- foster kittens
- sick foster kittens
- one foster kitten who refuses to use a litter tray
- grumpy foster mama-cat
- 2 house cats deeply confused and upset by the sudden presence of kittens
- broken cars
- new cars
- house being put on the market
- viewing other houses
- sobbing hopelessly over the thought of leaving my lovely, lovely village
That last one is the kicker, although we have good reasons for relocating. It will all be fine. It will.
All in all I have not sewn much, and I have felt the loss keenly. I'm pretty sure I've never taken so long to complete a monthly Bee block as I have this month, but it was worth the waiting for because these were really, really fun to do! They are for my Siblings Together II bee, and the pattern is by Patshyn Catrin.
She asked for bright, fresh colours for a tween/teen girl, and I discovered I already had several almost perfectly-sized scraps to make these, so pretty much the only remains went into the ticker-tape bucket for making cards and collage! Just what the doctor ordered.
It's half term next week and the kittens are returning to the rescue centre on Wednesday so I shall be trying to eke out any sewing time available before Friday. I can't really begrudge the time I've spent away from the machine though... not to faces like these:
From L-R, Harper, Holmes and Hopkins. Hopkins is the dopey bugger who keeps getting sick and missing the litter tray BUT he is also dangerously cute and basically my favourite, so he gets a pass. They all have homes to go to and I will miss them dreadfully, even if Deeley and Marsha won't.
