A Groundhog Day Adventure

Here it is, Godfrey’s day to shine!

Unfortunately, this little groundhog was in for a surprise this morning when he poked his head out of his mound to survey the shadow status. A giant furry beast snagged him!

Fortunately the beast just wanted to play, then go eat some cat food. Godfrey was left unharmed, but after that ordeal he can’t remember if he saw his shadow this morning or not.

Happy Groundhog Day!

Hug-able Plushes Still Available

There are still some plushes available from “Luv-able & Hug-able” at the gallery hanahou online shop! Since we’re starting to get down to the wire, gifting- and especially shipping-wise for the holidays, I thought I’d highlight some of my favorites that still need homes.

The gallery and its online ordering will be closed December 24 – January 3rd.

Also, check out these little interviews with Katie Park, Keighty Paul (aka Keighty Crochet), and me on the CWC-i blog!

Soupy and Nipsey

The kittens have names!

The one on the left in the photo above is Soupy, and the one on the right is Nipsey. They are named after Soupy Sales and Nipsey Russell, two of our favorite celebrity players on reruns of Pyramid.

These boys have completely come out of their shells since they arrived last Wednesday, and they have both turned out to be super playful and loving. This post just took me ten times as long to write as it normally would because Nipsey keeps jumping onto my lap and demanding to be petted! I will never get any work done again.

Kittens

It is going to take all my restraint to keep from switching this blog to the all-kitten hour, all the time. These guys are just wonderful. (And pretty easy on the eye, too.) We got them through the SaveKitty Foundation, which is based in Queens.

They need names, but we’re trying to get to know them a little before assigning those. Another excuse for a kitten post when we come up with them!
