I hope everyone had a safe and Merry Christmas

Sorry there was no post Christmas Day....weather took the internet out!  I pray that everyone in the bad weather's path made out OK!  It was a little nerve wracking here for awhile.  Most everyone that knows me, knows that I am terrified of bad weather!  I wasn't like that until Hurricane Katrina changed me. 
 
Me and God do a whole lot of chatting when the weather is bad.....and guess what...he keeps telling me the same thing....FEAR NOT! 
 
I am so blessed to have friends that treat me like family all year long, but especially during the holidays.  So as soon as the bad weather passed thru they texted and wanted to know if I was coming for Christmas supper....I was already getting dressed when they called. 
 
I don't know about you, but as soon as Christmas is over I start planning the New Year!  Wow, 2013, can you believe that!  Quite frankly, if I sewed 365 days a year, I couldn't possibly get all the beautiful things I want to make, done in a year!  And then all of you inspire me to add to my list with your beautiful projects.
BUT PLEASE DON'T STOP!
I love reading your blogs!
 
So hope your Christmas was wonderful and everything  you wished for.....
 
and Happy New Year!

You are all so kind...

I wish I could answer every sweet comment I received about my "Kitty Lane" pillow.....but....I had an emergency!  My beautiful Little Man was so sick when I came home Monday that I found him hiding in the clothes hamper in the bathroom.  It was 7 p.m. so I had to wait to take him to the vet Tuesday morning.  I was so scared!  He is my heart!
 
The vet says he has Feline HIV.  It is not contagious to humans, but it caused him to have mouth sores so he was having problems eating.  He received a mega shot of antibiotics and another of steroids.  He was so sad looking when I brought him home that night.  He had to eat some special food with lots of nutrients and drink lots of water.
 
I am proud to say that he is sitting in my lap right now, looking at me with those big blue eyes and meowing softly to let me know that he objects to me typing instead of loving on him.  He is still not 100% but he is working on it.  But he is really upset because he can't go outside!
 
Wasn't the Holiday Lane hop fun!  So many beautiful ideas!  I would love to say I am going to make some more, but....

 Sounds like so much fun!  I love words!
Madame Samm has done it again.  Check it out!

Here comes Santa Claus...right down Kitty Kat Lane

 Everyone who knows me....
knows I love my kitties...
so when I signed up to do the Holiday Lane Blog Hop...
well....
there had to be kitties!
I picked up these cute fat quarters during Sample Spree at the International Quilt Festival 2011
from Deb Strain...they were part of her Santa Claws & Paws line.  I have been saving them for a special project.
 


I decided to make mine into a wall hanging....with two cats in the house we don't do pillows well!
Hope you have enjoyed seeing my trip down Holiday Lane.

Thanks to Pauline of Quiltnqueen
