Nana's gift!

Gracie is IN LOVE with the present my mom gave her for Christmas.  (Yes, I realize she's a cat..)  Gracie didn't know it was Christmas, but I think it's fair to say that believes she is deserving of presents at all times...

It's a ledge for the windowsill!

It's the one for two cats, because my poor baby is quite overweight, and she didn't fall within the weight requirements of the single-cat version...

"Thank you, Nana," says Gracie!

(Again, I promise I know she's a cat, and not a person...)

Another baby quilt!

I've been playing around with Instagram, and trying to post things there.  What I like is that my camera still backs up the picture to Dropbox, but it doesn't keep the Instagram-iness, i.e. the changes in tone and color.  Oh, well...it's still fun.  

I've been working on a quilt for a friend who's having a baby and it's going well, I think!  I found the tutorial for the blocks on Pinterest on the blog Little Bluebell for a Stargazer quilt, and it led me to this great blog, Happy Zombie, home of the original block.  I'm not going to do borders around each block -- just the blocks up next to each other.  I'm loving how they're turning out.  They're so fast!  I have some directional prints, but I've decided that I don't care for them to stay going the same direction, and the randomness is super cute, too.  Below is a blue and yellow stripe with gray star points...I'll show the quilt once I've given it to the baby's Mommy and that way it will stay a surprise.

The shower is in a couple weeks -- hopefully I'll get it done before then!  HA!  That's always the challenge, isn't it?
