He does that kitty thing where he squeezes himself, crossing the paws over his snoot, and curls his toes, all while dozing. It's like a reverse stretch to comfort himself and block out the light before relaxing back into a snooze.

I remember Lucy being absolutely terrified this time of year and it prevented us from going out to enjoy any festivities. 😕
Purrcival didn't give two bits about the fireworks last night. Such a good boy!
Now, if only we could break his habit of caterwauling at 4am. 🤔

Lucy's last summer with us we had some Galaxy/Nebula Petunias that she enjoy smacking in a pot on the back patio. It produced so many blooms and thus a bazillion seeds I was able to sprout and grow this spring.
Here is the first flower produced. The plant seems to love all this hot weather lately.

He's tucked into the back of my knee leaning on my hip. We are making hella progress in the cuddling department.
I need to pee, so bad. But I will die here before I disturb his rest.

Finally made it to the bottom!
This is my oldest sampler cross stitch project called Afshan Sampler by Marroomy Designs. I started this around 3 years ago and have been steadily working on it during Sampler September and Blackwork November. I probably won't complete it this year, but I am close!

Feeling good about the progress I made this week on Hobbit House. It has been going much faster once I got the main door done.
The organic nature of the piece has definitely caused a few visits from the frog, but overall it has been a joy to stitch.

Participating in my own way with #wipintoshape hosted by The Runner Stitcher on yt/insta.
I've quickly realized that I am both too single minded to stitch only by a factor of ten so instead I will work on a project for as many consecutive days as Andrew runs miles, and then switch on his rest days.

He's still learning how to hunt. Hasn't figured out that the sounds he makes alerts his prey as much as their sounds alert him. But it's ok, the twisted paper on a wire won't understand all your rustling.

And complete!
This was a great experience. Cathy and Bill are awesome presenters: clear directions, images, and demonstrations.
I have much more confidence in my cross stitch finishing work and drive to finish my giant Poinsettia Biscornu by The Blue Flower now.
See prev img alt for details.

So freaking stoked! I have my pre-stitch done for the Hands on Design finishing class tomorrow during the Spring Mingle online cross stitch event!
I've had so many things going on this past month! And now this little treat for myself! I don't think I'll have any downtime until the 16th.
Cont'd.

Stitched up a little gift for my husband. Anything that brings a chuckle out of him in these trying times is gold to me.
Now I am on the hunt for the perfect frame. Perhaps one of those hard cases used for comic book grading. 🤔
