Well, I’ve been knitting and crocheting for babies.

My BFF is expecting her first grandchild and I am crocheting a little cowboy outfit. One of those cute little photo prop outfits. Hat, boots and diaper cover.

There are 5 or 6 couples in my church expecting also so I’ve been knitting snuggle sacks and hats and bonnets.

These are all pre-corona pregnancies. I am wondering if there will be a baby boomlet from the lockdown.

We’ve had some interesting “cat” adventures lately - a relative “escaped” NYC after weeks of what amounts to house arrest (aka “quarantine”) with her cat (will be a year old in a month or so). He’s a great cat, friendly & affectionate, energetic, curious about everything, but is now in a place with an older cat ... he’s in the process of learning to ‘respect’ his elders. It’s been two-cat chaos, but the situation is improving. BTW, the relative promptly took a COVID test in her new surroundings/state & is negative (big relief).

So I saw this link and thought other cat lovers might be interested - there are more links at this link, too:

A while back, I think you posted an image with crocheted lamp shades. Here’s another idea; you just need a good lampshade, lots of scrap yarn and trim, and some free-hand genius:
