Around the House

Thanks for your encouraging words about the mouse fear, and sharing your fears too. Sometimes it's not easy to admit what we're afraid of, so thank you!

To help ease my worried mind, we adopted a new kitty cat last week. He's super cute, sweet, playful, and has all the makings of a serial mouser. Meet Dexter:

He hasn't had a chance to officially test his mousing skills, as there has been no sign of a mouse for over a week. Thank goodness. So in the meantime, he's resting up for his big adventures.


Sorry to be such a bore with the mouse talk. I'm happy to put a lid on it for a while.

Tuesday I noticed some beautiful flowers hiding behind some ugly, over grown weed bushes, and I couldn't resist snipping a few to enjoy indoors.




Of course I left a few outdoors, so the bees and butterflies could enjoy them too. I had no idea what these beauties were called, so I Googled it, and found out they are a perennial called Lycoris, also known as a Spider Lily. I just love finding lovely surprises like these, don't you?

I promise my next post will be a craft related one. I'm finally wrapping up a big work order for Sublime Stitching, which I will share with you soon. Now I can focus on Darcy's birthday, in less than a month, and our annual pumpkin carving contest, exactly one month from today!

xoxo
Amy

I love the flower photos so much I can't even tell you...I already commented on flickr but had to say it again here.

p.s. can't wait to see what the sublime stitching order is!
