A quick reply - Lovely Lady - no - Lily has taken a deep and personal dislike to the interloper, she pounces with menace and grumbles most unladylide - where do these dear 'gentle' creatures learn to swear with aplomb using such filthy words!!?! At the moment she has taken on the persona of a fire-breathing dragon.....
Jak - yes she is a quick learner when it comes to knitting and crochet - as soon as she sees yarn she flies over and watches closely - a bit too closely I have to admit. I will be knitting and get to a rather soggy bit of yarn..... bless!
Angela - I'd forgotten you had a Pan, it was Eldest who chose her name, before we had even let him know that we'd found a kitten, he was found pouring over books and writing down names he fancied. Soon as he saw the little mite - he said - Pan. :)
Jacqueline - ha ha ha - love the knit one purrrr one :) (Thanks too for your lovely comments about my mitten - still in the singular but for A-Very-Good-Reason for which I-Can-Not-Say *yet*)
Fiona - That box is her best toy - Pan hunts down Lily's toys and rushes off and hides them in the 'kitty-castle' to play-with-them-later Pan says.
Jane - We are working hard on the cuddling bit (Pan allows us moments before reaching saturation point and scampers off) but each cuddle gets longer and more satisfying. I read the Yarn Harlot's blog and find her very funny or poignant and everything in between but have never tried her books. I read this article written by her and found it very true about being self-employed and based at home - people don't deem you as busy if you are working from home.
busybusybeejay hello and welcome :) your Ziggy looks gorgeous, rescue cats often pay back with so so much love :) I lived just outside Ruthin for a year while I was at the agricultural college. I used to go quite regularly with my then boyfriend, now Himself, to the craft centre at Ruthin. I would have loved to have seen the Nuno textiles and the pottery.
Thankyous done :)
I have been busy recently, hence lack of any posts recently. I will, show/share soon, but in the meantime I will bob over and see what you've been up to !
Have a lovely evening - don't know about you but it is l-a-s-h-i-n-g it down here still and has been all day - hosepipe ban or not our lawn is now floating!
Before I go - a quick picture of our fire breathing dragon..........

Lovely dragon!!
ReplyDeleteI used to live near Rhuthin too-in Rhewl, just towards Denbigh, when I worked for David and Margaret Frith (1977)
Hi, I've been popping in and reading and enjoying your posts for sometime now and I've just found that I can follow you (bit of a newbie to blogging!) so that'll be much easier! How is Pandora (love that name)...she looks so sweet. I am a cat owner too although my mog is 18 years old now but he had a bad start as well,which you can read about on my blog if you like,but he was lucky or rather we were lucky he adopted us!
ReplyDeleteFor the life of me I can't knit but admire....I've tried and tried but I'm useless with it...I have to stick to crochet which I've been doing off and on since I was a child. Thats why I'm going back into your blog now because I have never covered a hanger before and yours looks really nice so with your guidelines I'm going to give it a try.
Keep well
Amanda :-)
Wonderful picture of your dragon; I will hopefully meet her in person soon. The rain is persistent and awful.....
