Meet Fiona

I know, I know~ this is sounding repetitious here! I didn't know we'd have one kitten by now, let alone two, because we weren't supposed to get the kitten until August 1st. But they said the mama cat was done with the litter of kittens, which kind of surprised me considering that she has always been such a good mama to her babies. I guess everyone has their limit, even cats. However, that is how I have come to be holding this tiny kitten in one hand, typing with my other hand...(You'd never believe how difficult it is to hunt and peck the letters!) :)





This is a picture that Gracie took...She is SO small! She is also still very much in the process of learning to use the litter box! There have been countless accidents, but today was a better day~ not one mishap...so far. (Cross your fingers for me!) I am overwhelmed right now with cats, but I am sure it will get easier, especially when I can let this new one out of my sight, meaning trust that she will use the litter box...I named her "Fiona", because that is her mama's name, and she looks so much like her! :)

I did do another little lampshade today, this time with some cherries fabric I found. It didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped, but I still like the shade! I painted this pewter like lamp base I found at the Goodwill white earlier, and put the shade on that. I'm not sure it is big enough for it, but it works for me. I have had a cherry theme in my kitchen for about four years now, and am definitely keeping the theme as we redo the room...




Can you see the two different yellows painted on the wall? That was my stopping point last winter, because we are putting beadboard underneath the cabinets...Here's a question for you, that I am going back and forth on again: would you put in a backsplash with the beadboard on top, or just the beadboard for a backsplash? I have seen it both ways, but not that we are talking about the more expensive solid surfacing, in particular concete, do you think it would bad to skip out on a backsplash, just using beadboard? I am NOT good at making decisions!


I also wanted to say that I am going to be by to visit you all in the next few days! This past week was a blur of "busy-ness", and I am hoping for an easier one this week! :) Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and that your week gets off to a great start tomorrow! Have a good night and take care! :)
