These flip flops on the back are just too cute! She also sent a starfish mug rug, a flip flop with nail stuff inside, and two hand made neck coolers! Those will be handy over the next few 100 degree days!

Thanks Sue - you are a wonderful partner. I hope they deliver your squishy soon.

Gonna be hard for me to come close to that awesomeness.

I am going to have to make 2 posts in order to show all the pictures
of the great quilt and other goodies I received.

I love the quilt too!
My husband has bird feeders to amuse the cat! Don't be alarmed, the cat is de-clawed, it was my intention for her to be in-door only, she is also is definitely not a hunter. She watches and tries very hard but has not captured a bird in two years, or ever for that matter.

i've had 2 cocker spaniels who would jump up and catch swooping birds. the 2 i have now do not, and i'm glad. but one does catch rabbits. a sad but sweet story-- when our old cat, mel was very old and lived upstairs , his 'brother' simon once brought him a present of half a rabbit. simon left it next to mel's feed bowl. simon didn't try to eat it, it was very much meant for mel. i've never had another cat do that. mel lived to 21 and was getting close to 22 when he passed on.

When I opened the package my 3 y/o took the quilt away from me and said "oh, thank you , Mommy!" He then went on to tell me all about the picture and about his Sassycat and Jakecat (the two cats look just like our two cats!). He then brought it over to the couch, crawled under it and said he was going to sleep ...that lasted about 2 minutes

The quilt is just gorgeous, I love all of the details and all of the stitching! Thank you sooooo much! I think this will be going in my son's room

Well, I think it is obvious that darling quilt was made for your 3 year old. How could you resist his love for it? Hope you are able to snap a photo of him under the little quilt and post it.

Sounds like it spoke to his little precious heart!!!
