More Cat things, this time Book Ends

     As I look back through the records of visits I see that Cat cutting boards was popular.  I can only hope that it is people who love cats and were looking for useful decor items, cat themed.
    Also cats seem to be popular with the Textures Co-op crowd. So  here are the cat book ends, my design and my Mother's painting.  The faces are actual cats and they have given their permission for the commercial use of their images, just in case you were wondering.

 The flash always makes the look slightly stunned.

The latest News

 It has been sometime since this blog has got much attention.  I was on holiday for a week, Spain as you could have noted.  There are several listing relating to Spain on the other blog.
                                                    
     There is nothing going on in my work shop right now.   For the next couple of weeks the shop is just a jumble of stuff piled high as the other side of the basement gets finished.  We have hired a contractor to put up drywall on the walls and ceiling to clean up the family room side of our basement.  Drywall is one of those things that are heavy, awkward and unpleasant.  After some consideration we decided to hire that work in, instead of doing it our selves, (and hating the whole experience).


   When the drywall is done we'll paint and the plan is an epoxy floor.  Once that is done we'll move back into the living space and out of the shop.  I guess I will spend the time working on the yard and trying to bring order to the garage, (a never ending battle it seems).


   I had planned to include photos showing the piled up chaos in the shop but decided that was too depressing.


   So I am including a photo that is not depressing.

He is bigger and older but just a cute.

Spain

This last week was spend in Barcelona Spain.  Eva and I flew into the airport on Sunday last.  A travel tip, arrive in Spain on Sunday, the airport was practically empty.  Barcelona is an old style city were people take Sunday off to be with their kids and that seems to extend to flying out and in to the country.
   Architecture is the claim to fame of Barcelona. Barcelona is a beautiful city filled with interesting  buildings both great and small.  
  I am working from my net book and the software is not loading photos but shortly I will include a series of highlights.
   Barcelona is the most foreign city I have ever visited and so the most challanging.
   More to come, when I get home tomorrow.
