Homemade Cat Bed

Meggie is trying out the double cat bed that I made, My daughter designed it for her two cats. We like having home made projects. The fabric is a wool hounds-tooth woven fabric, warm and smart.

New Family Members.

My son and his girlfriend have two new family members, Meet Milly and Jack. They are 3 month old kitties, brother and sister, Too Cute for words!

This is what I have been working on in the last few weeks, this makes it to a total of 10 baby sets for the Guardian Pharmacy knitting drive.

I have also been busy cutting up squares and making 9 patch blocks for the Aussie Heros and have posted off 2 lots of fabric to be made into quilts. Anyone who is wanting to help but does not sew can do so in a very practical way by buying some pre paid postal bags to send to Jan-Maree. Click on the Aussie Hero logo on the right side of my blog to find out how you can help.

My daughter and her husband have come down to stay and visit for this week which is really lovely, we do not get to see them very often which is why my blog has been very slow in the postings. We are having a very lovely time.
