Last week, I was able to complete the twenty patches in White Angel - which is half of the number needed for the blanket - and all thirteen patches of Aqua. I'm currently working on getting ten more patches in White Angel completed before I move on to Duckie. Currently I have three out of ten patches completed.

Reflection:
Sorry it's been a while since I've updated. Last week I was on break all week for Thanksgiving but time got away from me - mainly because I was finally able to spend some quality time with my husband. Wednesday I made pumpkin cookies and attempted to make this Williams Sonoma molded cranberry sauce (because I have that Williams Sonoma cranberry sauce mold). The recipe is delicious but when I attempted to un-mold it, it went splat all over a plate. My husband managed to take a very funny picture of this happening. If I remember, I'll try to post the picture later.
Kitten Update! It seems that we've been adopted by our neighborhood kittens. Oliver and Skittles sleep on an old cat bed we've cleaned off and Huckleberry sleeps on the chair that my husband placed on the porch for me. As I'm getting on in my pregnancy (thirty weeks now), it's getting harder for me to crouch down for long periods of time and the porch step is just a hair too low for me to sit upon comfortably. He put the chair out there for me so I could pet my adopted brood.
In the mornings, I peek out the window to see if the kittens are awake yet. Most of the time, they hear me and suddenly I have two faces - Skittles and Oliver - staring at me from their spot in front of the front step. I'll open the door and they'll meow pitifully until I open the screen door to bring them their breakfast. Huckleberry, alerted by his siblings' diligence at the door, will have run off by the time I step outside to fill the food and water bowl. He always comes back, though, waiting for me to finish up so he can have some food too.
Skittles allowed me to start petting her last week! She likes to be petted around her face and ears the most. She turns quickly when you pet down her back, looking to nuzzle against your hand again. She's even started rubbing against my legs like Oliver does and I've had her in my lap once. Now if only we could convince Huckleberry to warm up to us...
That's about all I have to share right now. Look for a belated "I'm thankful for..." update on Friday!
