Scared the crap out of me; not the monsters but when Pat Boone had to walk over a narrow little rock bridge over a chasm with the weight of the world over him and that's when I realized, oh, this is what claustrophobia feels like.

I spend most evenings sewing ‘fidget blankets’ for Alzheimer’s patients. I also make unbeaded versions and donate to the local animal shelter.
I get to try new stitches, use up yarn and listen to books.
Win-win. #crochet

A benefit of having a deaf cat. It’s easy to sneak up and get pictures. I hope he’s Happy Dreaming on his heating pad.

Every year I do a sewing project for Christmas. Here are some I’ve done. The Advent calendar is this year’s. It’s a nice small project unlike the wall hanging which is 36x24. That one was a lap full, for sure. #crochet #embroidery #crafts

The Pro and Con of having a deaf (elderly) cat:
Pro: he doesn't hear the can opener; he stays asleep when I leave the room; he doesn't get scared at loud noises.
Con: he yells VERY LOUDLY WHEN HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. When he wakes up WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
Yes, even at 2 or 3 in the morning.
