Another Lizzie Kate design I am working on is JOY. This is a free design that Jennifer found for the Christmas Ornament SAL. I have done the stitching and now need to put a back on it. The design has a stitched star above the "y" but I liked the border so much I continued with it.
A few weeks ago, I came home to this cat on the roof. I am sure it was chased up there by my cat, Little Girl. The only way it could have gotten up there was to climb a bush in front of the house. It was doing a great deal of meowing...
and pacing back and forth. I went to the deck on the back of the house. By the time I got there, the cat was on the back side of the roof. It was so nervous. The cat would try to jump, but it was too scared and would just crouch and shake. I moved the table closer so he/she could jump on it. I even brought out some dry cat food hoping that would bring it down. Finally the cat jumped, landing on the railing. It immediately came to me and rubbed his head on my hand as if to thank me for being there. I have seen him since. He greeted me at my car last week and my cat screamed at it. It did sound more like a scream then a meow or a growl. The cat ran off, only to return later to make himself at home on the front porch! I haven't heard anything about the job I applied for last week. Maybe no news is good news. Like I said before, if it is offered to me it was meant to be, if not, something better will come along. I have to learn to have faith, patience and the understanding that "NO" is sometimes an answer to prayers.
I am currently stitching this freebie from Waxing Moon, I hope to finish it tonight. Of course I am constantly thinking of what to stitch next, more than likely another pumpkin.
