Work Done Today on NYP; Henry Back to Vets!

I had fun today at home at my sewing machine working on my NYP! Sewing words free motion style on silk from India!A pasha from the Hebrew Bible on cotton cloth on silk on linen. Thread painting a butterfly on muslin with silk bits and purple thread.
Almost done with this part of the process...
I love the way the silk circles pop up when sewn around.
******* Henry V came in limping this morning.
Put him immediately in his carrier and took him to the vet to get checked out.
All the vets were in the parking lot???
Turns out the business had been robbed the night before...so glad I didn't call first
as they may have turned me away. All their computers were stolen, stuff all over the floor...
But the vets took pity on me and Henry and agreed to examine him.
No broken bones found. In fact he stopped limping in the office.
Vet said he was masking it like a animal in the wild protecting itself from predators.
She decided it might well be a pulled muscle and put him on bed rest for two days.
Henry agreed and slept all day long in the art studio
while I was busy at my sewing machine.
Hopefully he'll feel better in the morning. He did continue to limp once home again.

  3. Oh, my heart goes out to Henry!!! He looks just like my cat, Baby! Here are some older pics I had put on the blog of My BABY cat. Yes, he is a boy named Baby! LOL! My dtr. named him when she was young...she wanted a girl, but got a boy!!!

    Hope Henry feels better soon, gosh darn it!

    Your sewing is so beautiful. The words you sewed makes me think of these large panels hanging from a new church I have been attending, where they all hang straight down with different words like this and they are all done completely in felt! The church feels so warm and has such a homey feel to it, and a large part of it is due to these felt words! Yours look awesome!!!

  4. WOW..Your NYP is coming along nicely. I love what you are doing. That butterfly is awesome. The thread painting seems to go so well with her lush material and yet be Artsy too. Poor Henry. Hope he gets to doing better soon.

  8. It is always scary when our pets are not well, I just know Henry will be just fine. And from one chicken to another, I am not a good patient. If it hurts, it hurts...not a good fun thing!
    I can't say enough about your thread art...so amazing!

    Have a great weekend,
    Mary

  9. is he on metacam? sometimes they feel so good that they do get a bit overactive and reinjure themselves. Bedrest is good, especially for a cat, hahameow

  14. I love your words sown on the silk. One day I will definitely commission something from you. Henry is hilarious - masking his limp at the vet's office. Ha. Clever cat. Read a few blog posts down - glad your cyst removal went smoothly and all is well.
