I walked into the kitchen today with this scene. It was just too cute not to photograph and I had camera in hand...finally got a CF card! SO i snapped away.Few things:
**ally is so, so pretty and the camera does not do her justice. i can't believe what a total cat geek i sound like when i type that sentence but it is true.
**scout had to get involved when i began to snap...he is my curious george kitty.
**cats are not allowed on table
**scout's nose is extra black because he had been snooting around as the furnace was being serviced this morning...a picture says a thousand words.
** doesn't ally look so, so angry when scout walks across the table- now i know why they call it "CATTY."
**the lighting is so great in my kitchen during the day.
**you can see the debris from the building of the deck out the window there. i predict that pile will be gone by summer 2010. YEaH!
This concludes the CAT geek section of my post. I swear I am a DOG person.
the lighting changes drastically in here in the night. duh...but really, it is just not a pretty room at night. the kitchen is my least favorite room in the house as it is and at night forget about it. with the lights off and candles lit, it will do but otherwise.but I am really showing this pic because of the banner in the window. I made it! and I am really proud. few things there:
***i have finally sewed enough to now understand why people at the fabric store in doylestown do not like coats and clark thread. yep- i guess i will begin a thread snob now.
***i made this for 1.50- that was the cost of the letters from Target- this was one of those paper hanging banners like the HAPPY BIRTHDAY ones that are connected together that you can get at the dollar store. I loved the new monster Halloween line at Target this year but didn't want to spend the money on decos so I bought this and using fabric and felt and ribbon i already had made this handmade treasure. FUN, fun times.
***although i have become a thread snob i guess, i have one roll of sulky thread that i accidentally stole from sooz to finish this project out after the coats and clark thread snapped and snapped and snapped in my machine...i am still such a novice sewer. i make so many mistakes. but i still LOVE it.
Happy Tuesday.
