If they can have heart attacks, this little gray cat is going to have one today. Can you tell from this photo how tense he is?
There is a stare down going on, his tail is whipping back and forth and he's shaking.
Mama Robin decided to build her nest in the honeysuckle vine outside our kitchen. You can see that a chair was thoughtfully placed right next to the window for Shadow's viewing pleasure. Not sure he's going to survive, it's just so tantalizing to have this nest so close.
I'm really not sure how great of a spot she chose. Our cats do not go outside, but there are neighborhood cats that come to our backyard and Mama is only a few feet off the ground. Where is Frito you may ask? Not at all interested in Mama, he's taking his morning nap upstairs.
My next hooking project is a design as I go. I've amassed a nice collection of browns/taupes/tans/creams for a table runner. I have overdyed, as is and recycled wool in this piece.
I'm thinking it will be 2 blocks (I would prefer 3, but my bench is not that wide) by 5 blocks and then I'll hook some solid rows at the ends. The only constant is the black middle of each square.
Have a great weekend.

Lol, silly kitty. Mine loves to sit in the windows and watch the bees buzz by. He also sits by the front door and watches the "porch kitties" who are also his cousins and siblings, thouh I'm not sure he remmbers them. I'm thinking of putting up a bird feeder near a window as I don't think we get too many in the yard as there are no low bushes. Your runner will be beautiful. I love simple designs.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, they can look intense. He stills looks gorgeous even though he too intense... lol.
ReplyDeleteYour rug is gorgeous too :o)

It's so fun to watch cats do what they do. Our cat watches the birds in the trees so intently too. She doesn't go outside either, but she stalks every window in the house. The colors for you project are very pretty.

Oh Shadow Kitty!! What a perfectly furry little ball!! I have a real soft spot for those long-haired puties.....And, yes, they can have heart attacks, so, perhaps you should move his chair! ;o) Your mat is beautiful, Ann - I love those colors - and the old quilt designs always hook up so wonderfully. It will be perfect on an old bench! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
