One Year with Puss n Boots!

Well this weekend marks the 1 year anniversary of when we adopted Puss n Boots! They have grown up heaps since then, and given us so much fun and love. In turn they are very spoiled little muppets - with handmade quilted blankets, millions of toys, and given lots of our time and affection :-)

This weekend was a lovely sunny one, so I spent some time outside in the garden weeding and planting some more seedlings. Our first crop of about 20 passionfruit has now finished, but already there are heaps more new flowers on the vine - many more than last year. On the craft front I finished off the little purple knitted booties which will be a present for a friend whose first baby is expected to arrive in less than 2 weeks. I haven't actually made any headway on the hand-stitching of the binding of the quilt for Puss n Boots (not that that has stopped them sleeping on it whenever they come into my craft room...). Will hopefully find the motivation to finish it shortly, but this weekend I seem to be more in a knitting mood than sewing. 

Quilt progress

Well I'm pretty happy with the progress I've made on the quilt for Puss n Boots since the last post. I've almost finished in fact - just have to hand-stitch the edge of the binding around the quilt. Hand-stitching always takes me quite a while, so I think I will be working on it slowly for the next week or two in the evenings until it is finished. Once I've finished I will take some photos of the completed quilt out in the sunshine, but for the moment here's a few photos of the quilt making in progress - with "help" of course from Puss n Boots.
