So I've just managed to get to her computer while she's not looking and have hacked in to her blog to get my point accross, (For some reason humans can use a keyboard with their front legs but cats can’t – I don’t understand why, when we are far more intelligent, so i'm wondering around the keyboard with all 4 paws and just hope i am pressing the right buttons so you humans understand what its like to be a cat).One morning, without any warning at all, Pixie and Rich started to dismantle the kitchen (with much banging and swearing). This disturbed my early morning nap. However, I was even more disturbed a little while later when I decided to wander around my estate – they had taken my cat flap away! My own, personal cat flap! Imagine the indignity of a fine and mature cat, in her absolute prime, having to make a graceful exit through a hole in the brickwork. Fortunately, none of the neighbours were watching, so no harm was done to my reputation except for a bit of brick dust on my back which I got Pixie to brush off when I returned home for my late morning nap.I thought that I had them sufficiently well trained to install a brand new state-of-the-art cat flap without delay, but here we are weeks later with nothing more elegant than a ragged hole in the bricks. It is a good job that I am a cat with great patience – a lesser animal would have been off by now!The rest of the kitchen is no better. Rubble everywhere, and Pixie still sitting next to the microwave. Rich has gone back to the comfort of an oil rig in the middle of the Sea and the new kitchen doesn't seem to have even left the factory yet. Unbelievable! I must go and have a lie down. I will write again soon, so watch this space.

A perspective on refitting the kitchen

I think i've had an earthquake!!
I think i've had an earthquake!!
We have low visibility, noise, mess, distruction .......... and builders!!
My house is slowly turning in to a disaster zone .. wait a minute .. it's a disaster zone already!!
We started decorating the bedrooms a couple of months ago so moved everything upstairs in to 1 room, then my bath decided to spring a leak and left a big hole in the kitchen ceiling so we phoned our insurance people and they sent someone round.
A nice man came round a couple of days later and took some samples to test for asbestos .. and guess what .. they came back positive!!
so we've had the whole of our kitchen / dining room ceiling pulled down this morning and are now waiting for a plasterer to come tomorrow so I'm sitting here in the living room squashed up in one corner in between the contents of our kitchen and dining room writing this blog!!
I actually managed to put some more products in my shop this morning while sitting on top of a chip pan and coffee maker so i'm happy I could still do some work!
I designed this picture about a year ago and think it looks great on all of the products in my shop.
Its a purple and black fractal design that I created using a photograph and has a gothic / celtic feeling with the swirls circling the heart in the center.
Heres a few item with this design printed on, if you click on the links underneath the picture it will take you to my shop where you can see all the other products with this design and many other designs.
