Better not let any black cats cross your path today! 🙂
We’ve had a tiny amount of snow blowing around for the last day or two and the temps have been dropping to 26F at nights – big change from Saturday, when I wore a tank top, capris, and birks on the yarn crawl! The colder weather inspired me to pull out my Celestial Sheep flannel sheets last night. (Aside about these sheets – when I bought these last winter, I was pleased as could be. Cute sheep! On sheets! With stars and moons! *squeal* But, um, when I made my bed the first time, I had a realization. A realization that these were the sheets of a woman with no plans to entertain a guy anytime soon. Damn. I’ve become a crazy ol’ cat lady.)
Anyway, it isn’t easy to make the bed when you have two cats.
“I think there’s something under this sheet! Whatever could it be?! Maybe it’s a little sheep. Yum.”
“It’s kind of wiggly, whatever it is.”
“Not a little sheep! Eeeeep!”
I puttered around and did a bit of shopping today. I’ll leave you with two photos foreshadowing some of next week’s blog content. (This first one is so worth clicking to see larger!)
“My tail in this picture does not mean that I condone this content.”
“Hmm, why do I have such a sense of foreboding?!”
I can’t imagine why Chaos is running from the bibs erm yarn.
My kitties love to help make the bed too! Have a good weekend!
Weeeellll…it’s kinda hard for either of us to avoid black cats crossing our path today, isn’t it? Personally, I think they’re good luck.
I love the sheets, but they’re probably flannel, eh? I’d make my husband sleep on them though.
Jeez! Bibs all around!
The same bed-making sequence goes on in my house, though Little A tends to play the part of one cat! 🙂
That bed-making sequence looks all to familiar.
I had bloglines issues yesterday too. WTF??
Oh, no! Chaos is being stalked by cotton yarn! The sheets are so cute – they set off the black fur nicely.
Enjoy the end of your vacation!
Chris- Have you ever checked out those greeting cards from the UK?
http://www.twistedyarns.co.uk
they’re a real hoot!
Pussies, be afraid, be very afraid!
Sorry Chris, the site isn’t there.
My husband hates it when I pull out the flannel sheets. Ah, heaven! I guess we should have discussed his aversion to flannel before we married. He wants me to cut 2 sets of sheets in half and sew one flannel side to one non-flannel side. Right. I’d rather knit!
now who told you that those fab sheep sheets were the kiss of doom?
love the bed making photos -and what a weird shot of coke-man & woman. hah!
Maybe May will be more receptive to a career in bib modeling?
hee hee that is a really cute series of pictures. chaos is doing better then?
The bibs are attacking Chaos! Run Chaos, run!
Imagine having 3 ferrets and a cat helping you make up the bed. 🙂 I don’t know, Rick would probably tolerate sheep sheets before flowered sheets. Course this is the man who would want baseball sheets on the bed if I would let him. 🙂
There are just no words for the Spinnerin cover.
Making the bed with ONE cat is always a challenge. Kudos to you for doing it successfully with TWO.
Mr. hates flannel sheets – says they are too hot; in fact he says the same thing about me — in a temperature way. Tig plays the same shhet game too. Must be a cat thing for sure. I started an entrelac scarf with some of my recent hand-dyed. Oh.so.lovely!
That cover…. Um. Uh. Weird.
Cotton! Nefarious plans!
And making the bed is alllllllways fun with multiple catchen! Lucky you!
Well, perhaps you’ve become the crazy cat lady, but…obviously NOT the perimenopausal crazy cat lady – or FLANNEL sheets would be OUT the (open) window! Is it hot in here, or is it me?
lolololol!
(((hugs)))
All I have to say about my latest projects is – it’s all your fault!
Old? Not yet! Crazy? Always helps!
Be afraid May, it’s your turn to model bibs!
OMG! So cute with the sheep bedding!
I’m digging the future bib yarn!
Crazy…possible, cat lady…nothing wrong with that…but don’t use the O word!
It IS going to be tricky for you to avoid black cats today, isn’t it??
Love the sheep sheets;-)
I can’t believe how cold it is for you already! Of course, we have the same weather coming next week…bleh.
Great kitty shots!
That is one of the perks of having two cats ;o) I love their expressions in that last photo!
Nice Spinnerin, what year is it? I do wonder what you’ll knit from it with all that previously-known-as-bib-yarn ;o)
Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the last few days of vacation!
Oh don’t you love that picture! I have that exact book somehwere in my library.
The kids in the bed is hilarious. Looks like they are getting along pretty well and enjoying each other’s company.
Very cute bed monsters.
Why are those people in the water??
I love the photo sequence of the two kitties in the bed. So cute.
I want those sheets! Too cute! And I’d like to meet the guy who would turn down bed activities because of the style of sheets.
I knew Chaos would be scarred by the bibs! I just knew it!
Yup definitely looks like bib time 🙂 Love the sheets.
Mmmmm… sugar and cream….
Thanks for the linky!
Those Spinnerin folks are looking over at the Colt45 table (anyone else remember that commercial with Billy Dee Williams?) to see if they are interested in swapping some malt liquor for a bit of Coke (pun inteneded).
Will there be a Mayhem fashion show next week?
Hey Chris – more modelling next week?! Yippee!
Yeah, I brought out the flannel PJ’s, add to that my pink slippers, socks and fleece – hey! Vision!
It snowed here for almost 24 hours. I know I’m in Canada, Nation of Ice and Snow, but the earliest I can remember it snowing is Hallowe’en when I was in high school and pissed that I had to stomp through the snow to get my candy.
Yes, I went trick-or-treating in high school. Shut up. I love Hallowe’en. And candy. Especially Tootsie Rolls and those caramel squares, but I can never get the bloody plastic wrap off of them and I always end up eating some plastic. Mmmm…plastic.
Uh, sorry. Carry on.
Sheep sheets, flowered sheets or baseball sheets are fine with me, as long as Syd is in them beside me.
I pretty much accept her as she is, whatever she wants, I just say ok, as she lets me keep all my magic crap around the house (and that drives her nuts).
Then again, Im a man, so Im bound to drive any woman nuts with my ‘stuff’.
That is too funny – I *almost* posted pictures today of Cocoa under the sheets. I don’t know how she does it – this time she was on the bed, ready to be covered, before I had even shaken out the fitted sheet. And she’ll stay under there for hours – she loves it.
It’s gotten a bit chilly here – I always know it’s getting cold when I wake up and she’s under the sheets/blankets/comforter with me!
I like the sheets!!
You are just trying to make my head explode with the cuteness, aren’t you??
Bibs! Nooooo!
Oh, how cute! Making cats in a bed. A sheepie bed at that.
You’re going to knit the coke guy
out of bib cotton!
Why do all kitties loving making the bed?
She’s growing bigger in every post!
May is filling out! Loved that question picture earlier this week. And that Spinnerin… these kooky ’60s designers/photographers!!
I know that problem but they did it all so cute. I have one happy Jack russell who as his name is Boss realy lives up to it
Ah, Spinnerin, where hast thou gone? Sheesh, after that cover, it’s no wonder they’re out of business.
Chaos, May, Run!!! Drop your butt and run!!! (Sorry, that’s a Sinbad (the comic) reference.)
Very cute sheets! Max loves to play hide and seek in the sheets as well.
What on earth is going on in that picture? Why would they be sitting in water like that? Weird!
Where did you get those sheets? I must have some.
And “make the bed”?? What’s that?
I love the sheep bedding. My sheets are so boring.
Your sheep sheets are better than my faves – planets and shooting stars. Yours have sheep instead of planets!
I got a man even with my whacky flannelette sheets 🙂
