Meet Hemingway

It's official. J. and I have completely lost control of the animal situation here. Meet our newest cat, Hemingway.

He has discovered the gerbils, and has been enjoying the cat tv.


Hemingway was living with a friend of M. and B.'s. She had to move, and ended up in and apartment that did not allow cats. Hemingway needed a new home, and it seems we were that home.

He seems like a sweet cat, though he is still spending much of his time under D.'s bed. There are a lot of new animals and people to get used to, you know. It seems that he and M.'s cat, Amun, have hit it off though. Midnight pretty much has ignored him. But that is what Midnight does. I don't think poor Hemingway has met Nefertiti yet. He seems a cat who is quiet and not too sure of himself. I'm afraid Nefertiti might bully him, as she does all dogs and other cats.

Actually I take that back. Nefertiti doesn't bully Amun. They just really don't like each other. Much yowling ensues if they happen to end up in the same room.

If you're curious, that brings the total to four cats. We're not sure how that happened.

Making bias tape... otherwise known as the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) It's Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway time again.  I love bias tape.  It is so useful and so easy to use... finishing edges ... finishing seams ...  And while the pre-packaged stuff has it's place and I use it often, I really like to have patterned bias tape as well.  Enter one of my favorite little tools: the bias tape maker.  This one make 3/4 inch bias tape and I will be giving one away at the end of this post.  But first, I thought some of you might like to see what it does if you've never used one before. I don't have a rotary cutter, nice cutting mats, or even a proper cutting table (I cut-out things on my floor), so if I can do this, so can you.  Here is my admittedly quirky method. Step 1:  Lay out the fabric and fold a corner over to find the bias.  The woven threads should be at right angles to the part you turned up. Step 2:  Using a ruler and some sort of mark

Apple picking in the rain

Image
Today was our planned day to go and pick apples.  It was raining off and on, but when it comes to fruit, we don't let a little water get in our way so off we went.  We met our friends and enjoyed their company and picked a lot of apples (3 1/2 bushels).  We also ate quite a few. G.  L. K.  (with an apple nearly as big as his head) P8, TM and L. Now, I don't know about you, but even picking 7 bags of apples does not take us very long.  It's a shame to drive so far only to turn around and go home, so we packed lunches, headed to a park, and enjoyed the now sunny weather. TM and P8 A good day all around.  Of course now I have to do something with all these apples...

Kenzie on the beach

We have made it back home. I am feeling a little more balanced, but it was hard saying goodbye to a house we've created such meaningful memories in for the past 34 years. I'll write more about both later.  In the meantime enjoy pictures of Kenzie living his best life as a beach dog.  Note the ears blowing in the wind (Photo credit TM) (Photo credit for the rest MC)
