Tigga has given in...

Well, if at first you get pushed away ~ as a friendly little fellow you just have to keep trying and find a new approach.

See, if I hop up and have a snooze on the lounge with her, she will not get upset.

Then if you are really smart you wait until you hear the zzzzz and slink over even closer.

If you are really lucky you will get away with it...

Was lovely to see this today, Tigga even started to clean him a little which of course he loved.

Friends in the making

Well it has not taken long we are almost friends... and you know what - Miss Tigga doesn't have any say in the matter...

Any tips on photographing a Little active Blue Burmese boy full of the energy of life?

Four, five and six

I finished these a couple of weeks ago but not gotten around to taking the pics.

So here you go.

I think the one above is my favourite so far

Bye bye Angie my little love bug...

Whilst it is extremely sad today and will be for sometime, I give thanks that I had her for so long. What joy they bring to your world ~ Miss Angie ~ even you have run out of purrs and head butts your love lives on in us all.

The first picture I have October ~ 2002 she came to my home as a nine month old from a breeder who had her in a run with the others ~ she just wanted a home which is what she deserved, she gave un-abounding amounts of affection which I will miss.

Goings on...

Been very busy over the past couple of months, mostly was nothing that I was not expecting with a conclusion of a major project at work.

However the past week has had some goings on or not goings on which are a little less pleasing. My poor little Angie is not doing well again and is costing a small ransom in vets fees. But when you see them suffering you have to do something, to a degree so long as we are not causing harm or prolonging suffering the cost is secondary.

Here she is recovering from her 'procedure' last week. I promise you that you do not want to know more. Things are not moving the right direction at the moment even tho she is not losing too much weight (I am having to fee her with a syringe ~ most trying I can attest to).

Tomorrow off for some x-rays and some more tests so fingers crossed.

Now we just need her start eating and pooping on her own and we will be OK again for now at least.

In other news, not a tremendous amount of sewing I am keeping up with block of the month and have finished 4, 5 and 6 just need to take some photos and post them soon. Might even see if I can get some secret stuff done for Christmas.

October - Block Two and Three

Have had a bit of a sewing blockage and not really been doing very much ~ don't ask about the apron as I am sure someone will remind me soon enough. I have no idea where the year is running to at the moment either... but

Anyway I did enjoy the BOM this month even if JK is evil with the one on the right!!! Circles in Circles of a circle with squares!

Leigh and I have been going to a few Orchid shows of late and picked up a couple of these, some in flower others with 'promise' of maybe flowering if we neglect them the right way next year.

I have had the one below for about 10 years now it has been potted once. Sometimes watered, weeded when the onion grass is annoying ~ so here is the result - every year without fail so far it is covered in white flowers. Will post as soon as they come out which will not be that long.

Sunday was a lovely day in Melbourne! one not to be waisted and we didn't! We took a run up to Taggerty to see some friends and had a lovely picnic on the way home on the Black Spur.
