Umbrella Wall Quilt Update

I'm making progress on my latest little wall quilt.  I started on this last week:

If you click on the photo to make it larger, you should be able to see the umbrella design.  I have all of the pink flowers stitched now, thanks to mom who had an extra skein of DMC variegated thread #48!  I thought I had another skein but I was wrong!  Oh well, wouldn't be the first time!!

In other news, I was sitting here this morning, answering my email, all comfy cozy in my nice computer chair when Lucy wanders into my room.  She kept staring at the chair, then she moved around looking at the other chair in here and then the basket that I keep in the corner for her (or the others) to lay in.  She then came back to me and kept looking at my chair.  I know what she wanted.

Needless to say, she's all happy, happy and comfy cozy now and my butt is parked on a hard kitchen chair!  I really want to be a cat in my next life and live with someone like me! 

Another Embroidered Wall Quilt

Not be icky or anything but Lucy is the cleanest cat I've ever met!  She cleans herself constantly so once a week, she leaves me a little gift.

If you have cats, then you know what it's like to be woken up at 3 am to the sound of a hairball making it's way to your freshly washed floors! 

Needless to say, I took care of the mess and then made coffee.  No point in wasting time so I started a project.

I've been planning on putting together another little wall quilt like the one I made for my pink room last week with the kitty on it.  I had another stamped embroidery piece in my stash and thought it would be perfect for my bedroom.  I think mom gave me this from her stash:

I'm sure you can't tell what the design is....it's an umbrella with flowers.  When I finish stitching it, I'll sew it together using my 1930's reproduction prints.

Anyway, back to Lucy, she's 17 1/2 now and doing great!  Her kidneys are functioning normally with the help of a special diet and special supplement.  Her thyroid is up a little bit but I just started her on a supplement for that and we're hoping the supplement does it's job.  I have to take her back to the clinic for another blood test in 2 months.
