I’m still working at my cat gobelin.

I know it will take a month or so to finish it but I just realized something: I’ve been working so far with just 6 colors.

The gobelin has 28 color threads.

So, about 60% of the gobelin is made out of 6 colors and the rest 40% is made of 22 colors. Wow! This is a shocker to me; cause that means it will take even more time to finish it. It will probably take more time changing the thread in the needle then to actually work on the gobelin.

Also, I noticed there are some portions of the gobelin where there are many colors mixed together. Well, I can’t back out now. I like the model so I will just have to suck it up and finish it.

And, just to not get bored with the current colors I did a few stitches with a shade of red just to keep me going.

I really liked this cat since it was so big and fluffy.

A cat scratch hurts more than a dog’s bite. Cats are very vengeful and pretty damn scary if you upset them.

And let’s be serious how many people would dare take on a bear?

Well, I don’t what all the cats do during winter time (I’m presuming they are trying to stay warm), but I do know what a certain cat likes to do during winter time.

This kitty is really special cause she was saved by a little kid (he’s in the third grade). He saw her getting beat up by others kids and he took her home. She was in a really bad condition, but the child and his grandmother took really good care of her and now she’s doing really well and she’s a beauty. Also, she’s a lot of fun and I like the fact that she doesn’t use her claws (unlike Johnny’s cat, Suzi, which can cut you like a knife) when you play with her.  

The best part is that the child saved last year a puppy (which has grown to be a really big dog). Now, they have 3 dogs, 4 cats and a parrot.

More pictures from our vacation.

Here are the cute kitties (I was really jealous on how they were sleeping).

And a cute bunny (they had a lot more bunnies but I could only handle one at a time).
