Limedragon is having a contest to celebrate her new WordPress blog. Simply leave a comment by Saturday, October 21, and you could win a lovely skein of All Things Heather sock yarn!
For anyone who tried to comment yesterday and got a weird error – sorry! I was trying a new antispam plugin that was a wee bit too aggressive. Didn’t get any spam, though! But I’d rather hear from y’all and am willing to delete a bit of spam to do so. 🙂
In the midst of all this doing absolutely nothing on my vacation (which has been extremely relaxing), I’ve gotten frightfully behind in thank yous. Whoops…
First, V of Spells with… sent me a wonderful package with a cool postcard, chocolate (with espresso beans in it – yum), and something for the kitties. Here’s what V wrote to Chaos and May on the card:
To the kitties: Meet Catharsis, the Catnip Cat (Agent Triple C, but you can call her Cathy for short). If you’re ever mad at your brother/sister, Cathy is here to help. Mom won’t like it if you chew each other’s tail off, so stick with Cathy in those moments!
True enough – thanks, V! Here’s May checking out the card, while Chaos hops off the coffee table, in pursuit of Cathy. (Guess Chaos had been storing up some anger, there.)
Isn’t Cathy adorable?? You’ll just have to imagine how cute it was when Chaos was rubbing her all over his face, since my camera battery died.
Moving right along, I got a monster skein of sportweight cotton from Becky of Moonfrog for being one of her contest winners. Thanks, Becky!
I also won Kate’s Look Back and Cringe contest. Kate sent an increases/decreases KnitKard, a really cute knitting card, some gorgeous Mountain Colors sock yarn, cute little stitchmarkers, some nice pepperminty soap, a black sheep tape measure (I really wanted one of these and almost bought one on the yarn crawl!), and colored pencils (mmm, school supplies in the fall – excellent!). Thanks, Kate!
Sorry, May, those stitchmarkers are not cat toys. Kate apologized for not including anything for the kitties, but little did she know that she had…
Doing nothing is the best holiday,
but,
you did spend quality time with the babies!
Wow! So many goodies! You are a lucky girl!
You lucky thing 🙂 I love Catnip Cathy and I bet Chaos and Mayhem did too 🙂
Catnip Cathy is so cute and, I maintain that vacations shouldn’t involve any plans cause other wise they’d be planned-cations…vac=vacant=nothingness=I don’t know where I’m going with this…hmmm….Happy tuesday!
I agree, spending quality time with yourself is sometimes the best vacation of them all.
Catnip Cathy – she’s so cute! And she’d last about, oh, say 15 minutes at my place!
🙂
If Chaos and May follow the instructions in the card, I wonder how long it will take for Cathy to lose her tail.
Catnip Cathy! How insanely cute………
You definitely have a wee spot of contest mojo there!
Great stuff – no nip? Poor Chaos.
Being on vacation means no “have tos” so we understand being behind a bit. But what wonderful things to be thankful for!
What a wonderful bunch of goodies! Don’t you just love new colored pencils??
Heehee…you and the kitties are very welcome. 🙂 Does she still have a tail?
That’s a nice box of loot there at the bottom! Oooo….aaaah….mountain colors!!!
Hey Chris- What do you mean you didn’t do anything? Doesn’t watching Chao’s butt hair grow back count?
Sorry, couldn’t resist. Cute Kitty toy!
Cathy’s adorable! 🙂
*sigh* visiting your site is bad for me, I always have this urge to adopt another kitty into my life. Hubby would not like, daughter who is allergic would love, but would sniffle all day.
Wow, cute stuff for you and for kitties too! Get it May, get it!
Now that is a huge ball of yarn!
Catnip Cathy is so cute! Glad to hear that Chaos is sort of on the mend. Much fun at mealtimes, I bet.
Chaos and May are so cute together! I just want to squeeze them both!
Nice prize goodies. Catnip Cathy is really cute too! I see May is getting the hang of tearstrips.
What great packages! Chaos looks like such a patient teacher!
Bummer! I would have liked to that pic of Chaos but the catnip doesn’t seem to be very strong since he doesn’t look as zombified as I know he can.
I hope your first day back to work is not too painful!
At least it’s a short week!!
I love a commitment-free holiday! 😉
What great gifts and Cathy is just too cute. I know the “children” love her.
I love the kitties’ glossy coats. I guess I’m getting into the cool weather and am admiring all things warm and soft and sleek …
Wow – May looks like she’s getting big!
I think it’s terribly funny that the wee one is getting instructions in proper tearstrip teasing from Chaos! I like that Agent Triple C!
Congrats are definitely in order! Look at all the goodies!
Very cute catnip cat:) I’m sure the kitties thoroughly enjoyed playing with it.
I love the picture of mayhem wearing the bib. If it were captioned it might read “Mommy, “IT’S Cats rule and dogs drool!!!”
I guess the secret to winning a contest is to enter ’em all?! Thanks for the links. The kitties are lookin’ fine.
That is sure a cute catnip cat. Fun stuff.
