Feline Friday

When you are a princess you sleep on a pillow!  This has been Puss's napping spot this week.

The wheat is ready to combine.  I went for my yearly eye appointment.  There were a lot of combines in the field and trucks on the road.   We haven't combined ours yet--probably next week.  I'm hoping they don't call tonight and want to come this week-end.  It is Uncle John's 100th  Birthday Bash tomorrow and our family reunion week-end. 

The corn is looking good, but we could use some rain soon.

I enjoyed my afternoon away from the farm yesterday.  After my eye appointment, DD 1 and I got pedicures and went out for supper at LaMinestra.  I had the salmon and it was wonderful.  We had a nice visit too.

The prayer quilt was delivered this week.  Seven of us were able to visit with our quilting friend and see how well she is doing so far.  She was very pleased to see us and her quilt.

I needed some instant sewing gratification, so I took a Cherry On Top layer cake and charm pack, did some cutting and made some big blocks.  I think Puss was checking out the little owls.

She seemed amused to see me sewing again--it's been awhile.  She just sat on the bed and watched.  Later she went to her hidey hole in the closet for a real nap.

This is cute fabric.  I'm still in the process of sewing rows together.  I'm planning a wide border to add more size to make it a lap size quilt. It's been fun to cut, sew and iron fabric again.  It's a start.

I'm linking up with Sarah, because I love cats and their quilters.

IF I believed in reincarnation, I would want to come back as a well loved cat.  Our Puss has the life I want.  She has had us wrapped around her paw for 13 years.  As you can see in my previous post, the weather has gotten colder here.

As soon as the house gets a little cooler, Puss takes her nap under our bed covers.  It doesn't matter how well I make the bed she can get under the blankets.   I always have to laugh when I see that "bump" in the middle of the bed.

 

This winter I think she is starting to feel her age.  She hangs out by the heat vent more.   This vent happens to be right by the furnace and is nice and toasty.  Love this kitty!

Sewing Interrupted

It's March!  Life has once again gotten in the way of my sewing projects.  We didn't get as much snow as they predicted, but we got plenty.  They even cancelled the calf sale.  We had planned to sell calves last week.

It took us most of the day to feed everyone and give everyone a dry place to lay down.  I hope this is our last shot of snow.

It's always nice to have a warm coat to wear in this weather.  It's even better to have food and a bed of hay.

You can't see the furnace vent under Puss.  It was a chilly morning and she was making the best of the heat.

BIL and nephew came yesterday to help sort the calves.  We are selling them tomorrow.  We will keep the smaller ones  and next year's heifers at home.   It was a gorgeous sunny and warm day yesterday--lots of mud.
