Hi. I’m Hannah.
If you recognized the stuff in the picture above, you probably have already guessed that the Mother of Cats and I spent the day working in her sewing room. First, I helped her cut out all of her little pieces of fabric. Then she got out the big roll of batting and I helped her with that, too.
I carefully supervised the Mother of Cats’ work while she sewed all of the fabric and stuff together…
When we were done (this all took a couple of hours and I want to say that I absolutely needed some TUNA and a nap after all of this…) we had made 4 placemats and two of these snazzy holders that go on bowls in the microwave so the Mother of Cats can handle them without burning her hands. She said that they are called cozies, and she found the pattern years ago on the internet. She should have fur on her paws like Mateo, but whatever. This works for her, and they were kind of fun to sew.
So that’s mostly what went on today. The Mother of Cats has been doing some knitting (okay, a lot of knitting…) but I decided to not talk about that today. After all, this post is all about CATURDAY, right? I guess that I can show you some of the plants that have started blooming in the last couple of weeks, but before I do that, I have to show you what the bunny out back by our catio has been up to.
Mateo really, really wanted to eat play with the bunny today while it was snacking in the garden, but the Mother of Cats wouldn’t let him out into the yard. Mateo was so focused on the bunny the Mother of Cats had to finally go out and pick him up to get him back indoors; that bunny didn’t even slow down at all in its flower snacking while she was getting him back into the house. Kind of a brazen bunny, right? Personally, I think that if the Mother of Cats let the CoalBear into the yard he could teach it some manners…
While I’m on flowers, here’s the blooming that is going on inside.
You probably recognize the African violet on the left and the orchid on the right. The flower in the middle is the big bougainvillea plant that the Mother of Cats dragged into the house last fall. Now it is covered with lots of new growth and the flowers are starting to pop out all over. Yay! Mateo loves to take naps right next to the plant.
Well, that’s all for now. Time for me to get some cookies and then a little nap.
