Winter Class

I've decided to hold another class, this time with a very specific focus - making a Christmas or Winter themed wallhanging. The goal, as always, is to have fun and to use your own imagination and creativity. The class is open to everyone, with no fee. Everyone can read the blog and leave comments as well. You can find the class blog and what I hope is a whole bunch of inspiration, right here.

I was going to do a longer post about one of my past quilts, but could only convince Blogger to load three of the pics from my photo session. So I'll save the discussion of the quilt for another day and in the meantime, here's the gorgeous Pokey:



She is certainly my sweet loving baby.

On the topic of cats, I have to say that Feliway really works. For awhile I thought it didn't (something about spraying it on the end of the coffee table, watching Howler rub his face right into it and then go directly to the couch and mark it) but that was because I wasn't allowing enough time for it to really work. Howler went nuts during and after my aunt and uncle's visit but after going back to the Feliway and using it several times a day he's stopped the marking. Plus Pokey and Lily slept curled together on the couch for two nights in a row - a big improvement. Looking at the ups and downs of their relationship here in Paris, I can see the Feliway does help.

I definitely need instant proof that something works or doesn't. Like, if I eat this chocolate bar I need it to immediately travel to my hips so that I can see the results of my action. Otherwise, I'm just going to keep eating the chocolate.

It's another gray day here in Paris. sigh. Making progress on Christmas presents though it feels like really slow going at the moment.
