I’m coming to the end of my third month of daily blogging. If my math is right, it’s been 90 days today. I haven’t missed one day. That’s great and all, but how’s it really been going? [Read more…]

Found on Pinterest, and I couldn’t agree more.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the USA, so I spent the day in the kitchen, prepping for tomorrow’s dinner. It’s easier than waiting and doing everything tomorrow in a rush. I had a list of special requests to make. We’ll be having 5 guests for dinner, and I’m excited to see them again. But first, one more cute kitty picture..
I’m not sure why Harold thinks Maude tastes yucky (is that what you’d call that face he’s making?), she had just eaten wet food.
They both fit in my hand
People have been asking me what Sweet Pea thinks of the baby kitties. At best, I’d say “meh”, and that’s being generous. She’s coming around, but I have a feeling it’s going to be a very slow process. Because the kittens are so small, I have them in my office upstairs, where I can close the door. The little mites can’t have run of the house for a while, they’re just too small. So, that’s making it easier on Sweet Pea. If she wants to visit them, she has to come upstairs. She only takes a couple steps into the room, and stops. As soon as someone squeaks or squeals, she vanishes. Does not like the noise they make. It’s getting better, she’s taken the hissing down a notch, but it will take a while.

I’m not normally a fan of purple, but in this case, I think it works well. I tried out different colors on the vase, like a deep red, and also white. It never looked as good as the purple, so purple it is! White looked better in the background.
I love this kitty sooooooooo much.
And guess what she loves..

I feel like I’m in an Alfred Hitchcock movie every time the birds migrate. I’m not a big fan of anything in large numbers, like people, birds, rats, bugs. I think I have a phobia. I’m okay if there is one or two, but if I see this many, I get very nervous. All I can wonder is if they swooped down on me, what would I do?? Scream loud? If it ever happens, I hope I’m able to find my voice, and it’s enough to save me. haha

I painted a bunch of these little paintings this week. I like to stick them in with my Etsy orders to give as thank you gifts. People seem to like them. I’ve had some nice comments about the free paintings. This is the first time I’m doing a batch of flowers. In the past I’ve given away little portraits, and abstract paintings. It seemed only appropriate to switch over to flowers since that’s what my main focus is now. I painted these on thin recycled cardboard.
This photo cracks me up.
Those feet!
Hey, guess what? If everything works out, Sweet Pea just might have a new baby sister (or two) to play with very soon. Like, maybe by the time you’re reading this? We’re waiting for a call back, and crossing our fingers that they’re still available.

Someone is trying to sit as quiet as a naughty little mouse, so her Mommy doesn’t notice her up on the work table, where she doesn’t belong. Uh huh.
I took this photo last week. I was still on the fence as to whether it was finished or not. I decided it wasn’t finished. Too dark! So, I worked on it some more, and this is the end result..
I’ll have more photos of it later or if you can’t wait, you can check it out in my Etsy shop here. 🙂
