Zappa report

This is a little report on how Zappa is doing.

He is such a cute little thing, following me around the house.  When I want to sew he follows me to my sewing room and makes a mess of the waist basket and my scrap bag.  Here he is watching over mamas toy, the sewingmachine.

Gizmo is very friendly with Zappa, but Zappa is such a naughty little kid.  He hardly ever leaves Gizmo alone and wants to play all the time.  This photo have “What’s in your bowl?” written all over!

  

Zappa is playing all the time.  Oh, boy!  Don’t play with fire!

Come on Gizmo, play with me, please!

Well, sometimes he get tired from playing.  I know several others that loves to snuggle around nice curvy boobs :-)

Yes, Zappa fell asleep inside DIL’s sweetshirt.

So cute!

My Stitchers Angel

Yesterday this box arrived from Belgium.  Thank your so much Evelyne.

Inside was all this wrapped gifts and a lovely card.

Unwrapping gifts is so much fun.  Inside was this beautiful needle keeper with my name on, a matching pincushion and a scissor fob attach to scissors, a roll of blue fabrics and lots of delicious tea bags.

  

Thank you, thank you, thank you Evelyne.

What I’ve been up to

I received word about my secret Angel received her gift the other day.  I am very happy that she liked the stuff I sent all the way to Australia.  Visit her blog and read her comments.

I got word from my Angel about her gift left Belgium the other day.  I am waiting patiantly.

Besides working on new patterns I have made this little makeup purse from a pattern that was a free gift from Fabrikkutsalget, Brumunddal at our annually Quilt meeting in March.

 

Have a relaxing weekend.

Zappa again

Having a kitten in my house is a lot of fun.  Zappa sems to love naps on the sofa.  Here his is testing out the best sleeping positions.  If you ask me, I don’t think this the most relaxing position I have seen.

 

He have a basket to sleep in, but he has never slept in it! 

Exploring is his favorit thing to do!

My sewing and knitting baskets is full of exciting things.

And a lovely curtain to climb with all his 7 claws on each paw.

After all this excitment Zappa needs a nap.

This time he just fell asleep where he played!!

Show and tell

Our monthly quiltmeeting is held 2nd wednesday every month. So, last wednesdag I went to meet my fellow quilters. I forgot the meeting in september. This meeting had Log Cabin as a focus. As your can see, a lot of different log cabin technics. Every meeting have a show and tell section too:-)

Fun to see all the different ways to use Log Cabin. Small strips, wide strips, off center, crazy log cabin, different colour variations and combinations.

One of our local quiltshops had brought some fabrics and sewingrelated stuff for sale. The shop have a good selection of Japanese fabrics. They also do long arm Quilting.

This is a BOM they sell kits for.

I have some work going on in my sewingroom. Yesterday I was sewing a lot. I finished a makeup purse from a kit. Also stitched nametag and roses for my Stitchers Angel. I’m also working on a pattern for a tabelrunner with stitchery blocks. As the evening light got poor and I realized I had to turn the lamps on, I diskovered a big Boo Boo. Today I have to undo to complete rows!Not fun at all. I might put it on my list for tomorrow instead.

New pet

Say hello to Zappa! DS2 brought Zappa home from school last week. He and his classmates found 3 abandoned kitten in a ditch by the school. Zappa is a playfull and cuddly kitten. He is potty trained, can walk the steps to second floor and love tinfood. We have no idea of his age, but he is definitly not a wild cat. All his mannars tell us that he grew up in a house. He is a special cat too. He have 7 claws on each front paw and 5 on each back paw.


Look at the big paws!

Hugs from Nancy and Zappa
