Cookies & Lemonade Livestream! Sunday at 6:00 PM + Meeting a new Family Member!!
Added 2024-06-21 15:32:42 +0000 UTCHello!
Wow! Do we have a lot to catch up on!
Last Thursday a wounded little kitty showed up on the front porch! I quickly got him to the vet for X Rays and tests and he's going to 100% recover. I've spent the last week trying to make sure he wasn't anyones missing pet, to no avail (He wasn't fixed or chipped and was in pretty rough shape).
So after bonding with him all this last week, he has said goodbye to his balls and hello to a forever home with us! His name is now Barnabus!
The roof restoration is also fully underway!! and I've been recreating lost accents to the exterior using a band saw! Those episodes will be coming later this summer.
So this Sunday let's gather in the library for a summer snack of cookies and lemonade to chat about everything going on, as well as meet our very friendly new family member!

Aww poor little mite! But if a wounded, scared, stray kitty was to try to make their way to a safe, caring environment, they couldn't make a better choice <3 I'm way behind on watching the home reno videos so I'm very excited to check out the roof videos after seeing these pictures! :)

2024-07-23 14:54:51 +0000 UTCIf you ever go to the Bay area you HAVE to visit Lacis museum of Lace and Textiles in Berkeley. They are a non-profit museum and shop with a selection of vintage and antique clothing, fabrics, linens, etc. Their selection of embroidery, lacemaking, tassel making and sewing-++ equipment is amazing, interspersed with antique trimmings, buttons, tassels, laces, millinery ++. And they have old and new books on all kinds of traditional techniques. Such an inspiring place and very special ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Christine McConnell
2024-06-21 17:47:58 +0000 UTCWhen I was in my teens and 20's (thank goodness no longer) I was against spaying and neutering. I saw it as a form of torture. My view dramatically changed when I discovered our beautiful furkids could suffer the same as us when a friends dog was diagnosed with prostate cancer, Never in a million years in my young mind did I think this could happen but sadly it did. Now many years later I see the benefits and healthy lives they lead without dealing with nads. Good on you for taking good care of him.
