My Kitty Likes Watching TV

It seems that I have a little kitty who likes to watch television. 

Watching an Elvis movie while sitting on my desk.

Rory liked the dancing. I think the movement had him mesmerised.

Saqqara was the same. She would sit in front of the TV when Angus was watching Garfield. Maybe she thought Garfield was her type of cat :D

Loom Knitting

Angus and I were looking at looms when we were in Spotlight last week. I never knew how easy it was to use them until I saw this video.

I'm seriously thinking I might just have to get a set of looms now. 

It looks so much easier than using a pair of needles!

Thankful Thursday

Here's what I am thankful for this week:

• Brodie had been having pain near his gall bladder over the weekend & I am thankful that the tests done so far have shown that it wasn't gallstones. (Yes I kept that pretty quiet but he's feeling much better now)
• the nurse who was able to find my vein first pop when doing my blood tests this morning
• the cool change that arrived late Tuesday night. It has cooled things down beautifully
• Mark and his being able to set up a Smoothwall so that we can find out who uses the most bandwidth & so that we can block 'outsiders' from hacking into our network & stealing our net connection. I <3 my geek!

What are you thankful for this week?

Stash Busting

I started a new project today while I was sitting down watching some TV & catching up on the shows that I had recorded. I have to keep my hands occupied while I am sitting on the couch.

Surprise, surprise I have plenty of purple yarn to use up :P   I have this thing for the popcorn stitch at the moment. I was inspired by a lego shaped baby blanket I saw the other day. The stitch looked the same to me.

The colours look a little washed out here. That blue is a lot brighter than it looks in the photo.

I have no idea who the blanket is for yet. I'm just making it to use up some of my yarn stash. The stuff that didn't fit in the boxes.

Such A Hard Life

Being a kitten in our home (or just a cat for that matter) is such a hard life. I mean all you have to do is eat, sleep, play, submit yourself to enormous amount of cuddles and catch the occasional mouse should one be unfortunate to enter the house.

Anyway, here's a few awww moments in the life of our kitten, Rory, who was finally been named last Friday afternoon.

Oooo a bag fell on the floor ...

I must see what is inside...

Oh I found a hole to attack you through ...

After a long hard play

I annoy the mother cat until she places me on her desk

Now she can't reach the keyboard or use the mouse properly

It's been a very long day and tiring day.

As Bright As A Button

On my Thankful Thursday post the other day I mentioned that Mark encourages me to go shopping for yarn. When your other half says go shopping what else can you do but do as he suggested. I wouldn't want to disappoint him (o_0) So I went to my favourite store (Spotlight) and bought a couple of balls of yarn that I needed (yes I really did need these ones, in a pale cream colour) so I could continue making my knitted toys. Although I have started crocheting a couple of things because I wanted to make some quick items to use up some of my stash that didn't fit into the containers that I have.

Anyway back to my story (I got a little side tracked) while I was at Spotlight I picked up some really cute BRIGHT buttons! A whole bag of them. Of course I took some photos so show you what they look like.

Here's a small selection: lady birds, hearts, apples, stars, flowers, teapots and a whale.

Angus & I had fun sorting them.

Mark even gave me a container to put them all. I owe him a new one but he said I'm not allowed to buy him a pink one (like my other container). I have no idea why :P lol
