Cushions are done.

All finished - I just need to sew the quilt label on the back of the quilt. The cushions are for the comfort and exclusive use of the kitty boys.

Finished The Bedskirts

 The Boys are still not sure what to make of the new quilt. Puddy Tat really likes to attack the back side of the quilt which is an English garden.

I actually finished the two bed skirts on October 30th - I did one in dark green to go with my floral garden quilt and then in one in dark blue to go with the shop hop quilt.

Return from the Absent

I haven't posted in 6 weeks! Longest that I have gone. I haven't been doing anything except work, read and go to bed early. We are doing a software conversion at work and running two software systems for the month of October - double entry of everything.

I hadn't seen my grandsons for awhile but I did watch them last weekend.
 I built a large fort for the boys in the living room.

 Dylan made signs - this one said "No Girls Allowed - Boys Only"

This one was next to the bathroom door.
