I'm ten days late to the start of the Shop Hop but I will be making up for it over the next few weeks! There are at least a dozen shops that are within a reasonable drive (1 1/2 hours) to snag the shop 'Patch' and enjoy the extras each shop works at providing!
I started this yesterday and will finish the second coat on the grey treads today--oh, yeah, there is a second set of stairs just like this one! Twice the fun! I wore knee pads-a real life saver because you do't get to stand up the whole time you are painting!
I picked up this block to finish it-I have another repeat before I will be adding it to the finished pile!

And I am adding a few blocks a day to the cotton granny square tote project; it is slow going but pleasurable just the same.
I don't have a Friday Feline picture but let me tell you a story;
about 4am I was awakened by a strange cat meow and having said cat run over my body while I was sound asleep was a rather rude awakening! I jumped up and chased it out of my room and met Bill in the middle of the house as he had chased it and lost it in the dark! We turned on lights and chased it outside! This same cat did this several months ago (Bill hosed it and we hadn't seen it again) and it is upsetting to all of us (Bill, me and the 3 girls)!!! Bill has locked the cat doors for the night and hopefully, that will keep him from his nighttime visits. The worst part of his visits.....he is an unneutered male and he sprays-there is no smell quite like it unless you compare him to a skunk!
So needless to say, being awakened with an adrenaline surge and trying to ignore the house stinking...it was hard to get back to sleep!
