Yes AlleyCat…even you! He knows if you’ve been naughty! My kids are indoor cats, always have been, always will be. Well again I am not too sure about AlleyCat since she was really rescued from an alley as a little bitty kitty.

Okay I digress…but every once in awhile, AlleyCat becomes the escape artist. No rhyme or reason, no pattern to her sudden outburst, just open the door and out she goes! I was watering my plants and puttering around and she decided it was the time to run out the door.

She can’t go very far, so I don’t know where she thinks she is going. I used to chase her all around. That was really just a big waste of my time as she usually out smarted me, so now I just close the door and wait. This time I was taking some recyclables out and as you can see she was just waiting for me to come back and let her in. She was meowing at the top of her lungs as if to say, “what took you so long?”

Since I really am not stitching much…really I kid you not! I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite ornaments from Christmas pasts. A Terry Enfield poinsettia that was stitched mostly in basketweave….

This a little puzzle of Santa, hand made and held together with a silk ribbon at the bottom. I love this little guy!

This snowman with the great nose is a new addition to the tree that a dear friend gave to me today as we shared a cuppa holiday coffee and talked stitching…what else? and until next time…keep on stitching
