So I have officially become the crazy cat lady (aka CKL). I went to Target and got my beautiful boy his very own chair! Since he has to be in the spare bedroom when I'm not home and at night, I figures he would like his own chair since when I am home he's snuggling with me on the couch.</div>

Please consider adopting a blind, handicapped or older furry friend. They will offer you more than you realize!</div>

My beautiful boy! Radar is such a love and is just happy to snuggle as much as he can get away with!</div>

This is Radar. He is the reason I raise money for animal rescue. He is 6 years old and only weighs a little over 4lbs. He is blind. When Buffalo Paws and Claws rescued him, he had a horrible eye infection, sores from being attacked by another animal. His nails were ingrown into his pads. He was so weak he would mess himself because he did not have the strength to get up. He had to have one eye amputated, it was such a mess!<br />
Look at him now! With the love and care that Dawn and Chris at Buffalo Paws and Claws gave Radar he is a total lovebug who is gaining weight and loves catnip and cuddling! I have been given the priviledge of fostering him while he gets some dental work done and perhaps find a great home for him! But he won't be going anywhere if that doesn't happen- no worries!<br />
He has been with me exactly a week and what a joy he is!<br />
<br />
When you are going through a rough time, remember this-<br />
<br />
Hope is bright shining light which keeps darkness at bay,<br />
Hope is gentle cold breezes on a hot summer day.<br />
Hope is to remain positive when the going gets tough,<br />
Hope is seeking more when others think you've had enough.<br />
Hope is dreaming of tomorrow,<br />
Hope is singing under sorrow.<br />
Hope is sparkles when tears are in our eyes,<br />
Hope is a beautiful thing and a beautiful thing never dies.<br />
Hope is light as a feather,<br />
Hope keeps us all together.<br />
Hope is ubiquitous and free of cost<br />
Hope is the last thing ever lost.<br />

Last weekend my knitting friends came over and we continued working on our "Crayon Box" sweaters. I now have one sleeve done. Almost everyone else has both sleeves and part of the body done! I made Mexican snacks in honor of Cinco de Mayo even thought we were a week behind! Ortega has a great black bean soup mix now- serve it with a dollop of sour cream and a little cheddar- mmmmmmm!</div>

The carry bags for Whiskerfest are making progress- this will be my afternoon project today after my first foster baby comes at noon. I am going to foster a little kitty named Radar- will post pictures when I have some. He has had a rough life and once again Buffalo Paws and Claws rescued him and he is now doing great!</div>

This past weekend I cranked! I cut out 4 pairs of pants, 42 tote bags for Whiskerfest, a small wall quilt for my mother (mailed and will get there on time!) and pieces for the quilt I want to make for myself. I felt fantastic! I have started sewing the handles for the bags and am hoping this week will be productive since there are several more hours of daylight and it makes me want to do stuff!</div>

She encouraged me from the start to do this and I have enjoyed it greatly. It's always fun when I get comments from my friends but also when I hear from a new voice out in the cosmos!<br />
<br />
The rules for the Versatile Blogger Award are:<br />
1-Add the award to your blog<br />
2-Thank the blogger who gave it to you<br />
3-Mention seven random things about yourself<br />
4-List the rules<br />
5-Award to 15 bloggers<br />
6-Inform each of those 15 by leaving a comment on their blog<br />
<br />
OK, seven random things about myself. Hmmmmmm......<br />
1-I have a degree in Animal Health Technology but since I didn't want to live with my parents for the rest of my life (the pay sucks) I went back to school for Graphic Design<br />
2- I have a tattoo- no I did not get it in my 20's, nor was I intoxicated!<br />
3-I am a homebody. I do go places but I'd much rather be in my "nest"<br />
4-I'm a horrible domestic diva. With 3 furry ones and so much fabric and yarn, I'm always fuzzy anyway<br />
5-I love the old TV series The X-files and am currently on the last season. I intend to start all over again and listen to the "comments" the second time<br />
6-I can swing a hammer, install insulation, paint ceilings- I used to have a 100 year old house that needed lots of work but didn't have the budget to hire out much. So I learned from my dad who is a master carpenter.<br />
7-I would go to the movies every night if I could.<br />
<br />
My bloggers will be informed shortly. I need to get a list together!<br />

Four days of sewing, fun and food. Who could say no? So I dropped everything, packed my projects and went. I got so much done! This top picture is of the HUGE hotel down there, it sort of felt a little like "The Shining" at this time of year.

I used to look at winter as, well, I hated it! But now I try to look at it as an opportunity. Things slow down- at least after the holidays- and I hybernate and work on projects!<br />

Forgot my camera so will just say:<br />
Deep dish pizza is delish and one slice is a meal!<br />
Driving in the rain for hours just, well...sucks.<br />
Bob Chinns Crab House is fabulous and had THE best waitress ever!<br />
The people I met were warm and friendly…<br />
Lots of chuckles with great friend.<br />
<br />

I am going to Chicago this weekend with some friends. I am planning on taking pictures so I have something other than my beautiful kitties to put on here! I mean- I never get sick of kitty pictures but sometimes ya just gotta mix it up a little!<br />

One of the places I went was at the Erie County Fairgrounds. They had a PetExpo- lots of beautiful puppies, kitties, cats and dogs for adoption! Fun stuff for your pets too! Jack can attest to that- he got a peanut butter bone! Future project- I'm going to try to come up with a pet bed for the cages so kitties can feel more comfortable but you can still see them.<br />

They turned out SSSSSooOOO cute! They were in her quilt shop - The Quilter's Daughter in Perry Center , NY for a while and now they are going to another shop in East Aurora- Carriage Quilt Shoppe.<br />
I an honored to know such generous and caring people who support my fundraising efforts- I could not do it with out them!<br />
