Last Friday I took a fun class at the Country Loft called "Brown Bag".

Jo Ann does this once a month and basically you just bring needle and thread and she surprises you with a fun project that you can finish (usually) in the 2 hour class period.  This was my first one but many of the ladies had been doing it since the beginning 6 years ago.  This is the cute little wool needle and pin wallet we made.  

More cute quilts they had up:


While I was taking the class my daughter called to inform me that she and her brother had found a little orphan kitten in our backyard and could I  (while running a gazillion other errands for her big birthday bash later that afternoon) please add bottles, kitten formula and other sundry kitten supplies to my list..."why of course sweetie I was hoping to cram a few more to-do's into my day :)   This is Lemon:

I discovered that weekend that Lemon was a high need kitten  and "needed" to be in my lap almost non-stop.  My kiddo's were off attending various parties and left me with kitten care duty.  The bright side is that I discovered that while I couldn't really sew with Lemon in my lap I could do stitcheries and I actually finished these that I started last Summer 

to make this bag with.  It is also Jo Ann's pattern (Jam) from Country Loft. 

Had to buy a few new patterns.  Hey they were 2 for 1 what else could I do?

Monday Morning I was the lucky recipient of this happy package from 
Darlene.  I won a blog give-away a while back and in addition to my prize of the sidewinder she made me a little heart pincushion out of some Mary Engelbreit fabric she had cuz she knows I love it!!!  Isn't she a sweetie?  Thanks Big Sis!  

Later on Monday we discovered Lemon was one of triplets...yes we are now bottle feeding 3 kittens!!!  Or dropper feeding actually.  I was thinking of having a blog give away of kittens lolol any takers??  The good thing about finding her brothers is that she has gotten a little less needy, so I'm crossing my fingers that I might actually get some quilting done this weekend!!  See  the goat milk all over their faces...and Sarah's shorts...oh and the carpet --they are so messy lol!!   

And now I'm going to leave you with more kitten pictures...lots more kitten pictures...way more kitten pictures than ought to be on a blog but they are so cute I couldn't pick just one.  I am warning you though so you can leave now if you hate kitten pictures and not waste your time :)  The little guy in the middle was actually asleep and kept almost falling over...wish I had a video!  Meet Scottie and Carmel and of course Lemon...
