Oh, no, DH has many talents. I guess I'll have to start calling him a Cat Magnet instead of Cat Hater. Finn obviously prefers him to me. Finn blew the touch module in my pretty Tiffany style lamp that Ladyhawk bought me to sit on the table next to my recliner, my "crochet/quilt chair", when he jumped up and hit the plug suddenly. So, DH had to do some wiring and fix it because I depend on that lamp daily. Hey, my dogs never did that. Bad kitty.

I made these actual quilted mug mats exclusively for Ladyhawk and Ellie a couple of years ago, the old fashioned way, so they took lots more time than the ones above:
Love the coffee cup and poultry fabrics!
