As you may be aware last November we welcomed two and then two more kittens into our house bringing our total cat population to seven. Yes, it has been ridiculous around here since then. As they were born at my in-laws house to a captured feral cat, we know today is their first birthday. This is what the first two looked like then...all sweetness and light. They have brought love, chaos and two tons of white fur into our lives. The chaos and white fur, I could really do without, but they'd probably be less cuddly bald.
But I digress, to celebrate this rare quadruple birthday I'm doing a quick giveaway for this one of a kind necklace that was created not too long after they arrived. All you need to do to put your hat into the ring is to leave a comment on this post. I'll pick a winner on Monday by random number generator to give everyone more time to enter to win. If I get more than 50 entries I'll add a second more awesome secret prize.
I'll just leave you this morning with a picture of three of the four much larger kittens now since I couldn't get them to pose all together and I wish you much luck in the random drawing.
EDIT: The second prize has been added to the mix, one pair of
In Bloom Ankle Corsets will go to a second winner!

As you know I dearly love seeing your lovely kitties.
Count me in!
You know I'm in on anything you make!!!

I would like to be entered in the drawing. We adopted 4 cats from the same mom, but they were only 5 weeks old at the time. I hear you on the chaos!

Happy Birthday Kitties!
Happy Birthday to your beautiful bundles of fur! What an adventure it must be with FOUR kitties living together. Hugs & kitty belly rubs,

Love the kitten's. We had a stray cat who had Kitten in our gurage. I did fine home's for all of them and we kept one who think she has to be with me all of the time. Lays on the computer desk with here head on the computer mouse. That makes two cats and a dog in the house. Please count me in.
Happy Birthday to the kittens and good on you adopting them/keeping up with all that flying fur! No wonder you mention cleaning quite often. :) The necklace is gorgeous, but then I love everything you tat.
Cute kitties and lovely necklace.
I'd love to see your tatting "in person!" Thanks!
Fox : )
p.s. My one kitty is all I can handle! You are brave!
I would love to have one of your master piece for free!!!!!
I would love to win this! Love your contrasting cats. We have two "shop" cats that came from a feral mother, and they are the sweetest.
Lovely pictures! I love white cats, two years ago one found its way into our home, and she brings us lots of joy, hairs, and two kittens...
Happy Birthday to the sweet kitties - I am down to one cat living with us - he is 19 and diabetic but doing pretty good - the love goes both ways - count me in on the giveaway!
OOOoohhh!!! I love your blog and it's finally motivated me to learn needle tatting thanks to your awesome tutorials! I would love to win a creation of yours, you're very inspiring!
Happy Birthday to the kits! And thank you for having a giveaway. Getting presents on other people's birthdays is cool.
Great idea for a give away.....the cats are beautiful....I get way to attached to cats and dogs.....so right now I have none....but I always enjoy seeing picture of yours.
Did the black one turn white? I've never seen such sleek white cats. Pretty cool. Thanks for another giveaway opportunity.
my hat is in this ring! ty for the givaway...
It's very beautiful! :D
I love your crazy bad kitties. What I wouldn't give to have more kittens in my own house (we only have two, sadly). Your tatting is beautiful.
Your kitties always make me miss my kitty, so cute.
There can never be too many kitty pics! And these are adorable.
Happy Kitty Birthday! Our two cats are re-homed kitties so we don't know when they were born. I'd love to be in the giveaway draw.
I love seeing your kitty pictures!!!
I love them ... but never see cats so white... I have one but is ginger... by the way I try some tatting but I get stuck at some point... your amazing ...
Count me in, please! Happy birthday to the kitties.
Happy birthday to the pretty kitties! Lovely necklace.
Please count me in!!! I hope the kitties have a good birthday!!
Kelly
Please throw my name into the hat! And I am allergic to cats, so I love your photos and stories (they let me live vicariously the dream of having kittens!)
The phrase "herding cats" comes to mind. The 3 looked great together! You do such beautiful work, I would love to see it up close (hint, hint). Besides, tomorrow is my birthday. :)
Please add me :) Thank you !
Gorgeous. Adorable kitties too :)
Your cats are so beautiful. I have also one year old cat:)
Of course I would like to win:)
Hi Jane,
Ooooh, having one of your creations would be Sooooo nice. However, win it or not, you are one of my blessings. You have taught me so much on my needle tatting experience and I want to take this opportunity to say thank you, very much.
Oops! I called you Jane, sorry. Not sure what got into my head. Could it be the kitten fur, Pauline??? Ha ha
You are so prominent in my crafting adventure that even the fur has found it's way here!
Enjoy the day.
Sue
Happy belated birthday to the kitties.
interesting kitties. happy kitty birthday!
Would love to be the winner of your beautiful necklace! Although, I really never win anything, so this is just to say "Happy birthday" kitties! I had three myself before I had my two munchkins. It became too much with two babies, a husband ( who acts like he's a munchkin) and three cats! I just couldn't keep up, so we had to give them away to other good homes. I miss them sooo much! Take care! Good luck everybody!
Oh My Gosh!! I love your kitties. Though I would imagine the white fur would get to be a bit much.
I'm totally in :)
I'm glad I have dark cats, I can't imagine that much white fur!
Thank you for this opportunity!
Awww, kittens... They do tend to get bigger, less (or different) cute, and shed a lot more than when they are wee and adorbz... but we still consider them our kittens and love them all the same.
I'd love to win this. Though if I don't, I may use this piece as inspiration to make a black and metal necklace of my own. =P
Oh, I'd love to win some of your beautiful work! Please put me in the drawing!!!!
How wonderful that you were able to add some felines to your household. I, too, took in a mostly-white, somewhat-feral kitten two years ago, though I have two older kitties who weren't happy at first. Fizzgig sheds everywhere and climbs into bags, boxes, hampers to curl up and nap, and insists on being cuddled whenever I'm in the bathroom, then starts chewing on my hands... and I wouldn't change a thing. :)
Hi! Please put me in the drawing! If I don't get picked, may I have a little white kitty instead?
Happy (belated) kitty birthdays! Would love to be included in the contest, and figured then this was a good time to mention:
I've been playing with tatting for just over a year now thanks to your blog (taught myself from your flower motif video!), and am getting pretty confident with it. I am currently designing a tatted table runner to make for my parents' ENORMOUS dining room table! Because even though it'll probably take approximately the rest of my life to make, I enjoy tatting that much :) Thanks!
I want to be in too!!!
Thanks for being so generous!
I'm in!
very nice! :D
Awesome! Such cute kitties! >^_^<
Four kitties and you still manage to manage the thread :)
I'd like to win. I love your ankle corsets! (and happy birthday to the fur-babies!)
beautiful kitties! beautiful jewelry too!
Beautiful work, keep it up!!!!!
Your kitties are cute.
I love all the pretty cats! I love your work even more?
Happy quadruple kitty birthday!
Kitties always catch my eye! Count me in!
They all look so adorable; I can only imagine the chaos 7 cats would bring to a house though... <3 Happy Birthday to the kitties!
Count me in!
Happy birthday, little kitties! I have two cats myself, the oldest will be 19 this week.
Happy birthday, pretty kitties! :-) Seems like September is a popular month for birthdays... ;-)
Okay, okay, now I'm going to click send, go pray to the tatting gods and finish packing for vacation... :-)
-Stephanie Grace
those are hot!!!
I'm in! Those kittens are gorgeous, and so is your work :)
Happy Birthday to the FurBabies from Miss Calli the Kamikazi Cuddler and her doggie minions Lollipop and Bernard.
That's going to be a he'll of a lot if dead mice in a years time! Hope you're not squeamish!
love your work! you're so sweet to do giveaways!
I enjoy your blog and your tatting. I shuttle tat, but you make me want to try with a needle.
Happy Birthday to the kitties. I love seeing your pictures of them - they remind me of two of my own.
The necklace is absolutely beautiful, and I have my fingers crossed to win!!! Thank you for a generous opportunity to win such a lovely piece.
Aww, kitty ears are so cute. And the ones you make on the headband are nice to. Hee hee
You do come up with some unique ideas. Such fun!
Great blog, I learned needle tatting about 10 yrs ago and then while moving I couldn't locate my materials. I finally foun them now I'm going to get back into it, I have forgotten a lot of the stitches, but now that I found your blog, I' relearn them.
Cute kitties! How in the world can you come up with this stuff! Amazing!
You are the reason my boyfriend and I decided to learn how to tat. Your designs and style give a little edge to the craft and really inspired us to make our own gothy items. Thank you!
I love that ankle design. I often wear high heels and that is a perfect way to spruce up black shoes. Wow!!!
cute kitties!
Cats are the best <3 happy birthday, kitties!
I would love to win, I keep one of your cats pics as a desktop background.
I would like to be entered in the drawing too.
Thanks so much for taking the kittens in. A lot of people are willing to let them fend for themselves, it's always wonderful to see people who step up!
Beautiful kitties, and I LOVE the ankle corsets!!!
Wow - how generous of you. All of your designs are exquisite
Your kitties are absolutely beautiful!! Seeing your work on Etsy is what inspired me to buy tatting needles and begin to teach myself to tat. I hope to become half as good as you are. :o)
The more the merrier, right? lol I have a tuxedo that just celebrated his 11th birthday on the 25th of August. He's diabetic and lives in his own room now, but for many, maaany years my fuzzbutt had command of the haus and demonstrated the uniquely annoying tux ability of being "black on white things and white on black things" (and grey on anything in between) I love him to death but I will never get all the little white hairs off my black clothes! lol Happy birthday to your babies!
Such beautiful babies! I have two Maltese fur babies myself, and am anxious to add another. They bring such joy with their chaos!
The necklace and ankle corsets are beautiful, and I would love to add either to my TotusMel collection!
OOH! how beautiful, i would love to win anything you made, it's all so pretty and unique :D And a happy birthday to your adorable babies <3 I celebrate my kitties birthdays too
Happy Birthday Kitties!!
How do you keep all those pretty kitty hairs off your work? I've always loved having kitties around to warm my lap while I craft or read. It was your amazing work that inspired me to try my hand at tatting...THANKS! I just love it. I'm not nearly as clever or creative as you are, but it's great fun.
Happy Birthday, Kitty!
And you know how I love your ankle corsets!
I'd love to win! happy birthday kitties!
I would love a pair of ankle corsets!! I think they are great!
How adorable! And the kittehs are kawaii too ^_^
I am soooo glad I caught this!!! Please add me to your drawing! I'm drooling over the anklets... ; )

I've admired your work for so long! Absolutely, mind-blowing-ly (not technically a word, I know) beautiful.
Guess if you need another entry to make it legal to add another prize, you can put me down for it. Don't think I would wear them, but sure would be a nice present for daughter. Always interesting to read your blog. Thanks - Robert, in northern Iowa.
such lovely kitties! i am such a sucker for cat photos..
happy birthday cats!
An awesome giveaway!
