    Luxie and the Vintage Quilts

    LAST UPDATED: January 17, 2019 PUBLISHED: October 3, 2015 By Pam Greer 46 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    A few photos of our calico kitten, Luxie. 

    Calico kitten

    When the last of our girls moved out, I turned their bedroom into a sewing room.  I left the bed and a chest of drawers, but managed to squeeze most of sewing stuff into the room.   During the summer, I searched through my house looking for a place to set up some lights to do food photography in the winter.  It get's dark way before dinner, and I needed a set up where I could just run in, plop the plate down, turn on some lights, take the photos, and then straight to the dining room.  Again, this sewing/bedroom was the only place with a little open space.

    And by space, I mean that it had the top of a cedar chest that didn't have anything on it.  Trying to find a space in our house that is not already filled, is not an easy task.  You can probably notice that by looking at the backgrounds of these photos.  I am definitely a more is more kind of woman.  You won't see a picture or two hanging on my wall, you see groups of ten to twelve!

    Since I am in here a lot, Luxie has turned it into her room.  During the day, I will frequently come up to find her sleeping on the bed.  She especially loves the vintage quilts in the quilt rack in front of the bed.

    Happy Caturday everyone!

      I need to do something like this. It's hard to find a space with great lighting and a relatively uncluttered background in my house, too!

      Lexie has definitely learned how to pose. I am going to say that she is the most adorable kitten I have ever seen. I honestly say that about every kitten, but she is definitely above all the others. Now, I would describe myself as a more is not enough kind of person. But that is totally a story for another day. Thanks so much for hopping along with us and sharing this precious fur bundle with us. Hugs, Janet and Kitties Blue

      Your kitty is adorable and I did notice the groupings of pictures on the wall- great idea.
