First up - an update on Quentin! He's been so busy getting into everything, playing with his brothers, and he's become very helpful with working on the computer and project I'm working on - I think he thinks he can do it better! He absolutely loves paper - no piece of paper is safe in this house anymore. Also plastic bags - he's forever crawling in them - and i can't tell you how many times he's running around with a plastic bag around him! He also loves to be around someone at all times, if it's not me and my husband, he's constantly seeking out Jonesy and Riley. Riley just loves him and has been "showing" him things - it's really sweet. The other week my husband got out this toy that Riley and Jonesy outgrew - it's a ring with a ball in side and the cat can roll the ball and try to get it out but can't - Well Quentin was staring at it and didn't know what to do and Riley was watching him watch it - he went over and showed him twice how to use it and then sat back and let Quentin play - again so sweet!
Being with him everyday it's hard to see his growth - but at times I do think he's grown and other times I think not.
Sunday sunbeams....
I told you before - leave my tail alone!
Nap time...
I'm great at scaling mountains...
I'm tuckered out - time for a nap in Mom's lap...
Okay time to get up....stretch...................
Excuse me, but I have my receipt, I need to return an item...
Watch out - here I come...
BOO!!!!
Time to help Mom on the computer...
Nap time with Riley...
So that's how it's been around our house - always having to watch your step because of some little guy with grey fur. Have to say he does make me laugh on a daily basis and I do believe the other boys are happy he's here!
A couple of weeks ago in my mailbox was a package from Kelley . She hooked me, or should I saw Quentin, this little pillow to commemorate his new home with us! Now I have to say she got inspired because she found some "bright pink" wool strips (in reality - they are a nice prim pink - Bright is here word!) in her stash and made this pillow - If you remember most of the pics of Quentin when he was smaller he was laying on a pink fleece!
She also sent some of her primitive noodles/worms - Isn't it great - Love it - Thank you so much Kelley and Quentin thanks you too - he often lays up against it but of course he moves when I grab the camera!
And if that wasn't a big enough surprise to get the mail that day - I got another package on Friday (However did not know about it until later - my husband sat it on the dining room table and i hadn't been in there all weekend!) Anyway - my husband said "Just what is in the box you got - the boys are all over it!" I said what box! I saw it was from Ann! And my first thought was her kitties Shadow and Frito - hmmm didn't think she would pack them! Well inside was a basket she made along with some kitty treats! Ann has a selling blog - 1803 Ohio Farm Baskets - and does the most awesome work. Oh Ann - I'm speechless - thank you so much - absolutely love the basket! "1862 Woolhooker Goods". And she did this all because she won my give-a-way - I'm thinking I was the one that won! What a treasure!
Oh and about the kittys and the box - the kitty treats must have opened in transit and the boys smelled that - along with the fact that I bet Frito and Shadow probably helped her pack the bag!
After I unpacked it - I think Quentin was having more fun with the styrofoam..
Again, thank you Ann ! Just love it!
Haven't been doing too much hooking but have been working on some woven hearts. They have gone to the Cinnamon Stick for sale.
Last night I finally organized some of my wool room so I'm hoping to get busy and get some new hooking projects started - that is if a certain someone with gray fur lets me hook - it's a challenge to even pay the bills with him (remember his paper fetish?)!
Have a great week!

Pictures of Quentin and the boys always bring smiles! Love that Woolhookers Goods basket! Looks like your doing a fine job of keeping Judy busy! ;-)
Oh Joanne, thankyou for the lovely pictures of those boys, how wonderful that they have taken to Q so well, I love the one where he is being cuddled.
I can see he has grown and already is looking one handsome cat.
My Willow likes playing tennis with screwed up paper balls, every morning he sits on the bed and waits for a game. A little trying sometimes when I want to get on, but how can I deny him a small pleasure like that.

Wow...Quentin has grown! Love the pillow from Kelley. And, the basket...let's just say I love everything you showed in photos today. ha! Glad to hear you're keeping busy.
Joanne,
I love how Riley showed Quentin what to do with the toy! I think it's fascinating when animals do such things and goes to show we have so much to learn from
THEM!
Wonderful goodies you received and love your hearts!
Hugs!!

It's so fun to see Quentin all snuggled with a brother's paw firmly around him keeping him safe. I love the cat/Quentin mat...it's purrfect!

You write the best stories Joanne!
One big happy family in Spring Mount!
Great gifts from both Kelley and Ann..
Joanne, I can't believe how much Quentin has grown! My boys - the ones with 2 legs, not 4 are also in amazement at his growth and how cute he is. I think Quentin and Shadow would be in so much trouble if they lived in the same house - I guess it's a good thing you didn't send him along with my feather tree kit. The 2 of them would be in the same plastic bag together - Shadow has the same problem of getting stuck in them and then running around the house with the bag around his middle. Maybe it's the grey in them!
I Love your little pillow of Quentin - especially the pink! Frito can relate to that. Glad you like your basket - hope you can use it in your rug hooking.

I am so happy that the big boys have taken to him so well!! I know they were not sure about him at first!! How sweet of Riley to "show him the ropes!!"

Totally amazing at how BIG Quentin has gotten! Nooooo, you don't spoil any of those boys ;).
What a sweet surprise from Kelley! and that basket from Ann is wonderful too! It's nice to see you blogging again and catching us up on everything. Those boys sure do keep you busy :)
Joanne, it's nice seeing how the two cats have become the best buddies. Cats are so entertaining. Quentin looks like he has an attitude in one of the pictures.
I hope that you are keeping warm and safe. JB
He sure has grown. I am glad to see they are all getting along. I know what you mean about not getting much done, or finished. I just can't seem to get my act together. I am thankfully getting over Strep throat. I am getting better anyway. Hopefully tonight, alot of laundry will get done at my house. Hope you have a good night.
