I got my "official" letter from TNNA today. I have been approved for teaching the two new canvases at the 2011 TNNA in Long Beach, CA: Bird & Worm from Zecca, and Harvest Fairy from Melissa Shirley Designs. Time to go into warp-drive-stitching! As soon as their photos are posted on the TNNA website, or once Melissa Shirley mentions her new artist, I will be able to mention these canvases with photos. Until then... Mum's the word!
Instead, in my life, there has been Kitten Drama. For all of you new kitten owners: please heed my experience and avoid the consequences. We found a new kitten. We've named him Bailey. We didn't supervise him and he jumped down from too high. He now has a fractured elbow. Bailey is in a body cast/leg cast. We now feed him, give him water, assist him for the bathroom. Pitiful. Pitiful.
Here's a photo of Bailey before his mishap. We named him after Bailey's Irish Cream. We call him Bailey's Wild Irish Kitten.
Well, back to caring for this sweet bundle of kitten; then some stitching when he is sleeping. Thanks, Robin
Robin,
ReplyDeleteHe is precious. And yes, post leaping tall buildings in a single bound, he is pitiful. But he couldn't be in better hands. I wish him a speedy recovery. I wish you a little less kitty drama.
I am so sorry about Bailey, who sure is a cutie pie, even in a cast! I'll bet he heals qickly. I have a little Yorkie who I am constantly afraid is going to jump from too high and hurt himself.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your two new teaching opportunities! A well-deserved honor for you! I'm looking forward to seeing both canvases.Sounds like you have your hands full with little Bailey and what a cute handful he is! Hope he heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Sorry about the poor kitten.
ReplyDeleteRobin, how cute little Bailey is! I have a 9 week old (today) kitten too and he seems to be fearless with his jumps and running. Hopefully he won't end up in a cast too. His name is "Augie" short for Augusta - named for the famous golf course where The Masters is played. We are looking for a sister and she will be named "Pebble" for Pebble Beach golf course. I haven't tempted Augie with thread yet as we have only had him a couple of weeks but I'm hoping to teach him that threads are not toys soon.

Lots of fun here.

ReplyDeleteThanks goodness he has a good Mom and Dad to take care of him. He is so cute.
ReplyDeleteHi Robin,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on stitching two canvases for the TNNA Show in January. I know you are going to do a fabulous job. You are so very talented.
I feel so sorry for Bailey. Hope he has a speedy recovery.
