The prize package includes:

Day 122

I worked from home today. Charlie supervised, from the back of my chair.

Day 112

Charlie doesn't think there are monsters under the bed. He thinks there are zombie killer bunnies about to attack, and it's my job to go outside and check, because he is driving me crazy with the scared meowing.

Day 112

Yes, Charlie is a cat.

Day 95

Day 95

This wasn't a planned shot. Charlie wanted attention while I was experimenting with my camera. I picked him up and got one fantastic shot of my handsome beastie.

Day 92

Day 92

I have a new camera and tripod that have yet to see the Northern Lights. I'm trying to patiently wait for the magic combination of solar flares and clear skies. I'm also amused by the kitty photobomb.

Cat photography

Would there be any interest in me talking about photographing cats? Any questions you'd like answered?

In the meantime, I give you this:

The guilt

When I was packing to go to Red Deer a couple of weeks ago, Hermione knew what to do. Sit in the suitcase and give me That Look, so that I wouldn't fill up the suitcase and leave.

It didn't work. :-)

Hermione on a quilt

Hermione on a quilt by Angela Boyko

My grandmother began making quilts when her grandchildren started getting married. She made a quilt for each if time permitted - sometimes she bought a quilt if there wasn't enough time.

When it came down to three grandchilden and one great-granddaughter, all of marrying age and single, she decided to make quilts for us anyways. As she put it, she wasn't going to be around forever, and she wanted each of us to have a quilt. So this is how I came to have this quilt. Gram made a pink one and a yellow one, and my cousin Julie (the great-grand-daughter) was engaged so she got first choice.

With time and maturity, I've gotten over not having first choice. Because after she made the quilts, Gram had a stroke, and her quilting time was over. When she passed away in 2006, I slept with this quilt for a while, to have her energy with me. Then I put it away, because I had two cats with sensitive stomachs.

This Saturday, I was at a stitching meetup and met a woman who quilts. She told me that she doesn't make quilts for baby gifts anymore, because nobody uses them. They only display them.

I'd been thinking of changing my bedding for spring. So I went home and brought out this quilt. My current cats all have good stomachs (except for the occiasional hairball). And they have all investigated this quilt and found it worthy.

This picture is available on 500px and my SmugMug store.
