"Ampurrs"

If this is how shutter crazy we are about a new kitten, I shudder to think what an exploited child I'll have.
He's a terrible cuddle bug with both of us, preferring to climb up on your shoulders when he's not knackered.




I'm trying to impart my craftiness on the little one at a young age. Knitting around him has been difficult.

Big catbrother, Pierce, has been hot and cold. This was a rare moment of shared grooming, because it's hard to catch this kitten.

When 90% of the pictures we try to take end up like this.

Fifty Projects* in 365 Days (Final Count: 27)**

*Let's be honest here, it's an adorable idea that I would be able to jot down fifty projects that I would be as interested in making today as I would over the next year. Realistically I'll lose interest after I start one project and move down the list as I see fit. Or jump to an idea not listed below. Also I'm not interested in fluffing up the list after I get however many written down just so I can have fifty.
Instead we'll play one of my favorite games; 'Make a List! Then Change it Periodically to Make it Look Like you Accomplished Things!' It's one you can't lose and everyone is a winner. First round with start with categories then subcategories then sub-wishful thinkings.

**Crafter is exempt from doing anything she loses interest in and may create something totally different as a result. Side effects are fairly immediate, crippling boredom is expected sometime during the middle of the project but will end with incredible satisfaction.
