Almost Summer

I can’t believe summer is almost upon me! There are so many things and changes going on it is hard to keep track of them all.

News on the kitten front…they are nine weeks old already. We have re-homed three of them; I cried each time we gave one away. Thank goodness I don’t have children I can’t even fathom how I’d react when it came time for them to go off to college. Anyhow, we figured the other three, two male and one female, can live as outdoor cats at our house. I use the term"outdoor" fairly lightly as they know where the door is, the noise it makes when it opens, and how fast they need to move to make it inside. It probably sounds silly but everyday I’m amazed at how quickly they’ve grown and what they’re doing/getting into. One thing for sure is that they make me smile.

And speaking of smiling, I dyed the most gorgeous colorway two weeks ago; I call it Malice In Bloom and looking at it just makes me giddy. The colors spoke to me so much so that it piqued my other creative juices. I swear creativity goes dormant if you don’t exercise it; it’s just like anything else. I think after losing three family members in a relatively short period of time last fall and winter I just became numb. I feel like I’m starting to crawl out of that funk and I am excited to do things all over again. 

I'll be adding a couple of skeins of Malice in Bloom to my Etsy shop in the next few days but in the meantime, I'm off to see how it knits up. I'll keep you posted.
