Well, after having this featherbed quilt-thing for at least two years (a gift from my mother), we finally got around to getting a duvet for it. As proof-positive, here are pics.
The new duvet is that purple thing, layered underneath the quilt. The yellow sheets are this year's Xmas present from my mom. Nabiki and Cthulhu decided to show up for the picture.
Here is a close of of the cat duvet. As you can see, while it looks plain purple, it is actually striped.
And the quilt we have with it. It's so fugly that it's cute, ne? We inherited it from my grandmother when she passed away a couple of years ago. Bob really likes it.
Speaking of Bob, here is a shot of him ignoring me while he plays a video game on TV. The game, for those curious, is The Eye of Judgement.
And my usual reaction to his silliness--BLOCK THE TV!!! Bwah-ha-ha!
On orders from my mother, here are pictures of our new Xmas tree that we finally got around to putting up today. We now have an abundance of Xmas trees (two of which were gifts), but we just put up the one this year, partly from the lack of ornaments that we own, and partly because by the time we cleared the dining room and put up this monster tree, we were both exhausted! So here it is, in all its glory. (PS: You can click on the pictures to make them larger.)
And from the right side. This side holds our "old-fashioned" ornaments, many of which are from my childhood.
Yes, those are plushies on the tree. Our decorations are a bit on the unusual side. Besides, where else are we going to put them?
We left the bottom of the tree bare, because of our three pesky kitties, who like to knock down ornaments and smash them. We did hang a few bells from the lower branches to warn us when the cats were messing with the branches!
And what is a tree without a angel on top? I'm very fond of this one, which we picked up at an after-Xmas sale some 8 or 9 years ago, back when we lived in Des Moines. She even color-coordinates with the curtains!
