Crafting and kitten time

DD's on mega early shifts at work this week. Not good for getting up when it's not quite light. But really good for me getting stuff done if I get up with her. Including some crafting, which I haven't had time to do for a while. Mainly due to these two bundles of fur ........

They may look cute and cuddly, but they take up so much time!! As we've not had to introduce new kittens in to the house for about ten years, we're very conscious that we want to do it right, and that means doing it very slowly and keeping an eye on things to make sure the rest of the adult cats, and Oscar, are ok. So far we're doing ok. There's been a bit of hissing from the other cats (and the kittens),  but nothing major. And Oscar? Well, he seems to be a bit nervous of the kittens. So much so that he wouldn't even look at them last night when we were going to bed, came to me for a cuddle so he could hide behind me, and went the long way round to go to bed so that he could avoid Minnie who was sat in his way! So I think you could say we don't have to worry about Oscar attacking the kittens! Hopefully they'll become friends in time. 

And the bit of crafting I've been able to do has been after DD has left for work at 4.30am. Time to get out the paint and brushes to see what new shapes I can get ready for my next craft fairs. 

Not quite finished but getting there.....

DD has started her training plan this week too, the start of her 17 week training before her half marathon in November. As I used to go running, albeit a good few years ago, it's motivated me to get my own running shoes and go out with her. I've only been twice as I'm back at beginner level, but it's been fun to be out. 

And then there's the dog walking.... And the reading....And the vegetables in the greenhouse .......

Keeping busy ......!
