WOYWW 27.10

   
Hi WOYWWers

I can't believe that it's Wednesday again already - where does the time go? 

Anyway, my workspace is still piled up with stash, so I'm crafting on the dining table.

I will get my space sorted soon, but whenever I think about it I decide to use my stash instead of sort it LOL!!!

For those who missed Thomas and Pablo last week - here's a few piccies to keep you happy. 

Now that winter is upon us, I decided to treat my boys to a new cat bed that hangs on the radiator.  They have both tried it out, and seem very appreciative!!!

As you can see it really is a "one at a time bed" - there is no way they are both going to fit in it together, but I'm sure they will give it a try before long - let's hope the radiator can take the weight!!!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by, don't forget to pay Julia a visit over at The Stamping Ground for a full list of brave WOYWWers!!!
