The Catt Box

'Catt's Wish List'

 

Welcome to this strand of my web. This is a list of some of the things that I REALLY want. I will be adding to this list....these things take time to think about. 

 

   I really want to see O.J. get what's coming to him. You know he did it. Don't make me tell you what you'd have to do.

  I would LOVE to have a Hammond B-3 organ with a Leslie speaker.....please, please, please......I used to have one of these years ago, but I had to sell it when we moved here.....I knew I wasn't going to be in another band and didn't think I'd want to have it around.....BIG MISTAKE....now I want another one....very desperately. I miss playing it. 

I got one...I got one!! On Thursday, November 23, 2000, I bought a Hammond organ from eBay

On Saturday, November 25th, my husband and I drove to Flint, Michigan and picked it up ourselves in a rented U-Haul. 

 Here are the pictures of the actual organ I bought. They were taken at the previous owner's house. And it's even bigger and better than the one I originally wanted. I am thrilled with this wish come true!!

   I would love to meet Whisper in person... one day...have coffee and gossip. 

  I finally got to whisper_and_the_catt_.jpg (15777 bytes) meet Whisper on August 25th, 2001...what a thrill that was. We've been internet buddies for almost two years and we finally got to meet! We had a wonderful time together and want to meet again as soon as we can!

  stevie1997.jpg (17845 bytes) I would love to work for Stevie Nicks as a seamstress and designer. And, just for fun, once in a while, I'd love to sing with her and talk. But I really would love to make clothes for her. I design clothes a lot like she wears. And if I can't do any of that, I'd love to at least meet her.

 

   I want to pet a tiger.

  I did it, I did it! While on vacation in September 2000 on Our Big Adventure my ex-husband and I went to catt_and_tiger_1.jpg (24259 bytes)a truck stop that had a road side attraction....tigers...baby Bengal tiger cubs. And I paid a $10 donation and was allowed to get into the pen with it and play with it while they took my picture.

 Les took pictures, too. I had the greatest time. It bit me on the butt...something I was not expecting...and it didn't hurt at all. Of course, this was a baby. I will always treasure this moment. 

   I want the dogs in my neighborhood to stop barking. I want the owners of the barking dogs to be tied to the dog houses and neglected. The first thing that the people do, when they move into their new trailer, is get a dog and chain it up in the back yard, neglect it, and then it never shuts up. I've had enough of the 'Blab-a-dors' and the folks who own them.

    All the noisy, annoying dogs are gone from the neighborhood. We can open our windows now and enjoy the peace and quiet. We can enjoy our deck again. 

  I want to go on another cruise, and this time, not take anyone with Tom and I.

My ex-husband and I have been on two cruises and both times we took friends and family. I just want to go, relax, and not worry about anyone else.

  I would absolutely love to have a Chenille bathrobe, any color, with a 'peacock' on the back of it. I know, I know....they're tacky, but I have wanted one for so long. I remember seeing them all the time when I was little, and now I can't find one. But it has to be a peacock. And I am REALLY  begging for this......if anyone knows where I can get one...please let me know...

I got one, I got one!!!!  

My good friend Chris sent me a beautiful red Chenille Peacock bathrobe in March 2003 for my anniversary. I was sooooo thrilled! It's perfect and I couldn't ask for more. Thank you, Chris....now all I need is the 20 cats and I'm all set.

   For starters, I'd like to know that Osama Bin Laden has been destroyed. I'd also like to see Saddam gone, too.

Things are coming along in this area. At least Saddam's sons are gone and Saddam himself is now dead and buried.

   I really would love to meet my pen pal from South Africa.....Peter Scott. It was thrilling enough to find him after 30 years, but I would dearly love to meet him in person.

  I would really love to make the following things...eventually....

Every year I make a sewing project to enter into the Piedmont Interstate Fair....and I think I have finally decided what next year's entry will be...it's a 27 inch tall Victorian doll. It is a very detailed doll....which I love...and I have already begun work on it....cutting it out. I'll provide up-dates on this project, maybe even raising a page on it....we'll see. Anyway, here are the pattern envelopes of what I need to make...the doll and the clothing.

I am very excited about making this doll, been wanting to do it for years. It's going to take a lot of time...tons of details go into this thing...and you wouldn't believe how much the patterns cost! But it'll be worth it.

Let's drool together on this one.....

These are my dream projects...and I might leave them on this page for inspiration....they will be expensive to make, but one day I will do it.... I will make these 'Scarlet O'Hara' dresses. However, I won't be able to wear them anywhere...so, I decided to make a cloth doll...a huge doll that is 5' 4" tall and wears a size 6 dress. When I make the doll, I will make one of these dresses in a size 6 to fit it and keep it on display. Then, Les and I will make a huge glass showcase for it to be displayed in. And the only room in my house that's big enough to display it in is in my bedroom. Of course, it goes without saying that I will enter this project in the fair.......one day, one day, indeed.
