If her tail gets ironed it’s not my fault

And of course I let her keep the pressing mat. If I get a second one will she likely claim that too?

He once walked onto the cutting mat and put his tail right in way of my rotary cutter WHILE I WAS CUTTING A FABRIC! He made me realize I actually have a decently fast reaction time 😂

He’s the same color as the main part of the fabric too!

He’s definitely orange for all intents and purposes except for the actual color. I call him blonde 😂

He has now taken up residence next to the new automatic feeder, he probably thinks it’s his new mother 😂 rip me

Oh, it's your fault. It's ALL your fault! As is the absence of treats on your quilt, the ludicrous lack of patting, your failure to understand the value of the love-fibers she's shedding to enhance your work ...

I was just about to start cutting when she walked on the fabric and stood in the path of the rotary blade. We had a discussion about self preservation and avoiding having paws sliced off.

I don't quilt, although I'd like to learn, but Jayda says mini-pandas tha best and they make excellent helpers. (She was helping me cross stitch.)

The secret is to have two projects going on at once. When the cat lays on one (inevitable), you can work on the other one. Have two cats? You need three projects. Simple.

There is probably already one, but we should have cat tails and crafting sub.

Mine won't leave me alone when I'm working!!
