THE REASON WHY MY WORK IS GOING SO SLOWLY

Well, the title says it all...

How can I possibly sew with such
a nosy companion
(hey... I'm not complaining... he he).

Pinky is really sweet and I absolutely love her company, but I haven't been able
to work at the same rate I was used to
before she got here.
But her loving and purring
totally compensate this...

However, I managed to make some
more butterflies for the Pom Pom lap quilt.

 I decided to use it and just add things
(embroidery, appliques)
whenever I have time and feel like it.
No pressure! Is this heaven or what?

KNIT UPDATE

Haven't been up to much lately.
Just some quiet knitting,
nothing thrilling.

So, I'm working on my knit patches
(remember? for destashing wool?),
but it's nice and very rewarding.

And besides, with a little hyper active kitten
by my side, it's very hard to work
on something more challeging...
for the time being...
I hope...

KITTY CAT BLISS

Just had to share this with you

BUTTERFLIES

Whenever Pinky let's me
(yes, that's Tinkerbell's nickname),
which is not very often,
I try to get on with my work.







I've been trying to free motion
my lap quilt, but so far
it has been very difficult.

Problems with thread tension,
with wrinkling, and with design...

So parts of it I quilt on the machine,
others I do by hand,
and I'm even embroidering
and appliquing some
in an effort to make it easier,
but still attractive.

So far, these are my results:
