Close to home

It is play time...

Pensive and poised

Sitting pretty...

Knitting, stitches and a pair of whiskers....

Our cat in residence big Tilly has found out where I keep my knitting projects, oh dear! I only hope she will not unpick too many stitches!

Looking in-through the frosty window series

Garfield is on the roof , again...

Snug corner III

Our cat in residence Big Tilly has found yet another snug spot and she seems to resent the fact that I found her out.

I was planning to carry on with my knitting projects....

...but our cat in residence Tilly got there first!

Tilly and the feather

Hilarious Tilly! I am not sure whether she has realised she has a feather stuck on her mouth. She looks at me very dignified and poised , wondering why on earth I am giggling away and yes, taking yet again more photos of her,...by now she thinks I am a very annoying paparazzi!

Stepping down...

I do like this photo, it has that paparazzi-slightly out of focus style, Tilly is stepping down from the chair, she knows she should not be there, sitting on my crochet, making biscuits and drooling over the mohair crochet. She is avoiding any eye contact, and I am smiling behind the camera, all is well.

Sitting pretty and caught red handed...

...Tilly is striking a diginified pose, hoping that I am not going to scold her for sitting on my crochet project, she is so poised!

In reverse order...

Yesterday our cat in residence Tilly decided to make "some biscuits", (or put it in another way,  "massaging"), on my in-progress crochet project. She was utterly delighted to find not one, but three layers of rounded shapes stitched together, soft mohair and pure wool, bliss for Tilly!
 In her typical feline fashion she reminded me that I really ought to get on with this project if I want to use this warm blanket this Autumn, well, it may be only the beginning of September, but it feels Autumn is already here, which I don't mind.
Note to myself: I must set a deadline for this project and carry on stitching!

The cat and the vintage footstool in the garden

This garden makes me think of Alice in Wonderland, the cat, even though it is not really the Cheshire cat, the gigantic clock facing the main street of the village, (and I immediately think of the Mad Hatter rushing about), and the 1970s footstool that reminds me of the mushroom where the caterpillar sits and smokes. I wonder where Alice and the Queen of Hearts are...

The cat, the paper pattern and some fabric

Learning about pattern cutting...

....or maybe just dozing off!

Tillona on paper pattern

it looks like our cat in residence has developped a penchant for pattern cutting and sewing, she too perhaps fancies a new waistcoat.
