(Wednesday....)

These 4 belong to our little cross-eyed mama...we think she had them next door at a house that

is up for sale and unoccupied...but this last Saturday, she brought them home to raise them here! We'll be able to snag these with no problem in another week or so!

This little guy is a different story...he's one of two that mom hasn't brought down off our roof yet so the safe traps have gone up there so we can try and get them down safely!

This has been one amorous Spring around here!

(Update on the four little ones that fell down into our walls...they are all together and being fostered until they are old enough for new homes!)

Now on to shop news.....

(Monday morning)

Our kitten saga continues....

Just when we thought all the kittens might be out of the attic...#4 baby fell down into the wall Saturday night. Of course...not in the same place as the other 3, so we had to cut another new hole in a different wall to get this one out!  We're really thinking there might only be four...but we are waiting about a week or so to see if we hear anything going on before we get the roofers out to do any repairs!

Is there anyone out there that would like to adopt a yellow tabby kitten...in case we come up with a 5th one?? Please let me know if you're interested! Right now, we're figuring this little guy is about 6 weeks old!
(UPDATE ON THE KITTENS...there are at least 2 more!!)

On a different note....

This is for the girls who are in our Civil War BOM club...if you haven't picked up your kit,

or if you did, and you didn't open it up to look at it....the "freebie" this month is a coupon for 25% off any one cut of fabric.(It can be any amount of yardage as long as it's one cut!) It's only good until June 11th...so if you think it might come in handy, don't forget it's in that packet!

********************   

We went to VA on Friday and came back with a bunch of goodies for the shop...I'm cropping the pictures now...I'll have them up later today sometime! But if your out and about...be sure and drop by and see all the new pieces for yourself!
