The Scrapatch Cats Crochet ~ Cat # 3

Maestro, who really does not like her photo taken,

is saying, "It is my turn with this nice soft cuddle crochet nest.

Now please take the camera away so I may snooze. 

Thank you, Mommy." 

 

Maestro Picks Our DMC Floss Pack Winner!

We have a Winner for or 

Feels Like Hiome DMC Floss Pack Giveaway!

There were 18 comments on our post and two comments asked not to be in the drawing. 

I wrote all the comment numbers and names on a scrap paper and cut them apart.

Ever helpful, Maestro joined me at the computer.

I folded the strips up tightly and put them in my pin dish.

Maestro dug right in but had trouble picking one up with her teeth.

So I spread them out on the table and she picked one right away out of the middle ...

... and chased this one off the table onto the floor.

Maestro is a smart kitty.

She only knocked one of them off the table

so this is clearly meant to be her pick as the winner.

I picked it up and opened it and Maestro gave it the paw of approval.

Comment # 11 from Nancy is our winner!

Nancy said...

Those colors do match your fabric better. I would love to win the pack of DMC. I tried to buy it but it was out. I have been hesitant to search for possible substitutes as I am just not up to the mess I would create right now.

Congratulations, Nancy!

I have sent an email notifying Nancy.

The floss pack is in the mail! 

Maestro has settled into a well deserved nap in the chair next to me in the early morning light.

Good Kitty! 

Thanks to all who left kind comments on our post

and to all our readers for your support of our stitching adventures.

Have a Happy Day!

July Surprises

July has brought many surprises,

like this wonderful "Vintage Chic"

Fat Quarter Shop Sew Sampler Box

and ...

 ... this little shadow ...

Now who can this be? 

As you know,

My Butterfly

crossed the rainbow bridge in March.

Not a day goes by I do not think of her.

We have all have been very sad.

Although I will always miss her,

it was time to find a new kitty to love.

So my hubby and I went to the 

Salem Animal Rescue League

in nearby Salem, NH,

where there were many pretty kitties to play with ... 

and this little cutie,

just three months old,

who conducted her way right into my hubby's arms

and our hearts.

We could not leave without this baby kitty.

Meet The Maestro!

Maestro is dressed to the nines in a black tuxedo and white cravat.

Maestro settled in right away in her new home

and is very busy 

learning to be a quilty kitty.

Maestro is a natural when it comes to 

inspection and testing.

How does The Katniss feel about her new buddy?

Katniss is very purry and happy and playful again.

Maestro is very cuddly and her

favorite place to sleep is curled up against my arm

in the same spot that Butterfly always slept for so many years.

It is a little uncanny how many expressions, mannerisms, habits and haunts
that were always Butterfly's own
that Maestro has adopted.

I know Butterfly is smiling.

So am I.
