The new kitty

I let the new kitty stay inside last night because she was still a little wobbly from her surgery. She stayed in another room in a cage. I let her out first thing this morning. I set her down on the porch with some food hoping she would stick around, but she took off to the shed she had been living in. I am sure she will make her way over here when she feels better. I wish I had taken pictures of her to share....she is really pretty! The girls at the vet's office thought she looked like she had a little British Shorthair in her....I agree! I would love to find her a new home soon. If I don't find them a home within a couple of days, I get attached and have a hard time letting them leave. I have only ever given 2 cats away in my whole life!  haha!



Well, this is a short one today. Maybe there will be pictures of the new kitty soon....and maybe new dolls will be done soon too!!

Holy Moly....is that Alfred Hitchcock?

May20067  I just finished several new paperclay pieces....some Snowmen, Santa and this guy. I thought he looks like Ziggy, then my Momma pointed out he looks like "ALFRED HITCHCOCK"! "Good Evening...." she says. Anyway, decorating a Christmas tree is the last thing I ever imgined Alfred Hitchcock doing, but here he is doing it! lol! You can go to www.thecatspyjamas.com and click on the Papier Mache section to see "Alfred" and my other new designs. There are lots of moon ornaments there (of course). My favorite is Santa with his big belly, bottle brush tree and stack of wrapped gifts beside him. Look for me at Homestead Hollow (Springville, AL) in October, Christmas Village (Birmingham, AL) October 31-4 and Yellow Daisy Festival (Stone Mountain, GA) in September. I'll have these and bunches of new designs with me at the shows. If you do make it to one of the shows, come by and introduce yourself!!



Check out the next issue of Create & Decorate magazine....I have an Americana Make-Do in there! Seems like so long ago that I sent it in. I was surprised when I looked at their site yesterday and saw it was going to be in the next issue! Go to www.createanddecorate.com and look at next issue and you can see a sneak peek of the make-do.



In the cat department....a few days ago a new kitty came to our neighborhood. She is skinny and a little sickly, but after a few days of food, she is feeling better. And today she is at the vet getting fixed so there won't be a whole litter of kittens in a few months! ;) The vet's office had EIGHT kittens and two big cats for adoption. Couldn't resist going to see the kittens. As soon as I got near their cage, every one of them stuck their tiny little paws out, reaching for me. Its almost tempting to bring the whole bunch of them home and snuggle with them!!
