Pitbull - Good & Bad News

Well Pitbull was finally caught and sent off to the vets. Now the 'PCC' (PAWS Cat Catcher) did say that when she caught him, he was off for the 'big sleep in the sky', which I had thought was a bit sad, and unfair just cos he's an ugly cat and noone wanted to adopt him.

However, 'PCC' thought Pitbull was such a well behaved cat during his time in the cat box and at the vets that he had a reprieve and was allowed back onto the compound minus some bits he'd originally been proudly displaying around the place.

Welcome back Pitbull ! We hope Noodle will take after you in the 'good looks & charm' state.

My First Quilt...Almost there !

Yep, yet again its been all quiet due to internet problems and just about too much to be getting on with. I've had my in-laws out to visit and a somewhat hectic social life (well for me anyway) and getting on with my latest 'new hobby' ... quilting !

I joined a fabulous quilting group, 'Kingdom Quilters' and have met some really lovely ladies in the process. I am almost finished with my very first quilt, a log cabin and just can't wait to get onto the next one.

I also belong to another quilt club run by the same ladies, Fran and Karen, 'The Beduoin Quilters' which runs once a month and is well worth popping along to for advice and help with new techniques and quick projects.

Ok, so we did no quilting on this day but we all had a great time at our Christmas Dinner and were thrilled with our surprise presents of a unique quilted bag, quilting cd's, 'fat quarters' and much more. Brilliant Club ! So glad I joined in with this one ... it did take me 6 months to fully get going with it and my sporadic attendances are now a thing of the past !

Almost finished, just the binding to get done and that's it !
