Meet Amelia

So another feline has found there way into our home. Actually, it's more like I needed another cat and she happened to be the one who picked me, in a matter of speaking. Regardless, this is Amelia Earhart, maybe not world traveled but from a neighboring county. I began my quest shortly after Alexander Hamilton decided he should return to his original home (that's what I'm telling myself) and bid us a fond farewell.

Amelia was placed into a drop box at a nearby shelter on Thanksgiving day. Not a great way to begin a holiday devoted to thankfulness.  I found her on a website and decided to go check her out.

With so many felines to choose from and not knowing her from anything other than a picture once might assume I would have a difficult time making a decision. NOPE. She was definitely the one for me. She was very friendly, a much needed change from the "others", no offense kids and she was starved for affection. Not that most all of the captives aren't in that sort of environment. A little background on the way animals are acquired in our house. It's always a covert operation carried out by myself and one never knows when a mission will surface. This wasn't any different.

The only reason I think this went as smoothly as it did was because Jacob decided to ask his girlfriend to marry him. Needless to say, a kitten served little more than a distraction and not so much an issue.

Apparently Margarite needed her more than we did. She thinks she has a new baby! So even though this isn't a craft post per se, it was definitely a work of craftiness. If you are finding yourself needing something a little more inspiring might I suggest this video gallery on Sakura's website. Happy "crafting".
