We've named Phoebe's Kittens

Well, I should say the boys named the kittens.  They will be 3 weeks old tomorrow.  I can't believe how quickly the time has passed.  Phoebe is still doing a great job at being mum but she is sooooo skinny.  I hope she will pack on some weight once she weans the little ones.  I want to pet her and not feel all of her bones.

Aren't they sweet.  I can't keep the boys away from them.  They are all adjusting to being handle so much and now look forward to our visits.  They haven't stared running around yet but I can only image by this time next week they will be skittering about. 

On the stitchng front,  I am continuing to work on model stitching and SAL.  My stitching time is limited and I so enjoy putting needle to thread/fabric.  I look forward to any stitching time I get whether it's 15 minutes or several hours.  Baltimore Market was this past weekend and I was wondering if anyone has found must-haves?  I love L*K new snowman series and will most likely get that, and recently got Bent Creek's new Halloween patterns. Blackbird has a new chart of Halloween designs and yup I ordered that! I think the Carriage House Farms of Hawk Run is a nice addition to the Hawk Run Series and of course Shepherds Bush new scissor fob and pincushion's are darling.  I have also fallen in love with Blue Ribbon Designs latest 3 especially the colors of the Quilt Sampler.  Belinda is so talented. Oh, I think I need to get a full time job for my addiction but then I wouldn't have time to stitch.  What to do!  Have you seen anything that you must have??  Anything you need to stitch right away??  I would love to hear your thoughts and what you like.

Happy Stitching!

The kittens are adorable! I love the name Jilly-boo!

I've seen so many of the new fall releases that I love. Belinda's quilt sampler was one of my favourites.

Well, if they sold kittens at the market I know what I would come home with... LOL I just want to stretch in through the computer and pet those tiny fuzz-balls!

I am with you - the BBD Halloween charts are a must-have and I do like the Quilt Garden. I haven't seen much more that I really *need*, but I have a feeling that I haven't seen it all yet... I don't recall seeing the Shepherd's Bush releases, for example. Off to check them out...

I think little Lizie is asking me to come over and play.
A new fob from Shephard's Bush I must check it out. Working on a Halloween set to take to retreat.

The kittens are so cute!! I don't know how you have time to stitch with those distractions around:)

Nancy said...

Phoebe looks like a good mother, her babies are sooooo cute!

I love far too much from market and am trying to restrain from making any purchases until I finish up some projects, let's see how long that will last!! LOL

I've seen several must haves lately, but they're not the same style as your stitching!! I've been spending some time on the HAED site. I have to have (but not immediately) Air, Fire, and Earth by Terri Rosario. They're all lovely. And I need to get myself the last two Celtic Ladies from Lavender and Lace. I need Celtic Summer and Celtic Christmas. Those are my must haves!! Can't wait to see your new stash when it comes in!!

Thank you for sharing photos of such adorable kittens! Best wishes.

Love the kitties! They are so sweet! Thank you for visiting my blog earlier. Now that I "know" you, I hope to see lots of stitching goodies from you - LOL!

My market "wish list" would be the new BBD Casting a Spell and the LK annual Santa and snowmen. I'm hoping the snowmen have a small stitch count because I would like to try and stitch these up as ornaments.

Oh, I love their names, Nataly--especially "Jilly-boo." Their little faces are so, so dear! I'll bet the boys are having a great time with them (and vice-versa!)...

Oh, I already ordered the first three Fat Men by LK... LOL!
