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.

The red gingham heart...

...one of my Mom's recent cretive projects. Where does she get her endless patience to create such pieces I really don't know! Awesome, cute and inspiring!

Cosy late Autumn afternoon

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

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

My very first sewing machine

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!

Clouds on a curtain...

Mum's latest gift

With some lovely fabric that a friend of mine sent us from Italy, Mumsy got very busy and this is what she came up with, utterly lovely and snug!
