Saturday Caturday

Sorry I've been away. Mom got a cold on Christymas Eve and has been feeling poorly. She went day-hunting on Boxing day, but her Boss told her to go home, so she spent a lot of time sacked out on the couch.  Here's proof:

(In case you all didn't think I take good care of my Mom.)

She's feeling better today, so she doesn't need me to hold her down. She's off spending the green papers that are trapped in all those plastic cards she got for Christymas.

Speaking of which. Remember Homer, the blind cat? His person wrote a book about him. Well, his person wrote another book, and this one is a story seen through a cat's point of view. Mom and I read it, and it's very good. It is called Love Saves the Day, and you can find all about it here. For you Kindle owners who have not read about Homer, Amazon has a special deal where you can get both books for the price of one.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a heated cat cup and a nap I want to get back to...

(What did I get for Christymas, you ask?  I got a stocking full of spiffy treats and 'Nip. The perfect gift.) 

Easy Like Sunday

Remember I told you about Homer? Well, Mr Karate got Mom his book (Homer's Odyssey) for Christymas, and we have been reading it together.

Hey Mom! Get back here! We're not done reading yet!

(honestly!)

Homer, the Wonder Cat

You have GOT to read about Homer, the blind cat who...

well, just go read about him... RIGHT NOW! I'll wait!

I have a new hero, and his name is Homer!

Here is why Mom is calling the quilts "Stashbusters." See these bins? They are filled with blocks Mom uses to make the Gizzy quilts. As you can see, there are bins filled with fabrics of every color in the rainbow. Mom can make lots of beautiful Gizzy quilts with the blocks in these bins.
We put pictures of two over in the sidebar on the right. "Primary Colors" has a backing with black and white and green, pink, yellow and red. It's very pretty. The "Purple Passion" has a backing that looks like purple marble. Mom says another difference in the Stashbuster Gizzy Quilts is that the backings might not be all one fabric - they might be pieced from different fabrics. But she says the backs will co-ordinate with the fronts.

Mom's got plans for a gold/orange/brown one and then probably a green one. She is guessing about which colors cats might want. So if you have an idea, you should let me know.

thanks!
