Yes, Husband and I are smitten with this kitten. We keep asking ourselves what did we do before this little guy came into our lives. We have had cats before, but it's been a while and Husband wasn't as taken with them as he is this one.

Hoppy is so cute.
And, playful.
And, curious.
And, observant.
And, helpful.
And, he likes quilts!
He has claimed this one as his.
I am finding it harder to get anything done with this one around. When I try to knit he wants to play with the yarn or chew on the knitting needles.
If I try to do hand sewing he is after the needle, pins and thread.
Don't worry, I watch him VERY carefully. In this photo, the needle is folded up in layers of the quilt so he can't get to it.
He has figured out how to get on the quilt frames. I really don't like that.
I have unpinned the backing you see here hoping to lessen the temptation. He did try to get up there again from the chair that is at the end on the right (not visible in the photo). He got a good squirt with the water bottle and hasn't tried to get up there again. I am more concerned with this frame because of the computerization.
He mostly lies on the table under the quilt on this frame. I am ok with that. This machine isn't computerized.
I have been able to get a few things done this week.
This scrappy quilt is made with 2-inch squares. It's been approved and is ready to quilt.
Olde Glory mini is quilted, just needs the binding.
I got one scrubby dishcloth made. He was too tired to care.
I even got a little counted cross-stitch done! My mom is going through things at her house deciding what to keep and what to pass on. This is a project that was started many years ago. According to the notes on it, in her handwriting, she intended to stitch it after I got it started. There were two stitches in it when she handed it off to me. I am pretty sure I made those two stitches and she just never had the time to work on it and now she has no desire to. The part I got stitched is circled in red on the pattern picture. This piece is labeled as a bell pull. I will likely frame it if I ever get it done (haha). It is 4 1/2 x 26 inches.
I was able to get that much done because Hoppy got his vaccinations which made him want to sleep and cuddle a lot more than usual.
Stay safe and well.
Happy quilting!

He is SO cute!! I can see where he keeps you busy!! I read somewhere that you could put aluminum foil sheets on counter tops to deter cats/kittens - they supposedly don't like the sound/feel of it when they jump on it. You might try that on your quilt frame - but a water squirt bottle/gun also works - if you can catch him doing it - LOL - ;))
