Bosco, Fabric Inspector

I finally finished another project (yay!!), but I am not going to share it until I get the saga out of the way. What should have been a simple Sunday afternoon project (a basic skirt) turned into a two day event. And why is that? BOSCO. And to a lesser extent, GRACIE. As seen here, Bosco is addicted to fabric laid out on the floor (Seriously. He's even in the snaps of the Stars and Blocks Blanket for the niece). It's almost like giving him catnip or something. Check out the spaced out stare in the first picture. Unfortunately, I don't have a huge table to lay out my fabric when I mark and cut it. I have to use the floor. So, in addition to some carpet fuzz, I now have an angora cotton skirt. Thank you, Bosco, for rolling around like a weirdo on my fabric. Oh, I'm sorry. I meant, thank you, Bosco, for so carefully inspecting my work.

Another snag in the afternoon skirt making: I wound my bobbin and almost ran out of black thread. Of course it was a quarter to six, so Hancock was closed. I had to go the dreaded place, Wal-Mart, to pick up some more. And upping the drama some more: this town has two Wal-Marts and only one has a sewing department. Fortunately, I chose the correct one on the first try.

The skirt has been made (as stated above). I will get some snaps up ASAP, but I wanted to share the crafting process with my readers. (And yes, by "crafting process" I meant "cat-herding". Thanks to Herr Snicklefritz for his assistance.)

Wiedersehen!

Picture #1: Bosco...what the heck are you looking at? Snap out of it, you crazy kitty!

Picture #3: Is that a blender on the floor in the bottom left of the picture? What is a blender doing on the floor when there are small animals on the loose in your apartment?

Oh, wait, that's not a blender...that's part of the plan. *maniacal finger-tapping here*

Speaking of "cat herding," remember that Super Bowl commercial with the cat round-up? That's still one of my all-time favorites.

The blender is there on the floor because we moved the paper-making operation from the kitchen to the front bedroom/front bathroom. We unplug it when it's not in use.

...At least that's what we tell PETA.

Mike and I have decided that the top picture of Bosco has potential for "I Can Has Cheezburger."
