot to put them tonight.  Well I finally CHANGED my mind and decided not to put them in my bedroom.

Now they go quite nicely with a picture I have over my sofa..

Abby watched me on the sofa while I hammered and rearranged and took pictures...with her....

and a few more...

and more...good night!

Have a great weekend.... Judi xoxo

Cool Weather Brings New Projects....

Do you have the same crafting enthusiasm in the summer?  Not me.  Mine leaves.  Gone.  All the extra time I have with vacation and the longer days but I'm just not in the mood.

Then at the end of summer back it comes and I just long to have more time.  Go figure.  Well I'm making Christmas products for my business and I'm working on presents too.

I finally started working on this sweet fleece.  I cut

and pinned....

then measured and cut strips and tied knots...

and it became a  cozy throw for snuggling.  The other side is a plain lighter colour...

Aren't the puppies sweet?

Adorable close up...

  A snuggly Christmas present but I can't tell for who right now...

I have also spray painted 3 more drawers..I'm getting ready to make more clocks...

See here completed drawer  for Geoff or this one for Richard if you missed the original spring posts... 

Sweet Abby gave back the yarn she was holding for me...

and I crocheted a flapper style hat..

here it sits over my phone...

but I am going to run a ribbon through it and add a felt flower.

When I'm all done I'll show it to you.  Hopefully it'll keep me warm once the cooooold weather comes.  It'll look nice with my new coat though I'm not much of a hat person.

Funny how the fall brings on the cool weather and projects are on the heat again....

  Do you have new fall projects on the go?

Hope you have a great day... Judi xoxo

Going Home....by Abby

Hi there...its me Abby and today I'm going home... :o( This has been my first summer with my momma and usually she leaves me at home when she comes here on the weekend. Its a 3 hour drive. This time she took me here on her vacation.

I was so good in the carrier and I kept my momma company by talking to her the whole way to the cottage. I didn't even close my eyes to sleep...not one wink! I just meowed at her.

When I got here I had so much xplorin' to do. I checked out everything. There are so many windows here I took over and kept watch.

....I got up right close to watch the hummingbirds but I sure did hollared at when I sat on the placemat on the diningroom table. I was only allowed on the chairs.

I looked out the front door and watched the little chicadees jumping sround on the ground and chirping at me.



I found a great spot on the back of the sofa to watch the world go by. I saw chipmunks and squirrels out this window. I got very excited watching them....

There are cozy lazyboy or lazykitty chairs to get comfy on.....

and high spots to curl up on Marc's hat collection.....

I watched the whole exciting cottage world going past me from the inside....

sometimes I was just so tired I plopped down in the middle of wherever....for a snooze...

sometimes I pretended I was in a real warm place someplace else when we happened to have a sunny day.....

and I even enjoyed my Princess life on the bed....

My momma says if I'm real good on the drive back I might be able to come back again.

Don't you hate it when its the end of a vacation? Meow!! Abby xoxo
