Today I present to you Mr Tom licking his chops.
I am in the middle of so many projects, with no end in sight for most of them. I may have to start posting about progress rather than completion. And of course this time of year is crazy busy for all aspects of life, so a good dose of cat posts probably won’t be amiss.
I needed a new fiber page for my spinning book, so I made five. Honestly, it is easier to make multiples for most things, since the tools are out and the groove is worn. I chose five because that is how many end papers I had when I cut the fancy paper to size. Random, but effective. I chose the colors to go with the end paper as well.
Getting the pages in the book has proven a bit more difficult than prepping the pages. I need longer metal posts, and something to space out the pages in the spine, to match the thickness of the page. Hm. That means I need to venture into a craft store. In December. With the other thousand people that need to do the same. Hm.
We put up the tree this week. We decorate with ornaments collected over the years, no theme, no ribbons, but bits of memory hung on the branches. So for Throwback Thursday, here is the ornament I made in 2019 from one of the chicken’s first eggs. I actually made three against the ravages of time and accident, but all three are whole and hung.
Oh my goodness, we have reached a new level of tolerance. Our two cats still don’t care for each other, but the circles of personal space are growing smaller. Enough so that they will both occupy the catio at the same time. The catio is not fancy, but it is a good size with plenty of perches. It has only taken five years for it to hold two female cats.
We’ve been having some rain. We need the moisture, but because it is November, it is a cold rain. Rather than scattering the scratch out in the muddy runs, the hens get their treats under the overhang.
I sliced a pumpkin in half and filled it with strawberry tops, but they were more interested in the scratch and dried fly grubs. They’ll get to the veggies later. Much like children.
