Thursday Truth

Ah fleece. My favorite napping spot is a folded up fleece blanket, (unless there happens to be a warm basket of laundry nearby).  I know it's in front of the air colditioner, but I don't nap here when it is running.

Mom's got some Really Big News, but I can't tell you until next Wednesday.  Don't think I can keep a secret? Heh! Just watch me!

Christymas Season Begins

Mom will start decorating for Christymas this weekend. This is the first thing she put up. You all know she makes Gizzy Quilts. Well, a few years ago, she made some quilted chessboards. This is one she made with Christymas fabrics. Anyways, she hangs a different chessboard up on this wall every month. Later today she will put up more Christymas decorations around the house.

She has almost all of her Christymas shopping finished. She just has to get something for Pip-pay. And she is working in the sewing room on things I have to keep secret. I can say the secret things are for...

(no, you can't say that either Millie.)

Mom told me about secrets and surprises. I like to surprise my friends, so if I want it to be a surprise, I have to keep it a secret. Oh! I get it now. I will try harder to keep secrets so they can be good surprises! I kept the nice surprise about the Gizzy quilts for Jan's Funny Farm, so I know I can keep the secrets Mom wants me to keep. Good thing I can share them with Mom!

Okay. Well, look what I found on Google's blog: It's the story of how NORAD came to track Santa Claus and how Google will be helping this year. It looks like lots of fun, and I will be checking every day.

Mom finished my Holiday Gizzy. See how I was helping?

And here it is all finished.

Mom says she is gonna make some Christymas cookies today too, and will have them on her cooking blog tomorrow.

And I know who my Secret Paw is, and am putting together a nifty present that will go out soon! That's one secret I won't let out of the bag...

Flying Quilt Wednesday

Gizzy quilts are flying all over the country as you read this, and several have landed at their new homes already. You have to check them out at the Bizzy for Gizzy Quilts blog. There are several very happy cats, which pleases me to no end, seeing as how Mom and I really work hard to make sure each cat gets a quilt that's perfect for them.

Since I have been so bad at keeping secrets lately, Mom won't tell me who this lovely green quilt is for.

I can tell you two things.

Thing One: Mom has made over 50 quilts.

Thing Two: The person that orders the 100th quilt will get it for free.

Thing Three: There will be Christymas quilts...

(HA! HA! HA! Mom, I let the cat out of the bag, now I don't have to keep that secret any more. Ha ha ha! Oh, I feel so much better.)



Monty Q! Get out of the icebox for heaven's sake! If you keep doing that I'm going to have to rent an oxygen tank to drag around at the party on Sunday!
