I am making progress on my scrappy sampler top, based on the 2014 Country Threads mystery sampler. I adore all these fun and scrappy blocks, made with treasured fabrics. It is supposed to be done, but I am making it bigger!!! More blocks equal more fun and more to love, right??
This little morsel above....well, I just got out of the car from work, and heard a SCREAMIMG!!! Somewhere in the neighborhood. I went running, total panic mode, trying to find what child was screaming, because I thought it was a little human child. Instead, I found this tiny kitten. Maybe 3 weeks old, I am guessing? It was backed up in the corner by the drainpipe, in my neighbor's driveway, and a hawk was after it. Hense the screaming!!! I scared away the hawk (what hawk would not be afraid of a wild banshee hollering and running at it?) The kitty escaped with no talons through the abdomen, which would have been a death sentence due to peritonitis, but his eye was pecked narrowly escaping actually hitting the eye, and also his left front leg is completely flaccid. I scooped him and up ran him back to the house, him meowing as hard as he could!
Took him to the vet...the eye will be totally fine. The leg...maybe not. It is severely injured from the shoulder, so the vet put him on steroids for pain and for swelling, and the baby is now in our home and? in our hearts. We shall see if the baby can heal with that leg...the hawk obviously had it by the leg. He eats like a trucker and meows for anything he wants, and just wants love and to purr with the loudest little voice, sleeping under my hair on my chest. No, my chest is not hairy, but I have kind of long hair and that is just the best nest for this baby, according to him. So that is my drama for the week!!
Remember this leader and ender from Bonnie Hunter about a decade ago? I am finishing it!!! I recently received gorgeous scraps....my totally favorite thing, and some of the scraps will be used to make more bowties!!!
Hurrah!!!
Any drama for you this week?? Hope everyone is doing fantastic!!
