MeOwZa MoNDay

We wore ourselves out searching the web...
so now we're just gonna nap...
but we found you some cute KiDees
at
Sew Delicious
that you can make.

Meanwhile we're on our own today...
Mamma Mouse and Spouse just walked out the door...
mamma did this really weird thing with her hand and said
"Live Long and Prospurrrrrr"
MeOwZa....and we could be wrong...
but we think her ears looked a little more
pointy than usual....
humans...
or is that vulcans?

She's a busy mouse these days...
getting ready for the
Tree City Quilters Quilt Show
May 4&5

Shaking up her Pom-Poms...

We're not sure what that means...

she doesn't tell us everything

A new blog hop...we shoulda known!
We think she said she is going to show off her

MeOwZa MoNDay - A Double Header

Time for March NewFO Report! MeOwZa!  Here we are again! Twice in One Day!

Oh yeh.... We're linking up with Barbara at Cat Patches be sure to check out her  linky party  to see what everyone else has been doing! >^..^< The starts....

A couple of blocks made for a special group quilt. (It's a surprise...  so we can't talk more about it now... not even if you bribe us with catnip... our kitty lips are sealed) >^..^< Still trying to catch on on a Feb block exchange... one made....

....a kazillion to go. >^..^< For Mom's first "Covert Robin" exchange... (more about that in coming days) she made one of her favorite quilt diddies and was working on a tutorial... until she realized she sewed the zipper in backwards....
(MeOwHaHaHa -oops)

"MeOuch" We told her no one would notice... but sometimes she's such a purrrr-fectionist... so..... ...decided to keep that one for herself... and made another for her secret furrr-iend.

Needless to say...a deadline was looming... and the tutorial didn't happen. Maybe next time. >^..^< About all of the other wonderful things  that were started and finished in March? We'd show em' all over again... but we've done it so Purrrr-fectly earlier today in our Purrrr-revious MeOwZa MoNDay Post. (not to mention...I really need a Cat Nap!) Til next week...

It's MeOwZa MoNDaY....BOO!

Our mom has sooooooo many favorite humans

she visits out in blogland, 

but this gal, 

Marjory from Pecks Pieces

is one of our feline favorites too!

She really knows how to pay homage to those like me,

who are so purrrrrfectly divine.

Miss Marjory has designed one

MeOwZa

of a quilt....

We've never met....

but don't you think 

those simply elegant creatures look

just like moi?

The best part...you can download the

FREE blocks

from Pecks Pieces

starting HERE with the first one!

(Isn't Marjory the grrrr-eatest?)

You can make this furrrr-A-bulous quilt

There's nothing like a little

Black Cat...

But 9 of them?

Even Better!!!

Oh that Marvin...such a silly boy...

Come back next week for another delightful

feline discovery.

Time to Par-TAY!!! Blog Hop Party and Give-Away

There's a Party going on now thru March 14th
and.....

You are Invited!

Down here in Floreeeedah land, there's not much snow for sledding....

...in fact, there's none...

(thank you Mother Nature)

....but I swear it's been cold enough lately that we've seriously thought about digging out our skates...

....Yes, I'll admit it...I'm a wimpette...born and raised in New England you'd think it wouldn't bother me...but my oh my...let it drop below 60 degrees and I just shiver and shake...
...out come the flannel jammies...

When we heard Michele over at Quilting Gallery was hosting another one of her simply Fabulous parties...
(we were hoping it was a pajama party...oh well, maybe next time)

"Beat the Winter Blues"...

...the KiDees pleaded and begged me to let them be in charge of the of the party post...

they said they could get things really warmed up...

(they can be quite conniving convincing at times...)

Before I lose total control here - let me just say
Thank YOU
for joining the festivities.
If it's your first time here
(and oh how I  love newbies),
I hope you'll come back again after the party because I am really enjoying this virtual 'diary'...
I like sharing what's happening in our little corner of the quilting world...
sharing with you things that I've made or are in the works...
as well as little stories that I hope will make you smile.

I love to talk about my sweet lovin' Spouse...

(clownin' for the camera)

& of course, my favorite Pink Girl...
my 93yr old Mom...

This year I decided to make the most out of every day...
...I've been having a blast challenging myself  to write more
  tutorials ...
....joining in more Blog Hops
(check the sidebar on the left for some sure to be fun ones  you won't want to miss)
and stretching my brain...some days more then others *wink*
Plus getting to know you thru your comments and such...
you give me more then I can ever return...
....new friendships are blossoming...
I'm one lucky gal!

Ok...the KiDees are mewin' and hissin' and starting to give me evil "cat eyes"...
I guess it's time I let them take over....
so Break out the catnip...
Pour yourself a bowl of cream...
Let the ParTay begin!

Take it away, Mia!

Mia?
Psssst...you're on...wake up!

(oh yes sweet Mia...Mama's got big ears...she heard...maybe this is a job for someone more adult)
Willy?

Mom wrote a blog about 'her' - it was really about US. She has been promising to show you "who's who"....thank the kitty Gods..she finally did it...
(*whew* I thought for nanosecond I was going to have to do it myself.)
From a previous Blog Hop
"It's All About Me"
HERE WE ARE! 

The KiDees - Revealed

And guess what?
This party post is just the beginning...
we've been asking Mom for one more favor...

Marvin can be sooooo dramatic!

But it worked!

MeOwZa!
We're getting our Own Page!

That's right...starting on Monday
(unless of course we're out cattin' around)
we'll start sharin' the load - givin' Mom a little more quiltin' time.
Each Monday one of us KiDees will bring you the Mews!
(We really wanted our own blog...Mom just LOL at that one.)
It's a start.

I guess that's all for the party...
we know you're anxious to hop on to the next one...
Oh wait...there's something going on...

Of course!
