I was in a meowy kind of mood yesterday as I looked at my naked table without the glass…looked at Sylvester and realized how much fuller he makes my life. How much they both mean to me and I can’t even begin to imagine my life with a feline child in the house, their unconditional love, their purring and of course those eyes!

Even though I know I should be stitching on the Dishwashing Pixie for Ruth Schmuff or the Easter Egg House for Needle Deeva, I needed something comforting. I decided that Cat’s Night Out by Sharon G was the canvas that I needed to make my heart sing, my fingers fly and my mind relaxed. As I look at this canvas I see 5 cats here and realize that symbolically they are for my 5 cats that have touched my life. The 3 black ones are AlleyCat, Sylvester and Felix the Cat who went to kitty heaven about 6 months ago. The gray cat is for Peanut, a gray tabby striped who turned out to be not such a peanut! The rust kitty is Sneezy who was an Abyssinian mix who really would sneeze 20-30 times in a row and these 2 are with Felix catching birds and chasing mice!

I have almost finished beading the cats, well except for their eyes. I really wasn’t in the mood to get up and search for the green beads. Even though I have a wonderful translucent olive green bead for the eyes, I know that it won’t work and I really need to look for the Sundance green bead #14 which is “purrfect!” There is a little mouse to the far right and he too has been beaded with a silver lined gray bead and is just waiting for his eye.

I will stitch the day away today while watching a baseball game or two or three. I think that I will start off my day with the Reds & Indians, both who have been playing some exciting ball! I especially enjoy listening to the Reds announcers too as they have great pipes. and until next time…keep on stitching…and ooh Alleycat sends her meowy best
