Changes & Lazy Pets

I've decided to change my blog (again) because I am bored with it. I originally started this blog with posts about stitching and anything else I felt like writing about. Then I read a bunch of stitcher's comments around the web who said they liked "stitching only" blogs. I decided to make this blog stitching only and put everything else in a separate blog. After a while I've realized I don't enjoy maintaining a stitching only blog. I find I rarely have anything to post any more. I can't show exchange stitching until the person receives it. I don't enjoy photographing what I am working on after each stitching session to post a picture with a small amount of progress. I have so many things I want to do and so little time that I'd rather spend the time I'd use taking update pictures to do those other things. I'm on the wagon so I don't have stash hauls to show. All this makes for a neglected blog. I've decided to go back to posting stitching along with everything else non-stitching and using labels for navigation.

My only recent finish is a biscornu for a SBEBB exchange so I have no photos yet. The animals have been cute lately and I did manage to take a couple of cute photos of them. Usually they move just as the shutter clicks!



It's been hot and muggy with lots of thunderstorms here. I walked in the bedroom after work the other day and found Callie laying on the bed like this. She looks like I feel after walking home from work in the heat and humidity.



I was at the computer a few days ago and looked down to see Gus and AJ looking cute by my feet. Luckily I had the camera and was able to snap a photo. AJ isn't especially fond of the other cats but these two have always been best friends.

I like reading a blog that has a little bit of everything. We all get in stitching slumps but it is nice to see some kind of posting going on. I had a tortoise shell like your cat and she was one of the best cats we ever had. We had to put her to sleep 2 summers ago at the age of 18 and we still miss her today.

Cats are such sweethearts. They entertain you even while they sleep. So adorable!

I also like reading a blog that is a miscellany of the blogger's day- be it your cooking, pets, stitching, or bitching! Like you, some days (or more than "some" - sometimes!)I don't have time to stitch, or the time to take a photo of the little bit I have stitched. I think that it's interesting to find out that we are all different, yet very alike, all around the world, as least as far as our everyday lives and activities.
I love the new blog look!

I enjoy reading other things than stitching. I have missed your entries about normal life things.

I love the pics of the furbabies!

Love the pics of your cats. I think your blog should be what YOU want it to be. After all, it's yours, right?
