I just realized what the Closet Historian reminds me of: she’s like the Bob Ross of sewing. Instead of adding “happy little trees,” she adds “happy little darts.” At least in my head, I will hear her say that.

The more kittens the merrier is the attitude I like to hear! 😁 Kittens are amazing balls of energy.

So I watched goodfellas for the first time recently, and you are giving vague gangsters wife on vacation vibes. Exactly the same as regular vacation vibes, but with a lil bit of danger

"in my world, the more kittens the merrier." can't agree more! we must live in the same world :D

"My body is never straight - happy Pride everyone!" Same and also ❤ 😅

That would have been a rather saucy outfit back in the 40's. The kittens were quite adorable, they look like they are going to be a mischievous addition to your family. Thanks for the video.

your new kittens are adorable. I don;t think I could live without the company of kitty cats.

I love the story of the kittens. Long ago, my mother's dog died. A month later, my mother told me that the house was too quiet. We found a puppy that needed a home from a breeder (note I now adopt rescues only, but not then). We visited the puppy and agreed to take her. A few days, the breeder called to mention another puppy, a half-sister of the first. My mother wanted to go see her; all the way there we talked about how she shouldn't adopt 2 dogs. Well, one look at this new puppy, after she was placed in my mother's lap, Mama said, "of course, we want her". and that was that. I wish you all the best with the new babies. Wonderful!

What a lovely set! Just as an aside, our four cats range in age from three to sixteen and we still always have toys all over the floor. Haven't ever convinced a kitty to pick up the toys and put them back in the baskets So before guests come over we do what we call the "Field Mice Bop" in which we scurry around the house scooping up all the mouse toys (yes, that was a reference to Little Bunny Foo Foo). They do, of course, have great fun pulling the toys back out of the baskets and strewing them about the house after guests leave . Enjoy your babies!

Pipe cleaners are an excellent cat toy! I coil it around my finger so it looks like a spring and it bounces around all different ways and they love it!

You were speaking about your kittens, and, your past cats, I got a little sad but my hero of cat town the cat we call Jayne was sleeping next to me. I started petting him and he became the little needy man who wanted all the pets, and wasn’t afraid to head butt me to get them. It became an impromptu cuddle time with my adult cat. Who has been feeling a little neglected since the kitten that appeared into the backyard became the 3rd cat in our house. Beautiful set. I must rewatch because I was distracted by Jayne for more than half. Enjoy your kitten time.

When I buy a new iron, my main goal is to get the longest cord. That extra foot matters when you are ironing a giant quilt top :) my favorite part of kittens is the day they get too heavy to defy gravity while running up your leg and they dig in with those kitten claws. In my experience, it was usually during shorts season :( Smashing outfit! I hope you get to wear it somewhere fun 🤞🤞🤞

I'm so glad you got kittens!

As soon as you mentioned 'kittens'...I had to stop watching this video and went to look at the video ofthem. They are adorable and I love them. But I came right back and finished watching here. Don't know how I missed their video, but glad you shared. Hope they bring you loads of joy and kitty love, and hope to see more of them here. PS. Maybe an embriodered kitty brooh???Pleeeeasssee😍😍😍

Hearing you talk about your kitty's was so wholesome ❤️ sorry to hear about the loss of your first fur baby's. But 3 kittens, Omg you and your family will have your hands full. I worked for a chelter for cats once and had 14 kitten to foster 😬😺 kept one and the rest got to go to lovely homes❤️😻. Loved the video! Love from the Netherlands

Very cute set. I'd wear that in black on black rose print in a second. Completely understand about photos of your babies. I lost mine 7 months and 1 day apart from each other - first my kitty 4 June, 2020 and then my doggy 5 January, 2021. Absolutely destroyed me and I still cry for them. Looking at their photos is incredibly difficult and I often just can't. I can't imagine having more babies because I know I can't handle that loss again. I'm so glad you were able to take your 3 precious kitties in and love them.

Excellent. And happy pride to everyone. And kittens are always the best !!!

this is such a cute set! my first iron was a hand-me-down from my grandma, and it came from a time when they did not have auto shut off. boy, do i regret getting rid of that iron, and not cherishing the hassle-free time that it gave me.

We had a kitten pass recently, the first my son has been old enough to consider and I was a wreck trying to discuss death in an age appropriate way while crying because I loved that little dude. I've always been surrounded by cats and it never gets any easier. We settled on snuggling the kitties who are still here when we feel sad about the one we miss, so the original love can grow and be shared.

Looking forward to using all your tutorials on myself. Many THX

I, too, purchased a CHI iron and shortly after I started using it, it started to leak when it was sitting unused. I watched the video by Just Get It Done Quilts on "8 Ways to Prevent Water Leaking From Your Steam Iron". After following her suggestions, my iron no longer leaks! I highly suggest you watch her video when you get a chance---it has a lot of useful information in it.

Haha I make the same joke whenever I park wonky, I think 'it's not very straight but neither am I'

I could just sit and watch you sew on that antique machine. I learned to sew on my mom's 1953 Singer (it was the first gift Dad gave her after they married) and watching you brings back wonderful memories of watching her sew.

I’ve been away from KZread for a bit but oh gosh I miss your tutorials!! They’re so easy to follow! I hope I find the right fabric to make this before summer ends!!!
