What I have been up to

I am supposed to be working on catbeds for a cat shelter, but I have been busy making presents for friends, and my friend's kids, it seems that every one that I know was born in the Spring...

This was my latest project, to make a sweet little ladybug rock for one of my bestfriends, the rock is for her, the hat is for her little girl, and the beanbag is for her little boy ;)



I did manage to finish two cat beds for one of the cat shelters, here they are, my cats, PooToo and Garfield were just testing them, after these beds are done ( 3 more to go ) I will take a break to make some extra special and fuzzy ones for my furry munchkins.






My kids, and my furry kids ;)

Thank You Presents, Welcome Back Presents and Birthday Presents

I have been very busy, making stuff for friends, the frog is for a dear friend of mine, that baby sat my kids this weekend.. the hats are birthday presents for two little sisters, then I made one exactly like those two for another little girl that came back from Brazil, and I also gave her that little bumble bee as a Welcome Back present ;) so yeah.. I have been busy.

Yellow Submarine

On Saturday my husband turned 30, having no money after our kitty's double surgery I painted something for him, I am hoping he liked it ;)
The rock is my first painted rock of 2009, I still have many many catbeds to make but for now, I am taking a break to paint a thank you present for a friend, a frog-rock. I will show the photos later.

Here is my present to my hubby love of my life.




The finished present:

Did you say a little prayer for Rocky?

If you did, thank you, that might have saved our big boy, we brought him back from the Vet on Saturday night, I gave PJ the kitty that lives at the vet one of my CatBeds as a thank you present. He didn't do as much as the Vet did, but every time that I had to go he was my comfort.

Rocky came home in one piece, he was so happy to be home though, that he would not stop rubbing him self against us and playing like the little kitty that he is, that was on Saturday. By Sunday night, we notice stuff coming out from in between his stitches, in a panic we took him to our local Emergency Clinic. By the time we got there so much was coming out of him that I thought we were going to loose him for sure. After a second surgery to re open him up and to clean what had come out and to patch him back up, he was able to come home on that very same night. Now we are keeping him locked up in our bathroom away from high counters and the activity of the house... He is a very lucky boy to be alive, and so are we, since on the night that we had to drive him to the Vet there was a weather warning and cops were telling people to get off the road, we were slidding on our big red van all over the road, it took us so long to get to the Vet that it gave Rocky time to do more damage to him self.. it was quiet the ordeal.

Well he is home today all better, in pain ( I can tell ) but happy once again to be home with his family. He better last a couple of decades as my older cat PooToo ( 17 years old ) has ;)
