Weekend Open Thread

It’s time for the Caturday open thread, and today’s visitor from reader Tara O. could use some cheering up:

Ginko has lots of sads right now. Hisย brother from another mother had to be helped over the rainbow bridge recently, and a week later his mommy had to go out of town. So I’m watching him and spending time with him. His fur is super soft, and those whiskers! Such a sweet boy. Please send him lots of loves.ย

    What a beautiful boy! I bet he’s a proper love sponge!

    Oh Ginko please don’t be sad. Your hooman loves you and you have a flip-flop for a bed! You go sweetheart!

    Sorry for both of you about his brother. He’s soo handsome, his fur looks like velvet. And those are some impressive wackadoodle whiskers. Sending ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜ from SoCal, including my crazy hua huas.

    Happy weekend everyone!

    Sending love to Ginko and to his mommy, who probably really hated to leave him right now.

    Aw gorgeous Ginko! Thank you all for your kind wishes. He is a sweetheart. His mama is back and he definitely had a few things to say to her but he is thrilled she’s home. Those are my flip flops he claimed. ๐Ÿ™‚
    Happy weekend All!

      I’m glad that Ginko’s mamma is back, poor kitty looked so sad.

        Really.

      So sorry for Ginko and you, Tara. He’s a beautiful boy.

      Love the mood swing halfway.

        Yeah, the pupils give it away.

      Sweet Gracie! She deserves all the chariots with sunshades.

    Happy Caturday, everybody! Hugs and kisses to sweet Ginko.

    I’ve been doing little home improvement projects today, anticipating the big one starting Wednesday. I just get to watch that one, though (once I disconnect plumbing and get everything out of the base cabinets). If I don’t get to sewing or fiber prep or warping the loom this weekend, I’m taking time off for the next two weekends! (Setting up the kitchen after countertops, then time off for my birthday.) It’s so satisfying to finally catch up on some of these small weird projects!

    The new website for work is finally up; http://www.schachtspindle.com if you’re interested.

    Hope you all are well!

      Deb, I went to the web site and I believe I saw a picture of you – if youโ€™re one of the instructors! Iโ€™m going to go back to the site – i just glanced at it and the looms etc look beautiful.

      • DEBG September 2, 2023 / 8:36 pm

        I am one of the instructors! At least I’m not on the home page anymore.

        If you’re ever looking for a loom or a spinning wheel, we make the best ones. They’re not cheap but they’re worth it. (not that I’m biased or anything)

    Anyone else getting double email notifications? I got the ‘confirm subscription’ email twice, and then I’ve gotten every comment notification twice, except one, I think. But it seems to only be this thread; I only got the Maru thread confirmation email once. (And I commented on them both within a few minutes of each other.)
