Pin It Weekly #213

Happy weekly! Time to see what people are a'pinnin.

Dorte Rasmussen Denmark has many quilt boards (everything from colors to kinds to block types to sizes) one of my favorites is titled "Country Life Oh Yes." Here are a few of her pins.

Priscilla Gray has ten boards, one of them is Weddings and has some charming ideas. Here are a couple of them.

One of my sisters uses the name Charmed Life on some social media, so when I saw the name, I followed thinking it was her. Nope. It's not. But that's okay because this CharmedLife has lots of boards, one of which is "Fine Art."

Have a great week and, if you live in Florida, please be safe and know that there are many people praying for you and yours.

Pin It WeEkly #206! Fleur de Lis Quilts celebrates its fourth AnnIversary of 

Pin It Weekly this week! (yay!)

we've been shooting for 

25 pins a week and almost made it...

LiFe got in the way, but herE we aRe.

Let's CelEbrAte!

I've been pinning a few modern pillows because 1. I like them and 2. they can be great inspiration for quilts.

Pillows by She Can Quilt--look at that matchstick quilting!

A new board on my Pinterest pages, "farm, equipment" is a tribute (of sorts) to my dad and father-in-law who were both farmers when Richard and I married. 

The rest are just random pins that I recently discovered.

Not a pillow, but it sure would
make a great one!

The rest are just random pins that I pinned recently.

Kitties and Kiddies

So we have stray cats around the farm.  It's normally not kosher to have feral cats, but there's not much we can do since we can't catch them.  Adding to the problem is that people tend to use our area as a drop-off place for animals they don't want.  

It's sad but the reality is that the cats are here. I can't let them starve nor can we afford to spay/neuter every one.  This sometimes means babies also arrive.  

The babies are always cute, mewing under bushes, peeking around corners, darting under equipment.  As soon as the grandchildren hear them, it's on!  Dusti and Jolie have searched for hours.   Kittens are great at hiding when they don't want to be found--especially once they grow a bit.  

Last weekend Marley and Dusti did the searching.  Once found, the kittens were treated to a bath, food and TLC.  The only problem with getting TLC from a four-year-old: tight squeezes and fewer escapes under the furniture.  If only for an hour or two, these four little kittens certainly were appreciated.  I'm hopeful that we'll be able to find a couple of good homes for them.  They quickly took to being handled and ate soft food, but they are still very young and can't leave their mother quite yet.
