Bilbo

I am sad to say that we lost Bilbo last Tuesday. He has been diagnosed with a heart condition for almost 3 years and has done well with it. Besides one upper respiratory infection last spring, he has done well and got a really good report from his heart doctor this summer. One Tuesday morning, he started having blood clots and was struggling to breath. It was a hard decision to let him go, but we were both able to be with him until the very end. I will miss him so much, but it does help me to know that he was one of the happiest cats I have ever been around. I am sharing this Christmas picture with you because this just shows his personality perfectly. We used to laugh because he would purr if you just looked at him or just touched him with your finger. He was the one cat that was happy to let the kids pet him when he came over and always wanted to snuggle with the other cats. He has been like that since Kenyon brought him home almost 12 years ago. I am glad for every day that he got to be with us...we will miss you, Bilbo!!

Just a quick note to say Happy Thanksgiving and let you know I have some great sales on my sites! At www.thecatspyjamas.com I have 15% off everything on my site! Then go over to www.thecatspyjamaspatterns.com to get $3 off any pattern or e-pattern! That means most epatterns are $3.50 and the instructions/recipes are only $2.50. That's a good price for stocking up! If you are looking for some jewelry (especially for gifts!), at www.tcpstyle.com , just about everything is 10% off. That makes a big difference, especially if you have been eyeing some of the higher priced pieces. Even the brand new pieces I just listed are 10% off.



Have fun shopping and have a Happy Thanksgiving! Prices are good through Monday and I will fill orders/answer questions on Friday.

I've been BUSY, BUSY, BUSY working on new jewelry! I have a few pieces listed at www.tcpstyle.com and hope to get all of it listed in time for Holiday shopping. Please check out what I've listed so far and keep an eye out for new stuff!!

New jewelry!

I've been working on new jewelry... I have several new pieces, but this one is my favorite so far! I used hand-dyed fibers, plus a mixture of old and new stuff to make the pendant and the necklace is a vintage rhinestone strand. Watch my website, www.tcpstyle.com for several new pieces. Also look for my designs in the current issues of Create & Decorate magazine.

Kitties all seem to be keeping me busy around here! I've been nursing a really bad eye on Dill for almost 2 months and it is just now starting to get better. Mr. Spock still has his good days and bad days. Just a couple of months ago I thought he wouldn't pull through, but he is doing okay again. He is a tough ol' kitty!

Has it really been that long?

Wow...I REALLY fell behind on my blog, didn't I? I didn't realize its been 2½ months! Where does the time go?

My last post said I went on a last minute trip...well, I went to Virginia! I got to visit the Waltons Museum, the Natural Bridge and several other places. After I catch up on writing, look for the photo album with my pics in it.  Can't believe I forgot to share those on my blog!

We've been busy working on my studio AGAIN! We've also had some sick kitties. My oldest kitty, Mr. Spock, has had some really bad days and I have to give him fluids throughout the day and sometimes encourage him to eat. He's better now, but I can tell he has gone downhill a lot. It is sad to know he won't be with us much longer, but he has had a long & happy life. I just have to keep reminding myself of that.

Today I'm scraping paint, trying to get ready to paint the outside of my house. I'll be so glad when its done, but scraping paint isn't my idea of a fun time. Ha! And it is hard to find time to create with a whole house needing to be painted!!
