Renegades, Kitties, and Life In General
Posted by Kate on Tuesday, June 20, 2006Erin of Indian Spring, just posted about how good websites stick to their point and don't go off on tangents. I have found a way around this by making my subject everything that is going on in our lives. Makes sticking to topic pretty easy.
This past Saturday Pat and I went to the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn. It was everything I hoped it would be. So many cool young people selling cool stuff that they made by hand. Cool pocketbooks, bags, t-shirts, pouches, buttons, jewelry, clothes, notecards, journals, fabric, handspun yarn, and more. One person even had stained glass and fused glass. I had read about it on websites like Sewing Stars and coffee-drinker It was great. I am really glad we went. I spent more money than I wanted to, but I got lots of cool stuff. Here is a picture of it, minus the stuff I got as presents for other people.
In other news... I thought I had posted about Zoe's love of her leash and harness before, but I guess I didn't. Whenever I get out Zoe's harness and leash she gets super excited and starts rubbing her head on it and meowing. This is the only reason I take her outside. If she didn't like it so much I wouldn't bother. I am not crazy (just thought I should throw that in there.) I took Moses out a couple times, but he was too afraid of the outdoors to enjoy it.
I just recently bought both of the cats ID tags, but I didn't get collars because I knew I had at least one at home. I had tried to get Moses to wear a collar when he was a kitten, but he hated it. I sorted out the tangle of leashes, harnesses, and collars while Zoe chirped and rubbed her head against it all. I put a loose adjustable collar over Zoe's head. To my surprise she acted like she didn't even know it was on. I took it off her head, but she kept trying to stick her face back into it. She has been wearing it ever since! I have never had a cat wear a collar before. We are still getting used to it. Its like she just decided to wear pants or something, it doesn't look normal to us yet. But hey don't try to take that collar away from her.
I just read this really interesting article. I am not alone, apparently my generation thinks a lot like I do!
Oh and to be totally random- I saw a hummingbird at Kim's yesterday. I think it was the first time I had ever seen one. Her house is like a bird sanctuary.
Okay, I'm done.
