Isn't that a sweet sight? My girls are buds! They are even napping together!
My camera got dropped so there is now a "spot" in the lower left hand corner. I think the lens got broken :( We can ignore that, right? These kitties are so darn cute! 
Cammy can get up on those chairs all by herself now, so she shares Sassy's favorite napping spot in the afternoon!
Last week I cleaned my sewing room, so I spent some time down there yesterday. The room is actually quite cozy. Other than my sewing table, it looks more like an actual family room. I used the afghan Charlotte made to cover the worn couch cushions.
Most of the time, I prefer to spend my time in the studio alone, but once in a while a little company is fine too.
What prompted my trip to the studio? My dear friend, Winona, sent me 2 books for my birthday. 
HA! My Sassafras loves quilting so much she will even lay on a quilting book!!!!
Both are filled with wonderful projects and I was inspired by the Log Cabin quilts in both books....see that book mark? Winona made that for me! It is GORGEOUS!
So, inspired by these Log Cabins, I decided it was time to start the one I have been planning for 15 years! I got all the centers cut....I went with red for love and warmth...and got the first section sewn on all 100 blocks.
All blocks are pressed and the next sections are cut and waiting to be sewn on....next weekend, or maybe Friday. I was also able to get the next 2 block backgrounds done for Henrietta Whiskers. Blocks 3.....
....and 4....
The applique pieces are all cut for block 3 and ready to stitch during the evening hours.The rest of this week will be very busy preparing for Thanksgiving Day. I will shop tomorrow and Wednesday will be filled with cleaning and cooking. I am sure I won't make it back here until after the holiday, so I will take this opportunity to wish you the happiest of Thanksgivings!!! May the Spirit of Thanksgiving rest on your hearts as you reflect on all the blessings our Heavenly Father has poured out on us!
Blessings~ Bren

Awwww! They love each other! YAY! That didn't take too long at all. :) Such sweet pictures! I love your cozy couch in your work room. Looks so inviting!
Thank you also for your comment on my son's prayer. :)
Bren, I am so glad you like the books. I love all the pictures of your ladies. I knew that Sassy would accept Cammy. I am just glad it happened so quickly. I think cats like companions the same as us humans. (grin) I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.
Happy Thanksgiving!! I'm excited to see how your log cabin quilt looks. I love the colors you've shown so far!
Blogger ate my first comment! Bad, BAD Blogger!
I was saying...
I love seeing your quilting, Bren! It's always so gorgeous!
You know that spot in your photos? You know, the one that's not there? Well, if you start taking all your photos in sepia it will simply add to the vintage feel of them! ;)
Hi Bren
I found your site back in 2008 thru "Organized Home when it was called "Pieces From Me", you were kind enough to share your Home Management Binder, wow it was terrific. Later you switched to a Card system for your housework, as you did not have enough room to have your binder out constantly and using the card system your children could start helping more with chores.
Now I notice you are using once again a Home Management Binder. Does the binder work best for you? Why did you stop using the Cards?
Thanks for any insight you can give. Your home always looks so warm and inviting. You seem to have it all together.
Have a Blessed Holiday Season. And Thanks for the wonderful Blog.
Bernice, you are set to no reply, so I will answer here and hope you check back ;)
I started out using the box back in the 80's and 90's and then moved to the binder. There are things I really like about the box (it's size for one) but I also like the fact that my entire day is on one sheet of paper. So there are things I like about both and I tend to flip flop between the two. Right now I have the smaller binder with just my housekeeping in it.
Thanks for your comment! Do not hesitate to leave any other questions here.
