Shhhh... don't tell the cat!

I'm busy sewing up a couple of aprons for an order today...  No time for treasuries now, so I'll have to make up for that later in the week.  While I'm chained to the sewing machine, Phoebe is doing her best to keep herself busy and out of mischief...  Unfortunately, Lola Cat is also doing her best-- to foil her plans!!!  Poor Phoebe...  No sunbath for her today.

Never let the cat know where your favorite napping place is....

Cats. They just don't listen....

My special non-sewing project for last week was making myself a HUGE light box to try to improve my photography.  So far, it works better in theory than in actual fact-- but I'm not giving up yet.  However, one strict rule I have for the light box is "NO CATS ALLOWED."

Glamour shots for cats.  I may be onto something here...

Lola is a Maine Coon (probably-- we rescued her from a shelter, so we'll never know her heritage for sure) and she has a LOT of fur.  I do my best to keep her OUT of my sewing room, to keep it as fur-free as possible.  She cooperates most of the time, especially since that's where the dog hangs out all day with me...  



I even close the room off when I'm not working so that she'll stay out.  Despite my precautions, this morning as I was working at the computer, I realized 2 things:

1. Cats rarely follow even the strictest of rules.  Oh, they'll humor you for a while, but the minute your back's turned-- watch out!  
2. 6:45 is too early to have a camera flash go off in your face.  Cats don't appreciate it.

Aarrrrrrrggggg!  Now I need to go find the lint brush...
