The tedious part of this project.... done! Alphabets may be boring but SO much easier to stitch for me.
Now that the tree is completed, I will choose another project to start.
We finished one part of the ramp project today, and I can't tell you how totally frustrated I am with the mess. I mean mess. Outside inside upside downside. But my mouth is shut. She has a large private room in what was once her house, now owned by her son. The last two visits there, my sister is not looking well. Her color and look have changed a lot. Yes, she is not happy with the situation but knows it is not permanent. After watching her deal with excruciating pain, the near death cardiogenic shock, the loss of both legs, I know her well enough to recognize trouble with psyche and stress. Her recent labs were fine, but needs checked again because she has no color at all.
This is one of the young cats, staying mostly in Carole's room. The lighter areas on this very skinny female are where the hair is starting to grow back. She and another in the group were continually harassed, kept from food. Very timid, she came to me and rubbed my side. Did stress cause the hair loss? She is kept from the others to recover and needs to gain weight, the rest are in the basement. Hopefully a foster will call soon, she will be first to leave and heal. Appointments for altering are not available until September, and new patients are several weeks out. But she is so much better than when she was rescued.

Last full week of July and I am in full-on crab mode.

I feel so bad for the kitties. My sister found a kitten under a car the other day while walking her dog. She called her animal control and they flat out told her they do not pick up kittens. What a crock. She found a home for it because her husband is allergic to cats. I have always loved the patterns with willow trees and this pattern is saved in my wish list. Like you I think it will be a pain to stitch but beautiful once completed. Janice
Beautiful little willow...one of my favorite trees. Awww...little kitteh. While she looks a bit woeful, I'm glad to hear and see she is healing and away from the fray. Still praying for fosters/homes and everything else in between. And extra prayers for Carole's situation. Yikes. ~Robin~
Poor little kitty--she looks so sweet. Perhaps it is good for Carole that this little one is coming into her room. I am so sorry for Carole she is in stress and not feeling well at the moment....can feel your frustration about the situation.
Your willow tree is looking good and as always I am so surprised by the time you finished the tree. I am stitching small chart, but it is not half finished yet.
Take care and a big hug to you,Truus from Holland
That is worrisome about Carole. I bet the basement full of cats isn't helping much either. And it all comes back to worry you too. At least you have us to vent to.
IMHO, all the tree needs is an animal under it and call it done. A small (tiny?) finish.
