A little Help in the Craft Room is (almost) Always Welcome

Dakota, a little kitty I am trying to make into a house kitty,  has been helping me out in my craft room.   When I say I'm trying to make him a house kitty,  Dakota is having No trouble being a house kitty, the girls, Ella and Lily have no trouble having a little brother in the house and I have no problem with him inside.  Daddy is the one who says no cats in the house--but knowing he is easily persuaded, (who can resist a cute kitty), I have no doubt it's just a matter of time and he will be a full time house kitty!  I have had many cats inside in my life.  He is litter trained, since he and his sister have been kept in our huge, now heated garage since they were little.  It has been a continuing saga since they were very little and one night, I heard Dakota screaming outside. We live on a farm and have many farm cats and visiting cats and kittens--well--you know the ferral cat story.  Most are very wild, but come each day at feeding times.  Kittens rarely make it with all the coons and coyotes and huge male cats around.  But Dakota and his sister Delia were adorable with big blue eyes and I was actually able to catch and tame them down.  Back to my story.  When I heard Dakota scream out, (I was home alone, Danny was OOT)., I jumped up, flipped outside lights on and ran to the door.  Delia was right there and ran and hid, but I noticed Dakota drop from a near by tree--he ran right to me--and 2 coons jumped from the same tree and ran off.   Apparently, they had grabbed him by his back leg and ran up the tree with him.  I scared them and they dropped him.  Hence, I kept them in the garage at night from then on.  His little back leg suffered some damage, and he still limps on it, but is not in any pain and can now climb and run like a normal cat.   Recently, during the day when they were outside, Delia disappeared.  No clue what happened, but now Dakota is an orphan and the cold really makes him limp more, so He stays in the garage at night (heated) and when I'm home in the house.
He's a fast learner and no doubt will make a great keeper of the scrapbooking supplies!  He is fascinated with  my Big Shot.  Loves to twirl the handle.
He makes sure the project is ready to cut---
That was until he spotted the ink and blending tool.  All kinds of possibilities here!
Then there was the washi tape!  Who can resist a good roll of washi tape!
It rolls all over.  You can bat it everywhere-all over mommy's table!
It's hard watching a roll of washi tape AND working with the Big Shot!
Got a good grip on it now.  Maybe I could put the washi tape on or under the Big Shot.
Darn stuff just keeps getting away from me!
Then there's little jars of Silks (paint).  It matches the blender!  and it Rolls around the table, too!
And don't forget those tiny scraps.  Endless hours of batting fun.  I don't know how mommy gets anything done with so many fun things and ME to play with.   I'm sure I will have to help her some more.  Endless kitty possibilities!  Endless!



HAVE A CRAFTY DAY,  NO MATTER WHO YOU'RE CRAFTING WITH!
