Sad News

Sadly Kitty passed away at the vets just a short while ago.
This photo was taken last weekend of her sat in a cardboard box.
Needles to say we are all so upset by this.
It seems she was quite poorly but they did there best for her.
I am just sorry we could not have been with her at the end.

bye for now

Kitty & Tabby!

Evening everyone!
Hope you all have had a good day.
The weather has been wonderful today, can't believe the change.
I have been busy making some cards which I will share with you all
over the next few days.

I took these two photos of Kitty & Tabby while the where sunning themselves
on the landing this afternoon.
They do not normally get this close to each other, so of
course I had to take some photos!

See you all tomorrow!

Elegant Ladies!

Today's card is a pryamage card, elegant ladies.
Back paper is vellum.
Copper brads.

Kitty update!
She is doing ok, she is very steady on her feet and just eats
when she feels like it.
She only goes outside for a while now and again.

We had a right night last night with the cats. As some of you know we have another
cat called Tabby who is a part time visitor to our house. He is another stray
but he is a very young cat and he likes to be outside.
But last night about midnight we could hear a lot of yowling,
Tabby and another cat were having a huge scrap and we could do nothing about it as we could not get near them. After it was all over he came to our back door at about 1am this morning
in a right mess. He had got injuries to his eye, neck on both sides and his foot, so while we were looking after Tabby and cleaning him up Kitty wants to go outside.
So of she goes and does not come back for ages, Tabby is asleep on his cushion and
my white shirt is covered in blood.
So we did not get to bed until after 2.30am and I am now tired.
Tabby has visited us today and he is very subdued, poor thing I just hope he is ok.

I am back!!!

Hello everyone, I am finally back in the land of blogging!!!
How I have missed it.
Thank you to everyone who has been asking after me.
I had a really bad head cold and was poorly for a few days, I missed Jake's concert
at school, very disappointed at that:-(.
Then Jake caught it and was off school for a couple of days.
So now we are getting back to normal and I am so far behind with things!

I have had a few messages asking about Kitty, she is doing ok at the moment.
Her eating is up and down a bit, she only goes outside now and again.We are all very happy
that she is slowly getting back to her old self!

Today's card was made for Adele's boyfriends birthday.
Quite fitting really as he is in a band!

I have got some more cards made I just need to get them photographed.
The lighting here is terrible at the moment.

Bye for now!

Black & White Penguin!

Oh my, isn't this penguin soo cute!
I think this is the quickest card I have made in a long time lol.
I just love black & white Chistmas cards.

I have not made any cards for a few days as I have been
seeing to Kitty! She is getting lots of love and attention.
She was sick twice this morning and it took me ages to clean up.
She is only eating a small amount of food per day but she is no worse
in herself.

Now I am going to go and make some candy cane mice for the school fair!
See you all tomorrow.

Kitty Update!

We have just brought Kitty home from the vets!
Needless to say we are all very very happy.
She has just had all her medicines and a drink and has now settled down.
We have put her some food out so I just hopes she eats it.
Thank you for asking about her I really appreciate it!

I might not get to post tomorrow as I am going to the NEC!!!
My mum is kitty sitting for us!!

Kitty

We have had to take Kitty back to the vets tonight.
She has not been eating.
It is not very good news I am afraid.
I said we should let her go as I think she has suffered enough, she is so thin
and her kidneys are suffering.
But Kevin said give her another chance.
We were both in tears as we have got so attached to her in a short time.
Mind you Kitty has been sulking with me today, she would not let me fuss her.
When she was sat on the vets table she put her head in my chest and let me fuss her.
So she is now spending the night at the vets and they will put her on a drip
and will try to get her to eat. They will phone us tomorrow and if there is no improvement she will be put to sleep.
I am finding this hard to type with the tears rolling down my face but I felt the need to share
this sad news with my blogging friends!

Kitty Update!

As you know we went to the vets last night with Kitty.
They think she is about 13 years old now and are not too keen
on taking the thyroid gland out as she might not survive the anesthetic.
There was no mention of taking her teeth out i am pleased to say.
She is now on one tablet a a day. They weighed her and she only weighs 2.8kilos,
poor thing! We have to go back in two weeks to see if she has put weight on.
Kitty has not eaten anything since Thursday evening!
We have tried to tempt her with all sorts of things but she would not eat.
Then she finally decided to eat something this evening,
two pouches of fish and some roast chicken from Morrison's.
So you can imagine we are all quite relieved.
I don't know what will happen if she does not gain some weight, we will just have to keep
our fingers crossed for her.

Snowman Card

Today's card idea came from Dawns Stampin Studio.

I don't have the same size punches as Dawn, so I have just made do with the punches I have.
I loved making this card so much that I thought I would try to adapt it to make a
Father Christmas.

What do you think, will it do!

Kitty update!

She is about the same as yesterday.
She went outside for ten minutes.
Not really eaten much today:-(
and she is fast asleep in front of the radiator.

Have a good day everyone!
It's very cold here today and we had frost on the ground this morning!

No Cards Today!

Sorry but I have no cards to share with you all today!

To tell you the truth it has been a very stressful day and I just don't feel like
creating anything!

As some of you may know we took in a stray cat back in May.
When she came to use she was just skin & bone.
She is a lovely cat, house trained, well behaved you could not ask for any more!
Well yesterday she was not eating and we thought it might be a fur ball again,
which she gets every couple of weeks. So we usually gets a day where she will not eat
until she has sicked the hair ball up.
So this morning when Kevin came downstairs he found some sick on the floor and
some blood and we could see something was wrong.
Phoned the vet and got in at dinner time. Well we have got one poorly puss!
She has an overactive thyroid and bad teeth. So she is on two sets of tablets.
We have never had a cat before and trying to give her a tablet when she wont eat is really hard.
It has taken three of us to give her the tablets!
If she improves over the next two weeks
when she has her next trip to the vets she will have to have her teeth out.
If there is no improvement, it sounds like Kitty will have to be put to sleep!

I have just taken these two photos of Kitty!

Poor baby!

She is so thin and needs to put weight on. We are having to puree her food
to get her to eat. We are getting her to eat a bit every hour.
She is drinking a lot and just sits there looking sorry for herself, poor thing!
