Cat Hair and Sewing

Jeff and I bathed the cats yesterday and then gave them both a good brushing. They seem to be losing hair left and right. I don't remember them losing so much hair last year! But we bought them a metal comb, and that took a lot of hair off, and then we got this rubbery brush that took off even more. Reminds me of when dad used to have us help brush out Hardy and Chauncey and there was hair everywhere.

I should have taken a video of Keef having his bath. He's an amazing kitty to bathe. He didn't meow once. He tried to get out of the sink now and then but for the most part he just takes it.

Today we bought a new sewing machine. I wanted to make myself a quillow, like the one I made for Mel when she had Wellington. I really like cows so I picked out some cow themed stuff.


I read a whole bunch of review on these, it was great for most people, but a lot of people said they hated it. I figured they were the kind of people who wanted really heavy-duty projects done, and I just wanted a little crafting machine.


Here's the finished blanket

We also took our car into the JiffyLube on 14th and Main for an oil change, and we were both really really impressed with the service they gave us. Right when we pulled up, someone came out to greet us, shook our hands, showed us where we could wait, offered to get us anything we needed, it was just really nice. We like to see when people understand that the level of service really does influence our decision to visit again.

That's pretty much all that we have been up to around here.
