Miracles do Happen!

AC&Sylvester406

 

Just the other day as I was walking by the bedroom, I peaked in to see if Sylvester was on the bed in his usual nap spot…which he was. I like to know where the kids are throughout the day and to see what kind of mischief they are getting into.

I had thrown some clean clothes just out of the dryer on the bed to fold later and of course that’s what he was curled up on. Why did I even think that he wouldn’t have done that?

AlleyCat had jumped up on the bed too and instead of heading to the other side as she usually does, she was settling in for her nap with Sylvester. They were touching…OMG! this never ever happens. So Sylvester with his big white whiskers is on the left and AC is on the right.

Okay so let me tell you the story, Sylvester and AlleyCat get along great, no fighting, no hissing, no catitudes. But you know AC is the boss and she never ever lets us forget that. They play together, they eat together, if someone meows loud enough the other will come to check out what the hey is going on…but they don’t sleep together or groom each other. It is something that I miss seeing. Sylvester used to torment AC unmercifully when she first came to live with us as a kitten and she has never forgiven him for it.

So of course I had to take some pictures of this momentous occasion! Not sure how long it will be before I see this again.

I am 97.5% finished with the beading of Bastet…so close but the areas I have left are a little tricky. I need to get the purr~fect shading of the 3 colors of beads in her paws and tail and I was thinking that it was better to save that when I was fresh and just starting off my stitching day. I will start off with a little something simple and easy and then when I feel great about how it is looking, I work into the more challenging areas of a canvas.

Speaking of beads I have used close to 14.5 grams of size 15 Miyuki beads, more than an entire spool of beading thread and I have enjoyed adding each and every bead. The results are amazing and I love it!

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  1. Oh, my gosh they are touching! They even look content. After 4 1/2 years my mom’s, who came to live with me after mom’s death, still hisses at my two if they get to close. My senior cat is still waiting for the visitor to go home. This picture encourages me that maybe someday this wii happen at my house.

  2. This is so sweet. Not only are they touching but they seem to be happy too. Of course the best spots are your jeans and weater. Maybe that’s how the magic occurred – mommy’s scent always works miracles 🙂

  3. I am so thrilled they are touching! That must have made your day! I remember when we got Elsie (AKA Girlie) that Jerry (AKA Jer-Bear) bothered her so much that when we went to bed we each took a cat and went to separate bedrooms and closed the door as we were not sure enough how they would be without our watchful eye….they are now the best of friends.
