This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Mother's Not-So-Little Helper
Day 165: The bias binding for a quilt I sold finally arrived yesterday, and I was anxious to get started on finishing it. I knew better than to lay it out on the floor. Pins and pussycats are not a good combination, so I brought out a card table and laid my formica "bread board" on top of it so that I'd have enough length to pin most of one side at a time. I put the quilt on the improvised crafts table and went in the kitchen to get the pins. It took all of fifteen seconds, and this is what I found when I came back. I should have known. Merry is the only cat I've ever shared my home with who flatly refused to accept the stricture of "no cats on hard surfaces." And I know I will not win this battle, no matter how hard I try. I did manage to keep him off while I was actively pinning, and by the time I'd got to the third side, sewing each side as I went along, the novelty had worn off. He curled up in his cushy bed for a nap, satisfied that Mama didn't need help with her project after all.
