Oh my! Has it really been a week since the last time? So much for good intentions! But you see there has been a very valid excuse for my inablity to focus on anything for my than a minute this week. We have a new addition to the household. 5 days ago an 8 week old ball of black fluff in the shape of Django the kitten entered out lives and we will never be the same again! Neither will our resident 12 year old female cat!!!
For 2 days I just sat, entraced! How much energy can something so small have? And then, when I tried to get back to working again, I discovered that little Django is a crafter, too! He sat next to me on the sofa, happily playing with every piece of equipment or scrap of wool, button or bell I put down next to him. I was making up a batch of button hearts for Hoppers in Darlington, and any spare buttons I thread onto a length of wool to keep safe. They are easier to count like that rather than stored in a bag. Now, of course, I find they also make the perfect cat toy like this, too.
I have a lot of ribbon. It gets used for a number of things. A metre long piece is currently tied around a piece of screwed up paper making another favourite kitten toy. But the best DIY kitten adventure centre has come in the form of one of those tubes you get bottles of whiskey in. Highland Park, one of the finest, and from Orkney, comes in a squatter, fatter tube... purrrfect for kittens!
