    My troublemaker

    I was in my sewing room after putting quilt blocks down on the floor in the living room when I heard my husband say "Mommy is going to be mad at you" This is what I found: And this is the look I got when I scolded him! When will I remember that no quilts can be made without Pooh's permission!?

    Summer-izing for ferals

    Hello, I have seen a lot of tips for making shelters for ferals in the snowy winters, but I live in Phx, AZ and I am wondering if there is anything I can do to make 110-120 degree summers more bearable for my colony. There is shade - is there anything else I can do? Denise

    Cat toy

    I volunteer for a no kill shelter and wow, the price of cat toys is crazy. I happened upon this pattern for a crochet "mouse". Pooh loved it, so now I am trying to make at least one each night before I go to bed (I don't crochet very quickly) What do you think? Would your cat be fooled?

    Hello, I found 4 kittens (no mom) at work on Monday and I am fostering them until the no-kill shelter I volunteer with can make room for them. They each hiss once in awhile. I understand that they are probably still a bit afraid. But one hisses a lot and even does that spitting thing. Is...
