I Like Thursday #172 ~Stitching with the Kitties


A good day for more Stitching
 ... with the kitties, of course! 

Fall has arrived in my scrapatch and it has been alternately
 gray and windy and then sunny and bright.


Fall always makes me want to sit and stitch  
while sipping a warm cup of latte.
Three of my kitties, Nutmeg and Maestro and Cassian,
 like their own dish of foamy milk.
Yes, the kitty is on the table.
Yes, I wash the table afterwards.


The kitties also have beds on my cutting table when I sit there to stitch.
I like their company.
Katniss is snuggled down in that fluffy clamshell kitty bed.
Nutmeg is on the furry blanket in the corner.


Maestro, as usual, takes a more "paws on" approach to helping me.


Cassian, who has not yet taken an active approach to helping my stitching and sewing efforts, is nearby in a comfy chair where he was taking a nap.
Cassian says, "You go stitch; let me snooze."


The kitties and I are making slow and steady progress on my

Your set up looks like a relaxing place for stitching, the latte looks good too!

Your stitchy progress is going great Pat. Thanks for the link to the eye wear, I do need a pair of these, so I'll go have a look at what they have. I have started to do some EPP, and found that I can't do it in the evening without some better light and eye wear. Have a lovely day.

Hi, Loved seeing and reading about your cats and the active role most take in your stitching. They are such sweet companions and I hope they like to have lots of pets. Thank you for the links and yes, autumn is definitely slow stitching season. Have a great weekend.

The evocative description of the lone pink rose bidding farewell to the sky resonates deeply, capturing the poignant essence of the changing seasons. The cozy imagery of you and the kitties immersed in the warmth of your home, working on the Be Thankful Cross Stitch, paints a picture of domestic bliss. The playful addition of orange to the pumpkins, under Maestro's watchful eye, adds a delightful twist to the stitching journey. Kudos to the author for sharing this heartwarming glimpse into a November filled with contentment and creative pursuits.
