Sick as a Dog, But Still Hooking a Cat

Hi there everyone!  Welcome to all the new followers joining me in my little blog world.  It's nice to have you along.

I've been really sick the last several days...naturally...it's my spring vacation.  I actually had the same thing over February break.  Apparently, my body has decided that when vacation comes, it's time to let go and take on all the little germs that float through my classroom!  So, after four days of major aches, fever, and killer cough, I'm finally on the Z pack and back on my feet.

I did manage to decide on a border.  I thank everybody who had a suggestion.  There were so many good ideas!  I may have to make more than one cat mat to try them out!  But, as with any home craft...time and supplies tend to dictate where we end up!  I opted for dark brown lines with a bit of color running through in a hit or miss way.  I did use squares with hearts in the corners, using the same orange/red as the  heart in the kitty.  I've got one border and two squares done so far.  I'll post a picture when I get more of it hooked. 

I do have something cool to show you though.

I found this at a favorite antique store last week.
I thought it had possibilities to become a rug design in many ways.  You could play with the size of the sheep and the house, but I especially loved the "Friendsheep". That's what I feel I've found here in blogland...Friendsheep!  ~Or at least friends who like sheep a lot! ;-)
