A special day

I was so lost after Sid and Ira died. I was not going to get another kitty for a long, long time.  I lasted 3 days before I knew I had to get another.  I started researching breeds.  Up to this point I had always had "rescue kitties".  But I found some information on this breed called 'Ragdolls'  I was hooked.  They are bred for size, beauty and temperament.  They are a 'needy' breed...they crave human interaction.  At that point in my life, it seemed like a perfect match... I found a breeder in the Tampa area, and within a couple weeks, Chloe came to live with us.  Our lives were transformed.  While our grief was still fresh, this new little one demanded our attention and love.  It was the best thing we could have done.  To this day, she (and Harry) are a constant source of joy.  Today our Chloe is 2 years old.  Happy birthday dear Chloe.And thank you for the unconditional love and pure joy you have returned to our lives.

And on a quilty note, yesterday, I received this beautiful quilted postcard from Mary.  It is for our October family exchange.  Beautiful silk ribbon embroidery with beaded accents.  Thank you Mary, I love it.

I, on the other hand am still working on my October card...almost done, just have to finish the beaded edge.  But that's OK...it'll be finished tonight and in tomorrow's mail....2 days before the due date!

Have a great night!

  1. Happy Birthday Chloe!

    It takes a LONG time to bead an outside edge doesn't it? Glad my postcard arrived safely.

  12. Deb-how needy is needy? My DH wants to get me and my granddaughter a kitten for Christmas (she'll be 3 by then). My older cat is Siamese and not so friendly w/her so we're looking for something that will love on a 3 yr old and be a bit "forgiving" of her.

  13. Diannia, ragdolls are VERY needy. They don't like be left alone at all...they get very stressed; they are always under foot, they are very talkative and very persitant when they want to be held or petted..which is pretty much the whole time they're awake. They crave attention.
