So this just happened!

 

I know, I need another cat like I need a hole in the head, but she was homeless and so stinkin' cute, and NOISY!  I was at a friend's house ordering some t-shirts, and this little noisy thing was there making sure everyone knew that she was lonely.  My friend is headed out of town and didn't know what to do with her (we're pretty sure it's a her).  She was just going to have to leave bowls of food and water out and hope.  I decided to bring her home and give it a try.  We have been needing to get another outside cat and wanted a female, so we'll give this kitten a try.  I'm not naming her until she survives at least 48 hours.

Don't you love the white tip on her tail?  Willow is a big concern, but the kitten didn't seem too concerned about Willow except when Willow accidentally stepped on her.

This was her second trip down the steps of the deck.  The first time, she was walking under Willow in between her legs.

She will reside in the shed.  She is currently using Willow's big (and very unused) dog house.  She seemed to be starved even though I know my friend had fed her and her tummy seemed full.  She's definitely missing her mom.

So, this post was not supposed to be about a kitten..............but rather to catch up on some sewing room events.  You may remember my Into the Woods quilt that was previously finished.

Scraps from this quilt were used to make 2 table toppers/runners.  The round one is for my mom's round table in her basement.

The rectangle runner is on my coffee table.  That pretty much used up the scraps from that quilt.  The remainders have been cut into strips and squares and added to the appropriate size boxes for scrap quilts.

Not a lot of sewing has happened.  I did clean the sewing room very well and cleaned Sarah's room as well.  She had taken all the books from this shelf, so I cleaned it and organized some of my sewing things there.  A bolt of fabric fits the shelf perfectly!

I did finish my Little Ghost quilt that goes with the children's book, The Little Ghost Who was a Quilt.  I have it displayed over the desk chair in Sarah's room.

That's about all that has happened in the sewing room.  Perhaps I got it so clean and organized that I am afraid to do anything to mess it up!  

This past weekend was girls weekend in St. Peters at Sarah's.  We did some shopping in Main Street, St. Charles.

And we went to the casino!  

We also played cards and poker, ate out, and did some shopping at the mall.  I think I have most of my shopping for Sarah complete and a little done for David.

Well, Thanksgiving will be here before you know it!
