Not much happening

Pottery Barn had BOGO on faux greenery and stems.  I love the green shade of sweet potato vines as in these berry clusters.

Finally worked out a mask for claustrophobics (and heavy beards) in the family.  Rather than follow the fitting curve beneath the chin, cut straight down.  Still close, but not feeling smothered.  Yes I know the print direction is different but that gave me more masks to the bandana.


And something I do not need.  I can't believe how big I am.  It's not all from the last two months because I was making an attempt to lose before that.  I have never been this heavy.


I believe Petey has a condition after online research and a call to our vet.  His paws will swell terribly overnight causing him to limp for a few days, and then we notice blood between the pads and some hair loss.  He had one paw after another until all were affected within a short time.  This just started recently along with weight loss.  Paws are fine now and if what the vet suspects is true, he would need daily antibiotics for a long period.  How would that be possible?  We're trying a new box for him that I can easily access with the trap.  That's the way we caught the other three.  When they were asleep in the box, we put a piece of plywood over the opening and lined up the trap.  As soon as the plywood lifted they bolted from the box directly into the trap.  Not pleasant at all for them but necessary.  Even after trapping and a vet visit, I doubt I will be able to hold him and shove meds in his mouth.


That's it for me.  I still can't see anything clearly no matter what drops I try, hoping this will settle down soon.  I did another search on Ebay and found the other Fragments chart I wanted.  Anxious to get them.  I was playing with the linen for the new project and changed the Lambswool to Winter Brew.  The lighter floss will show better.  That doesn't count as indecisiveness!  Just better judgement.

Have a safe day folks!

Thanks for visiting.

Would you be able to crush the antibiotics and blend into wet cat food? Or if a liquid, blend into wet cat food?

If it's a liquid, you can dribble it on a front paw and he'll lick it off.

Poor Petey-do hope that he can get a injection with antibiotica and he will be fine soon.
Hope your will also getting better very soon.
Stay save and love your mask.

So sad for Petey and God bless you ! I hope the Vet can give him something easy for you to administer.
Masks look great. Very clever for those with beards.
I hate to say it, but my new jeans, at least one pair, was too tight to wear comfortably yesterday. Too much ice cream and muffins.
Did get some exercise yesterday, digging weeds with my antique hoe fork. Have more to do, then I want to get some mulch.
I hear that parts of Pa. may get some snow......UGH ! Don't know what's wrong with the weather. Maybe it has a virus too ?
Praying that your eyes will clear so you can enjoy stitching.
Take care, stay well !
Having the MOHS surgery tomorrow. Will be glad when that's over.

Good job on the masks, who cares about the design and direction. Pottery Barn would have to have BOGO for me to even think about purchasing, pretty but$$$. I know when one of my cats had "something" he was given an injection that lasted a week, so no need to give meds. I was glad, you should ask the vet about it. Poor Petey. Stay well.

Hmmmm....very good thing I didn't know about that particular sale. I have enough "issues" with PB to begin with.... In fact, my latest "why did I give in to that temptation" box was on my porch this morning. Poor Petey...and I know what you're saying about the antibiotics.... Heck, I have a dickens of a time giving it to Snowdog or either of my housebound cats. I wince...no, I wail loudly...whenever the vet says the "a" word. Hope you can come up with a less painful (for you) alternative. Oooo....that pie looks heavenly and I am not even a huge pie fan. What kind? Did you make the crust from scratch? It looks like a fair entry!! ~Robin~
