Dimsdale and family....

Here are my companions,  Dimsdale,  Tubby her gigantic brother and their dad,  Hector when he was just a kitten.  They are such goofy kitties,  but very sweet and always willing to mess about with the fabrics in my sewing studio.....  Tubby likes to get up close with the machine when it is in use,  Hector and Dimmy prefer to just find a spot and nestle in.  I lost all the photos on my computer, and I was glad to discover a few cat portraits in the dregs of my computer files.

Today I spent a couple of hours looking at people's blogs, lots of beautiful quilts,  stories, etc.  I have been making quilts and other things for many years, but have become kind of paralyzed lately when it comes to creative things.  I have been inspired to try some things I have never done before. It is a little too cold in my studio tonight,  but I have plans for tomorrow.  The scrap pile of tiny bits and strips under and around my cutting table are calling me.  I have been working on a small quilt for the Quilt Alliance but I don't think I like it.  Time to try a new one.  Okay,  I better get busy...
