Quilt top for charity auction is cut out & Finn & Cora helped with layout. It’s amazing how small of a stack the fabric for a quilt is #cats #catsofbluesky #quilting

This handsome man turned 5 on Saturday! Then, on Sunday, he weighed in *below* his goal weight, going from 16.25 to 13.1 lbs! Have to boost him up ~.5 lbs, but he’s doing so well now. #cats #catsofbluesky

Pink half square triangle pinwheel quilt block.
When you’ve already cut out 2040 (no joke, I counted) HSTs for a quilt, only to decide to cut 96 more “because the border will look so nice with extension pinwheels!” (Those points are *crisp* tho!) #cats #catsofbluesky #quilting

Rainbow star quilt top.
Quilt top is nearly finished (pattern is Ombre Stargazer). Fabric ordered for backing/border/binding, have to check out my batting situation. Only 5.5 months left to finish before the wedding! #quilting
Fluffy black cat lying on his back, showing off his furry tum. There is a small green tattoo peeking through the fur (to indicate that he is neutered).
Finn says, “Look at my tattoo!” #cats #catsofbluesky

“Why you in box, sissy???” “Go away, stinky boy.” #cats #catsofbluesky
Torbie cat in cardboard box.
I stuck a box in the hallway to collect items to donate. Cora is using it to play Ambush Hunter with my pant legs as I walk by.

*evil cackles* Looks like the Feds have finally come for the embezzler that my job caught over 2 yrs ago. State trial still pending, but fed felony charges were just filed. I haven’t peeked into Pacer yet, but educated guess is wire fraud—over $1mil over the course of multiple years. #suckstobeyou

Desiree is helping me press quilt pieces. Good thing the recipient isn’t allergic—there will be fur throughout! #cats #catsofbluesky #sewing #quilting
Hey now, we just had 25 people detained from a roofing company, there’s a (slight) alternative to the furnace. Just 12-hour days in the blistering sun, elevated, while doing backbreaking labor installing roofs! No need to visit the tanning bed anymore, though skin cancer is a future risk.

Just adopted this lovely lady this morning. She’s settling in well in her new home. Meet Willa! (Name subject to change, when she tells me who she is.)
Welcome home, Willa!!! #cats #catsofbluesky #rescue
Think good thoughts for tomorrow—it’s meet & greet day! #cats
We’re setting up a meet & greet for Saturday!
I applied to adopt a visually-impaired kitty today… #cats #catsofbluesky
She’s so big now! I remember you showing her off on The Bad Place when she was teeny. ❤️
💔Emily Pike a 14-year-old girl from the San Carlos Apache Tribe in AZ. Missing for weeks. Murdered & dismembered. Major news networks are barely covering her case. This pattern is painfully familiar to Native families fighting for justice in the MMIP crisis.The least we can do is share her story.
