It's been a long time!

Obviously, I haven't been posting much lately!

Here is part of the reason why. :-D

This is my crafting space.  Full of cat!

I've been doing a bit of experimenting with painting rocks in a space at the front of the table that's about 8 inches between the Styrofoam and the edge of the table.  Keeping them free of cat hair is a bit of a challenge!

The cats both love this spot, but Freya has truly claimed it as her own!  As I write this, she is in it, lounging against the book, which she had been using as a pillow just moments ago.

Since the move, I have been doing very little crafting at all.  Even my crochet, for which I had a corner set up for in the living room, has gone by the wayside.  Partly due to the summer heat.  Partly because I've been working outside in the yard as much as I can.

Okay, yes, this is partly an excuse to show a cute kitten (two of the outside cats that we inherited with this place have had litters for a total of 6 kittens altogether!).  However, this is one of the areas I've recently worked on.  It had been completely overgrown, with several dead trees that I've taken down so far.  There are a couple of trunks on a maple in the background that are also dead and will be coming down, though I may wait until the current heat wave passes.  This is one end of a grove of trees I've been working my way through this.  Once it's done, I'll start on the OTHER grove of trees, though I expect to only work the perimeter of it, before winter sets in.

So lots of manual labour (and kittens!), and very little crafting. 

If all goes well, I'll be back at it in the winter!
