I am off to Windsor tomorrow to lecture and teach my very first hosta class. At the moment I am in a panic because the only fusible web currently available with pressure-sensitive adhesive keeps changing its mind about which backing paper comes off easiest. At certain points in the roll, the parchment comes off easier, and at other points the freezer-paper type paper comes off easiest. Wednesday`s class will be a challenge, but we`ll do the best we can. When oh when is Steam a Seam coming back? Did I mention that I printed 50 copies of each pattern, folded them, and packaged them, with the instructions based on the parchment coming off easiest? Tonight I am finding the freezer-paper comes off easiest. Grrrrr.
Before I head out, I wanted to finish my posts about Andalucia, Spain. You probably knew this one was coming! I photograph cats wherever I go, and it was not hard to find cats in Andalucia! Sometimes it was hard to tell whether a group of cats belonged to a feral colony or to someone`s home. Either way, there are kind people feeding them because most look in good shape. One feral colony even had a spay and neuter program (you could tell by the clip taken out of the ear, to indicate a previous spaying or neutering).
Classic tabbies appeared everywhere, and sporting more orange in their coats than I typically see.
These last three kitties live at Cortijo Valverde, the country hotel we stayed at.

Ms. Twiggy visited our room several times.
I didn't know that so many cats lived so freely in Andalucia. Thanks for posting about them.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know either, but I was happy to see so many looking so well.
DeleteLove the kitties!
ReplyDeleteEmpathizing with you on the fusible issue. In the past few months I've had similar problems...never knowing what's going to work best next -- or if I can paint it and get texture (yes!) or not and get a plastic mess (no!)...but at least I don't have to teach classes with it! I am sure your group will be understanding, and everyone will come away having learned a little something. Best of luck!
Yes, the group was very understanding Margaret. We managed, with a few wrinkles!
DeleteI never tire of seeing these furry friends!
ReplyDeleteMe either Martha!
DeleteGreat photos, Elaine! Reminds me of the cats in the famous cemetery in Paris.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy. Here in Ottawa, we used to have a feral colony of cats living on the bluffs next to Parliament Hill. They were called The Parliament Hill Cats. Several seniors over the years took care of them, and a veterinarian provided medical care, neutering and spaying. Fortunately, due to the latter, the last couple cats were taken into a home this past year and the colony no longer exists. I is very cold on the bluffs of Parliament Hill in winter!
DeleteLOVE the paws! Especially the black and white one. Thanks for posting.
