Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude.  ~E.P. Powell

I hope you all have a wonderful day with your family and friends. I am very thankful for all the new friends I’ve made through this blog. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Nathan brought home some new cat beds the other night. He’s such a sweetie! I couldn’t wait to see how the cats would like them, so I just put them on the floor. Charlie was the first to check them out and she decided to take the larger bed. Of course, Kennedy couldn’t be left out, so she got in the smaller one.

They both look pretty funny in the “wrong” beds, but they got quite comfortable. I love how Kennedy has her paw up by her face.

Charlie appears to be sinking into the bed. They both stayed in the beds most of the night. In the morning we switched Kennedy’s old bed with the new large bed and put the smaller new bed on the chair that Charlie’s been sleeping on. Hopefully that will stop Kennedy from stealing Charlies’ bed and leaving Charlie with nothing!

Since Halloween is on Saturday, I thought some of you might be interest in some cool Cat Pumpkin Stencils!

They also have a great gallery of Cat Pumpkin carvings; click here to get inspired!

Happy Whiskers on Wednesday

A while back, moderncat had a post with some adorable little sculptured kitties from Endless Whimsy. Well, of course I had to check out her Etsy shop, and I may have purchased a few sculptures.

Initially, I was just going to buy this one, because I LOVE the sparkle!

Then I saw there was a special sculpture to help Daisy raise money for the Homeless Animal Rescue Team. This fundraiser donated $4 and a can of food for each pink sculpture sold,  so I had to help out.

I also couldn’t pass up these adorable black kitties!

What I really love is that Endless Whimsy is a member of Etsy for Animals and she donates 10% of all her sales to the Homeless Animal Rescue Team. There are a lot of cute sculptures in her shop right now, so check them out! She also takes custom orders and does dog sculptures, too

Happy Whiskers on Wednesday!

Charlie & Kennedy decided to join me while I was knitting last night.

As you can see, they get very comfortable, which means it’s not always very easy for me to knit!

Quite comfy!

I’m about 1 & 1/2 repeats through the Sunday Swing Socks. I’ll have to get better pictures when I’m not trapped under sleeping cats! Happy Whiskers on Wednesday! Enjoy the rest of your week

Sorry for the poor image quality. I took the pics with my iPhone, and of course, I didn’t want to disturb the kitties too much

The Piddleloop Sewing Team is having a fundraising update today in less than an hour!! I’m sorry for the short notice, but I thought you might like to check out their great bags and help raise funds for Guardian Angel basset Rescue.

Check out their shop at 11:00 am Central Time for this special update!

We have entered our basset hound, Lucy Dog, in her very first waddle! What is a waddle you ask? The rescue we got Lucy from (Guardian Angel Basset Rescue) hosts an annual waddle every September. Bassets come from the tri-state area to waddle 10 blocks down the street!! Last year they had over 800 bassets! This update will be a fund raising event for Lucy Dog’s Waddle. For each bag sold that is marked “Bags for the Waddle” 100% of the proceeds will be donated to GABR and will be used to sponsor Lucy Dog.

If you’re interested, you can also donate money through their firstgiving page. I know I’ll be making a donation! And I can’t wait to see more pictures of Lucy and the Waddle!
