~ Cats & Jacks ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk!

and a hearty-happy Thursday to you all…

it's gotten a tad warmer again ~

 but that won't stop me 

from wishing for my beloved Autumn to arrive.

Lately I've been enjoying taking candid snaps of Iggy {Mr. Ignacious Catt}

in his natural surroundings ~ 

which have been known to include baskets, boxes & bags…

windowsills and wool piles.

here are some that I thought came out well;

a little crow-watching

we see you.

sleepy-eyed

and here is another little hooking-in-progress that I started last evening ~

a Jack, of course!

Tis the Season, you know

;)

This Jack is the exact motif from my new 'Jack's Folly' wool appliqué 

that I wanted to use for hooking ~

you can use it for hooking too, if you'd like.

almost finished, on to the background next...

but before I even begin a new hooking project,

Iggy must inspect each little snippet & worm of wool,

so color-planning my projects takes a little longer…

"hmmm….maybe not that green, mom…"

"That one! yes, that one…."

"and perhaps a few of these orange worms too ~"

"MOM! are you listening to me??? and why are you laughing?"

… oh well, 

at least he has a good eye for color!

Hoping you all have a color-full day my sweet friends :)
