I had a great day yesterday getting some loose ends tied up- an extra day off can be really good for that.
The biggest accomplishment was taking some time to finish the binding on my quilt that I started with Leya a hundred years ago. She finished hers while mine sat in a sad little pile.
Instead of a traditional quilt pattern, I just collaged a lot of fabrics I had sitting around at home- many are upholstery samples my aunt has given me. Although it's certainly a heavy-duty quilt, it's not ridiculous. I tried to balance the heavier fabrics with some lighter ones (both in tone and weight) as best I could with my scraps. It was good to use some fabric that had been sitting around.
As you can see, Petey likes to lay his paws on it, just like everything else that touches the sofa for a mere 30 seconds. I noticed when I took the photo how I never notice the bars on the windows anymore. When Mr. D's mom was visiting from Indiana recently, she was a little taken aback. Funny how you just get used to things like that.

That's beautiful! I am really into greys lately (it is grey, isn't it?) but they are so hard to come by.
And I totally know what you mean about your kitty. My cat likes to sit on anything on the floor. Even if it's just a single piece of paper.
I love it!! :)
