Well, it has been a good day. 

Yep.

Kittens running everywhere.

Mama kitty has decided that she no longer wants to have the kittens in the play pen.  I tried covering the play pen with a blanket for during lessons so the kittens would stay in there and not be a distraction. But no ... that was not what she had in mind.  She began ... during my music lesson none the less ... to pick up the babies and move them to under the quilting table. 

They have since been running loose all evening running here and running there...  They are actually so darned adorable ... You can't help but smile and watch them. 

Even the dogs are getting into the spirit of kittens by chasing them here and there ... then the tables turn and the kittens chase them. 

Cookie is the designated baby sitter.  If they are out and about she is found right there in the middle of them.  She even washes their faces.

  Here's a picture of Dooley trying to take a nap ... but alas ... kittens are at it again!

Decided today was the day to start my new counted cross stitching project.  I bought a small kit that came with the embroidery floss already in the package.  Now I have used these kits before and was already aware that you have to separate all of the colors and wind them onto bobbins (or however you choose to store them).  I have since spent what feels like about three hours of my life trying to figure out what color is what so I could label them correctly.  So frustrating!  I finally looked up the colors that I couldn't figure out on line to see what the dang color was supposed to look like.  I finally got it done.  It was worthwhile to do but now I'm tired of it for a bit.  Lol …  I put my Aida cloth into the hoop and as soon as my break is over I will get started on it.

Supper was not frustrating.  It was delicious.  Flaky biscuits and beef stew!  Yes sirreee ... delicious!

They were canned flaky biscuits. 

Those of you who know me well already know that I am afraid of canned biscuits.  Yes … I am afraid of canned biscuits.  So enlisted the help of Doug, my husband, to open the biscuits for me. 

I cooked the stew, he opened the biscuits and I baked them.  (I’m not afraid of the biscuits … only the popping can)  LOL    Everything turned out just fine.  It was an easy supper and a delicious supper.  Lip smackin’ good!

Have a great day everyone!
