I Like Thursday #33

Image may contain: cat and indoor

Welcome to I Like Thursday! My daughter got a new calendar for Christmas. I love seeing cats in fun surroundings. This one is a bit chubby and he's got the television controls! He looks quite comfortable to me!

I bought this at JoAnn's at few years ago. I always love anything to do with the beach. I feel it makes the nicest addition to any room, any decor. It reminds me of the summer. I usually need it when we're in the middle of the cold winter!

I got this for Christmas. I had one years ago but it would never stay on the ruler. I'm hoping this is a new and improved version. Has anyone used this before? I'm going to have to try it out. I keep forgetting I have it!

Seeing this pile of blocks makes me very happy! I've been working on Carolina Chain for a long time but decided it needs to be finished. I have 56 blocks done out of 75! 19 more to go! I feel I'm finally making some good progress on this one.

Those are my likes for this week! It's awfully cold here this morning but I have to go out later. I'm hoping to get some sewing done before I leave. Please visit LeeAnna over at Not Afraid of Color for more fun and positive posts!! Stay warm!

  1. Hi Rosemary! Oh, that is a chubby kitty but he looks very intent on the program he is watching - no changing the channel on him during this tense part! And, I haven't not tried that handle for your ruler but I am interested in hearing what you think about it. I have had a few issues with my ruler slipping, especially when cutting a long length. Shorter distances I can keep the ruler steady, but over 9 or 10 inches and it slips slightly. Oh, your Carolina Chain blocks look so fabulous and only a few to go. Only 25% to go!! ~smile~ Roseanne

    1. Thanks, Roseanne! I'll let you know how that handle works out. Of course, I cut fabric today and forgot to use it! I like the 25%! So close to finishing up!

  3. That kitty looks like he is not likely to share the controller, hopefully he's watching something good! And the sea coral is lovely, I like things mounted that way in shadowboxes.

  6. Definitely on the chubby side!, we have a tuxedo kitty but thankfully she is somewhat slimmer! Rosemary I had exactly the same problem with the grip many years ago and ditched it! It is a good idea and I hope your new one actually sticks!

  7. Wow that is one chubby kitty. Lucy the cat was headed that way until I took over feeding her. I have a grip thingy but it is much smaller. I always forget I have it too.

    1. I have a skinny cat and a chubby cat. I found the chubby kitty eating her bowl of food one morning as well as my other cat's food. So glad I saw it and fed my skinny kitty. So fresh!

    1. Thanks so much, Dawn! I can't believe I'm almost at the end of this quilt. I've been working on it forever!

  9. Yep kitty looks quite content having rule over the remote control. Pretty kitty!

    I hope your ruler grips doesn't disappoint. I have had my share of slipped ruler while cutting. I purchased something that looks so similar to your grip for my husband to use in shower stall to keep himself from falling. I wonder if that would work as a ruler grip? Huh, I found it and it does work!!
    Thanks for the tip! Now to find time to use it. LOL!

    Looks like you are making great progress on your blocks!
