Pick Up Sticks Kitty

We're making Pick Up Sticks games for Christmas by dying sate sticks blue, orange, red and green.

I think I've dyed a thousand of the things, so hopefully we'll get a lot of sets out of it. Then we will give them to our young friends in orphanages and homes as a stocking-filler.

We roadtested the sticks for colour fastness yesterday, and Target got in on the game. We think he could be a champion player!

You may notice I'm messing about with the blog a bit, as is Jett, my neighbour and web designer. It should look better next week.

Congratulation to the publishing of your books ! I read a little about Scoop, I think you will be very successful with this book if it could be published also elsewhere in the world !

Target I think my cats would like to play with you with this game, it looks funny ! I did it with my friends when I was little.
 
Target it looks like you are having fun helping. We wish we could come and play with you.

Glad you like the book, Gattina. It's published in Asia, lets see if others pick it up in Europe...
 
Behold Target, Pick-Up-Stix Quality Control Officer! Thank you, Target, you are such a big help!
 
Ah, we love that game too. In Germany we call it Mikado.
Congrats to your books. It sounds very interesting. Can we buy it in Germany too?

*Happy Tuesday*

Target can't figure what stick to pick first! BOL! Wanna try Rubick's cube next time?

Can't wait for the new look next week!
 
I loved pick-up-sticks when I was a child! What a great idea for a stocking stuffer. And congrats on your two new books!
 
What a kind gesture and so gracious of Target to help out lol. I really enjoyed your taxi cab driver story. Happy COT!
 
So much fun to be had. It is a fun game. Target is so sweet.
I signed up on Facebook, but forgot to send a note saying who I was.

haha he actually seemed to be doing quite well!
 
That looks like fun for the kitty, but I'm not sure he's interested in picking them up so much as in batting them around!
 
Hi, remember playing with sticks

I'm not in the right mood to comment as usual.
You'll understand when reading my COT this week.

Sorry
Tor
 
Target looks as if he is having a great time. I bet he will be a champion!
 
Luna, Luzie and Olli: you can buy Tales online at http://www.lepak.com/katztalesbook.html
 
Looks like Target is having a lot of fun with the pick-up sticks. They do make some interesting patterns if one just lets them fall.

Please do join us for the next Carnival of the Cats. It is open to anyone around the world, the only requirement is that the submitted post be cat-related.
 
Oh I bet Target likes the game! What a great idea for a game! I used to love pick up sticks when I was a young :)
 
You are very talented to be able to play pick up sticks!
 
Hey mikado
That spelletje hebben wij ook!!!
Nee Ellen je blijft altijd onderaan het rijtje staan ik begrijp ook niet waarom....
Maar ik zal het opnieuw proberen.
En proficiat met je boek
groetjes van ons

Great game to make and give as a gift. Target looks so official inspecting your efforts!
