Today, when I came home, I was missing a cat. That is not unusual, but it normally is Kaori hiding artfully. This time however it was Tiva. I gotta admit that I overlook her sometimes due to her rather dark fur. Yet, I do know *where* to look for her. This time, I had to run through my flat three times before a yawn led me into the right direction. She opened her eyes the moment I came into my bedroom, otherwise I’d have overlooked her again. She was lying on my reading chair which is covered with a very comfy brown lambskin. She looked so perfect ontop of it, I took some photos for your viewing pleasure:

Okay, I admit I have been kinda lazy these days - but only in terms of posting and crafting. I had a long interesting (to choose an ambigous expression) week full of just-too-important appointments. To interrupt at least the non-posting period, I will share some new eye candy of my cutie-pie with you. *everyone jump up from their chairs and cheer* You should feel honoured, because Kaori usually runs when I only so much as reach for my camera. Today though, I was lucky =)
P.S.: She is so cuuuuuuuuuuute!!! Love her. <3<3<3<3<3

Uneventful day. (I liked that!) Apart from some grocery shopping, all I did was sitting at the kitchen table puttering away. I have been working on a new crocheted cardigan. The pattern is simple enough, but for some reason, I keep miscounting the stitches. So, it is clear that I need stitch markers. I have some, but need more. Besides, who likes these boring markers?
A look into my unorganised box for jewellery making told me that I had all the necessary stuff to make my own markers.
While I was at it, it turned out that the rivet pins I had in stock where rather shortish. So, in consequence I messed up the markers with the square beads. Will have to redo them, I guess. I made two batches, each consisting of 4 stitch markers and 1 row marker. It’ll do for now.
Afterwards, I started to make a batch of light blue paper beads. Might finish them tomorrow. I am just not sure yet if I should add some powder to them as well (compare with the brown beads).
Being the klutz I am, I managed to get my favourite (crocheted, of course) oven cloths burned. Unfortunately, I don’t have any of the yarn I used left *cries* Nontheless, new oven cloths are now on my list of things to make soon. My kitchen is rather ugly, but spacious. I truly like sitting there, working at the table and listen to Agatha Christie audiobooks. Besides, it’s heartwarming to see my cats give up their favourite spots in the living room to join me. At least Kaori is always around <3<3<3
But I am totally rambling, a clear sign that I should finish this post. Thank you, Cat and Carol, for your comments! They’re are quite encouraging. I will try to update the About A-N page soon and also add a page just for my pies. Or shouldn’t I? Easy to get carried away…
