CATS

 


So often at markets, someone will say "Oh they are so lovely.  But I'd love one with CATS, or Smaller, or, or, or",   bla bla bla.  You get the drift.

It does my head in to be honest.

But, I do think I will make ONE with Cats, to see how it goes.

I have three dog ones at the moment, and they have sat on the stall for months.

I bet if I didn't have them, some bugger would want a DOG RUNNER!

That is kinda how I feel about having a Cat Runner.  I bet once I have one, no one will want it.

But, I will make one, just for the bloody hell of it.

Which means going out today to find a little piece of Cat fabric.

Once that is done, I'll come home and make it up, then start quilting and binding all the small runners I've made the past few days.

ABOVE:  Bedroom #3 is totally empty, cleaned and ready to have it's door closed.

Bedroom #1 only has the Queen size bed in it, which the buyers of the house have bought.  I can close it's door as well.

Bedroom #2 had the single bed in it, and that is all.  We are taking that bed with us.  Basically, that room is done as well.

The Sunroom (top and bottom sections) have a couple of things in them that are leaving for other homes.  So that room is done too.

It is coming together slowly but surely. 

LOTS OF TICKS.  ✔✔✔✔

Worth noting, I am sleeping SO MUCH BETTER now!  I know it's not due to the temperature dropping, it's purely due to less STRESS.  Selling/buying houses is damn stressful.  I hope we never have to do it again.

I'm so thankful to be getting a better night's sleep.

Alright, time to get up and start the day.


12.45 pm.  It has been a very busy morning.
I spent a good two hours fluffing around the house, cleaning, moving stuff and so on.
Then I went to Spotlight and found the ONLY cat fabric they had:


ABOVE:  I just finished making up this little Cat Runner.  
I plan on making one more this afternoon, then I will move on to quilting and binding them all.

ABOVE:  And there we have Cat Runner #2.  And I'm done for the day.
I've been on the go since my feet hit the floor.
Time to take a break.


ABOVE:  Who asked to see the Dog Runners?  There they are.

9.58 pm:  I took another load over to our Storage Unit this afternoon.  It is almost full!

It's been the usual sort of evening here.  I'm watching Coronation Street, then off to bed.
Catch ya tomorrow.

    Just noticed the cat at top of page. There are a lot of cat mad people so I'm sure they'll sell well. The house looks so empty. I hope you've kept that beautiful cabinet you had in the foyer. Kj

  4. It can always be a gift for your Lacy. I am not big on animals in decor.

  7. The problem with dog things is.. people want the dog to look like their dog. And there are soooo many breeds. Fewer issues with cats. Illustrated, funky cats would work too.

    Is all your outside/yard maintenance provided at the new place? Snow shoveling, mowing, weeding, etc?

    The villas in my neighborhood have everything included. I am in a neighborhood with lots of regular houses. (There is a golf course and an outdoor pool too.) Three streets are villas (smaller stand alone houses with smaller yards). The rest of the houses are regular.

    Not suggesting this for you. I was just thinking about a neighbor (this morning) who downsized to a downtown apartment with no yard about ten years ago.

    They moved to a tallish building with lots of apartments. They wanted to downsize very dramatically. They sold/gave away most of the original house contents. They moved the minimum of furniture and indoor stuff. The goal was to travel.

    When they moved, it was such a drastic change, that they did not know how it was going to go. So they put all their garage and outside stuff in a friend’s barn for a year. Patio furniture, lawn mower, wheel barrow, rakes, shovels, trimmers, etc.

    At the end of the year, they did stay in the apartment. And everything in the barn went to the barn’s owners.

  13. I am so glad to know you're better. Stress is a killer. Moving is so hard. Even if it isn't a long distance. We have done both & neither was easy. I think the runners are very nice & will sell. Market season just started so I bet before long stock will be running low.
