I’ll take some more pics when the sun decides to come out. In the meantime, I hope @Catmom can share more pics of her lovely quilt!
How about a colorful Hawaiian quilt I'm working on to brighten your Saturday morning? I have one more row to go.
Not jewelry, but my foster babies are 3 weeks old today. Here are kitten photos. I think they are beautiful. 2 of the 5 only, plus no mama in these photos.
Thank you for fostering 
Thanks guys! I don't have a finished pic yet. I have one more block to go then I will have to decide if I want borders or not. Please pardon the sewing mess!
OMG.
I know it’s so challenging, physically and emotionally, when they’re so young. I remember the earliest weeks vividly - feeding every few hours, worrying that they weren’t eliminating properly, stringing backup heat lamps for the backup heat lamps and still having those heart-in-throat moments... The world fell off our shoulders once they could eat by themselves! We were very lucky - they were surrendered to the shelter just a few days after birth in good condition and all three made it.
How long have you been fostering? And how long have you had these darlings? You mentioned mum isn’t in the pics - do you have her? Or are you handrearing? They look plump and bright-eyed - made for magazine
Some ironing bling..coz you know, we all need that lil' bit of kitchen sparkle (and have no where else to go!)
(No jeans were burned in the making of this production.)
Happy to oblige, the shank is 9ct yellow. Let me know if you need a particular angle/view
They are so sweet.
I have been fostering for some time! Last year, I adopted out I think 52 cats and kittens.
Luckily, I have mama to help! Bottle babies are so hard. She's doing a great job. I have had them since they were 7 days old. I have five babies, plus mama, plus 2 four month olds! The two four month olds are at large in my house!
We have a tuxedo in the litter, a dilute calico, a normal calico, a tortie, and a really funny calico that is mostly white but with an orange stripe and black dot on her head.
Mama is a moo kitty and a doll.
And mummy is beautiful!! So glad to hear she's taking good care of them
@Matthews1127 thanks so much. I will do a separate post at some point. I thought I would wait for the matching yellow asscher band to be complete and post them together. In the meantime, I can answer your questions. My ring size is 6.25 to 6.5. This ring is 6.5. I tried on several setting styles and decided to go with the basket which fits pretty true to size. I tried a version that was lower profile with a more cup like setting. It was very comfortable but I was worried about cleaning and blocking the light. In that setting, I would have gone a quarter size smaller for ring size.
The stones are about 4.4 mm each. The width of the ring itself is basically that same measure. I went with a shared claw prong and so far love the look (I have had no prong pick issues). The band width tapers to 3.45 mm at its smallest. The ring sits about 4.25 mm off the top of my finger. The total width of the ring left to right at widest point is 24.6 mm. Keep in mind these are my measurements with calipers. I need to find the CADs. I went with platinum just as personal preference though the one in progress will be 18k to enhance the yellow stone color as much as possible. I always loved the idea of a step cut eternity. After trying on a bunch of styles and weights (both emerald and asscher), I realized a few things. First, a full eternity was not comfortable or practical for me personally. Second, the asschers appealed to me more (though emerald cut is still my favorite shape). In fact that is my 5 year project. I am going to sale my OEC and get what has always been my first love, an emerald cut.
I was picky about the asschers used in my ring but I am 100% sure they are not as fabulous as the ones you have from Yoram. I have been awaiting your ring for many months and can’t wait to see it.
I will post another picture or two soon.
Oh, and here are those yellow asschers in the meantime.
Teeny little claws omg. Absolutely precious, thank you for showing us these babies!!!They are so sweet.

You are a saint @elizat!!
Thank you SO much for the extra photos - they are so, so, so precious
All the shelters around us are no longer accepting surrenders - only intake is for people who have been rendered incapable of caring for their animals due to medical needs (or have passed away). No strays. No voluntary surrenders. Minimal staff plus morons worrying about cv transmission turning their own animals in as "strays".
And of course it's kitten season. I've got boxes, towels, water, bottles, two have-a-heart cages, and wet food in the car (although as of today we've got a stay-at-home mandate...) We get hawks and foxes so I've been doing a daily walk around the property and down the road soon after it gets dark
Do you have homes lined up for all these kittens, and the two four-monthers?
they look athletic - and they also look like they’re probably too clever for your peace of mind I’m sorry to hear about those persistent digestive issues! Our Garett... We call him Super Pooper. Chronic... I sympathise

Hi, Everyone and Good morning.
I’m taking one ring out of the safe each morning and appreciating it all day.
Here’s today’s, an antique moonstone ring from Croatia that I bought last week on eBay as a bling fix.
A few of my favorite things that bring me joy
Edwina on rose gold. This drives me crazy because it is not a proportional match between chain & stone but it was the best I could do today. I do so enjoy having her near my heart.
