What do you think? I’ve added one of Betty’s pincushions. There will be more updates on this little rocker, of that you may be sure.
I’m in the middle of preparations for my trip to Florida on Wednesday morning. Didn’t I just get back home? This will be a much-needed visit with my parents and sister, brother-in-law and nephews. I especially need to see my Mom and give her some big hugs.
Look what I saw when I opened the side door just now:
A caterpillar in the most brilliant shade of yellow. I had to make sure Riley didn’t step on it while coming back in the house! What will this transform into, I wonder? Note: I just did some research and it will turn into an American Dagger Moth. They like Maple trees – and we have a lot of them.
Have a great Monday.
Claudia that is the prettiest caterpillar!
Have a wonderful trip to Florida. It is so hard to be far away from our close family members. My family are all in Florida. My Dad is very ill as well and I feel terrible since I can’t do more to help with his care. Sigh.
Blessings, ~Melissa :)
Enjoy your stay in Florida. I dislike traveling, but sometimes it’s necessary when it comes to family.
And HELLO to Mr. Dagger Moth!

Have a wonderful trip! So glad you caught a pic of that amazingly colored caterpillar.
What a beautiful yellow! You know how much I love the color of sunshine. Betty does makes the loveliest pincushions, doesn’t she? She’s ever so talented. Be safe, my friend, till we talk again.

What a gorgeous caterpiller. Your chair wih pincushion is so sweet. have a terrific time with your Mom and family. hugs♥olive
travel safely Claudia! I think the pincushion is adorable in your little chair!!
BLIMEY!! That’s one yellow caterpillar. He looks like he could do double duty and maybe wiggle along the track of a patio door and clean out the collection that always gathers (in mine, anyhow)..very cool.
You DID just get home, my dear and I am so sure it’s hard to leave your cottage and lovies again. But you mission is a good one and you will be so happy you did it. Safe journey.

Claudia,
I adore your big pincushion ! . ! . !
Just fits your rocker.
Have a great holiday with your Mom and family.
Hugs,

You might want to bring a mask and snorkel. The humidity in FL has been ridiculous lately. I hope you have a good visit with family, especially with your mother.
The color of the caterpillar is striking. I would have grabbed my camera too. Thanks for showing us!
I am completely smitten with your little rocking chair & pin cushion!
My twin brother drove my parents up to visit here at the cottage a couple weeks ago. My dad is about to turn 86, and my mom is 85. I know how you feel about seeing your mom and getting some hugs! Enjoy your trip to Florida with your family, Claudia.
Oh – and I love the colorful little caterpillar – it looks like something Lewis Carroll dreamed up!

Hi Claudia,
That caterpillar would have scared me too death! LOL, and my kitties would have gone crazy!
Love that pin cushion and it’s perfect in the little blue chair.
hugs

Hi and welcome home! I have been overwhelmed and have been undervisiting blog friends lately. Love the chair and pin cushion.
Know you are thrilled to be home. That caterpillar is a gift from heaven! Thrilling.
love, kelee
Cute little pincushion!! My daughter is in Florida visiting my sister and her family right now. They have had rain for several days because of the tropical depression and are hoping that it will stop tomorrow.
Hi Claudia, what an interesting color for a caterpillar – it almost looks like it would glow in the dark! Have a wonderful trip to visit your family – I know how much you’ve wanted to get down to see your mom. That little blue chair is looking more precious every time I see it! Ciao, bella!
Have a wonderful trip and visit with your family. That’s an amazing caterpillar. I’ve never seen one that color, maybe because I live in the south without a lot of maple trees.
Darling pin cushion. Have a safe trip!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

what a bright yellow colored caterpiller and that pin cushion is precious.
NICE LOOKING CATAPILLER, MY DAUGHTER OPENED THE SIDE DOOR YESTERDAY, AND THERE WERE TWO BLACK SNAKES, I THINK THEY WERE PINE SNAKES.
WHEN THE WEATHER IS SO HOT LIKE THIS THEY WILL CRAWL ON THE CEMENT PATIO LOOKING FOR WATER. HOPE THEY DON’T COME BACK.
Oh my goodness…look at my pincushion in your little chair! What a sweet surprise as I’m sure that caterpillar was. I can’t believe the color!
