I sadly lost my cat Lucky recently ...he was 15 1/2 years old.

He had cancer, diabetes, arthritis and more....

He was a beautiful boy!

He is the middle kitten in this picture.

His sister Trix, on the left, is very healthy still. 

He was very lovable, very huge overall, and his personality was as big as he was.

He made us very happy and we treated him like the god he was!

Arts and crafts really keep me going...

I do believe it keeps us sane!

Happy September!!!! 

Hot August!

It's hot August!

It's the last month of full summertime.

It's so hot here in the PNW that it is hard to enjoy it.

Thank goodness for air conditioning and fans!

We have been kayaking for fun and peacefulness... but staying in a lot too.

My daughter Selina and I got into rug tufting this past month.We saw a tiktok video and you tube videos too....that were fun and fascinating. It's the super fast way to make rugs....

We bought a frame kit (Amazon)and put it together....it has strips of nails on all sides to hold rug tufting fabric to the frame.   It is as tight as a drum. You mark your design on the cloth.  We used a projector and a sharpie pen.

Here is a close up.

We outlined the shape with black yarn.

Here is a shot of the rug tufting gun.....it is like a sewing machine in a way....just poke it in the fabric, pull trigger and tuft upwards.

Any yarn can be used. It cuts the yarn for you.

Here is the back, which is the right side.  After....you can shave and trim it.  Also you seal the back with rug glue. 

We had a helper...Davy!

------------------------------------

We had a wonderful bridal shower for Selina....she is getting married in September!

I am so excited!  

Maybe I will be a grand-mother some day!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This picture was from my first book signing.

I have another one soon!

----------------------------------------

It's been a rough past month... with my father having some hospital stays and I was sick too....but I'm hoping things will be more calm this month.

Enjoy the rest of summer!
