This week has been a very difficult one for me and Barney, on Thursday I had to make the decision to put my beloved cat to sleep. She hadn't been well for a while and it was the kindest thing to do. She had been part of my life for 16 years. Barney and I miss her terribly.
A small part of my mojo has come back in that the work table has made an appearance. I have been finishing off the bottle lights. Decided to paint them in the end for coverage.
Another item I have made this week is this. (Don't look for the mistakes as knitting with dark wool at night is becoming impossible for this aging lady! Hopefully the first of many if only to use my wool stash up. Mittens to follow.
Now to link up with our host for WOYWW Julia at https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ if you wish to know what all this is about just follow the link and perhaps join us one Wednesday.

So sorry to hear about QC Ani, I know it must have been a hard decision to make. Glad that your club is back to normal though and that infection rates have held steady. I can't see any mistakes in the knitting! Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about your cat, a hard decision but best to prevent suffering. The club looks great fun and how wonderful to be all back together! Have fun! Helen #2
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry about QC, these pets leave a huge hole in our loves when they’re gone. Sending you big hugs and Barney too. I’m glad you’ve been crafting, it helps the hands and mind - the bottles turned out great and I know what you mean about dark wool……a ribbed beanie is great, fits any size head.

So sorry to hear about QC Ani. It is dreadful to lose one of your family. Sending hugs to you both.
ReplyDeleteGlad you have managed to pick up crafting again. I find it helps a lot. Your bottles are beautiful. Dark wool is very difficult, I agree.
I like the look of your knitting group, it appears to be an eating desserts group too! An excellent idea!
Take care and happy WOYWW
Hugs

So sorry to hear about your cat. They are part of the family and a great loss when they leave.
ReplyDeleteIt must be lovely meeting up with your group again. Have a great week Angela #7
So sorry to hear about your cat but I know she will have had a good life with you. Loving the bottles too. Good to see you all being able to meet up again and enjoy your crafting. Have a lovely creative woyww, Angela x14x
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry about your beautiful cat, I hope she went peacefully surrounded by love. Your bottles are beautiful, great idea! Glad to hear things are getting back to normal where you are, have a great week, Lindart #25
ReplyDeleteThanks for calling into my blog - yes I agree the computer games all seem a waste of time especially to a crafter who likes to have something to show for time spent! To be fair Ben just loves the Lego kits and isn't really allowed much time on the Minecraft site. Sad news about you little cat - that's life, but it is still hard to deal with. I'm glad your crafty group is up and running again - a good get together is priceless. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteHi Ani, pleased you liked the card. You're welcome to take anything you find useful on my blog. Have a great week. Hugs, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteOh such sad news! Rest easy in the knowledge that you gave her a very nice life. Sweet bottles, I still love that idea. Glad your group is going, mine, not yet, and I hope you have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW, late again

So sorry to hear this. It is always so hard when we have to say goodbye to our pets. Happy belated WOYWW. Take care and stay safe. With love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#16)
ReplyDeleteOh Ani, I am so sorry to hear about your poor old kitty. You must really miss her. We have been through this so many times and it never gets any easier as we love them so much. I pray that you will be comforted.
ReplyDeleteI love your bottles with the lights inside. They are so pretty and decorative.
Thank you for your visit, and for your good wishes too - I think my skin is starting to heal at last, as it's been a bit less itchy today and I've been less aware of it during the day. They said the worst of it would be around a fortnight after the end of the treatment so that's about right for timing. I am enjoying doing the studio storage project - it's a creative activity in itself! I do agree with you, though - it's going to be a discipline to put things back after I've used them! Today I used a stamp and now for the life of me I can't find its packaging. I've had a lot of stuff out today and the place was chaos! I hope it turns up!
Happy belated WOYWW and sending hugs for your loss.

Oh gosh so late this week (eeek last week) don't think I've had the PC on since Wednesday's link up.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your cat, some lovely photo memories to hold on to.
Loving your bottle lights, quite delightful. Not sure that being told to use your right hand as a child was a good thing but if you are ambidextrous now, who can say.
Hand and wrist still sore seeing the consultant this evening for my dressing off proper, hoping it's all OK, although still not using it much.
We'll see. BJ#10
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear about your kitty. I wasn't in WOYWW last week due to cat problems at my end, I know how this is and how much it hurts, especially when they have spent all those years with you. Elle #, EOTC
