Sabbatical

Yes, I’m talking to you.

Winkie’s Easter Outfit

This is a picture of Winkie (aka Annette, but she has is always winking at me, or Fergie, or anyone, so we call her Winkie). Fergie decided to make matching outfits for Winkie and Blondie (picture below). I love it when she decides to make outfits for the dollies, or when she decides to work on her UFO Textile Creations, because it means she is trapped. Trapped on the couch, or the futon, and I can sit right next to her (as you see in the picture above) and purr loudly (as I am doing in the picture above, even though you can’t hear me unless you have Very Good Ears Indeed). Once she gets comfortable, I may even sneak on over to her, push everything to the side and sit in her lap. One thing i don’t do is play with the yarn. That just doesn’t work out well for either of us. In general, though, it is good for all when Fergie is crocheting.

What’s not so great for me, the CFO, is when she is making soap. Or lotions. Or liniments. Or canning confections. Because those things mean bleach and hot water and sterilized surfaces and containers, and do not allow for kitty cuddling. And as we all know, kitty cuddling is the number one priority for all kitty staff.

Which brings us to the point of this here post. Took me a while to get to it, didn’t I? Well, Cat’s prerogative. The point, was, right, oh! Yes. Sabbatical. Fergie is taking a bit of a VFP Web Sabbatical. She’ll be doing some intensive language studying and so there will be no etsy shop sales, or any market sales, or any making of things, for most of May and June. When she comes out of the hidden intensive language program, she will be yapping at me in yet another language which means nothing to me, but it entertains her. She may have all sorts of neat new names and inspirations for dolls and soaps and pamper products and tea pots! We’ll see.

She may just be exhausted. Which works out for kitty cuddling, so it’s fine with me.
