Getting Ready For Pessach: Shimshi's Caturday Art and Sunday Selfie

Hallo there, Effurrybuddies!




It's Me again, The Mighty Shimshon (a.k.a. Shimshi), The Little Purrince, Furrst of My Name, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain of the Guard, here to lead My Fellow J-Cats on this weekend's blog hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by the Delightful, and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

It is nearly Pessach (Passover) and so there is a lot of cleaning to be done. In the picture above, I am hard at work on that. But don't go imagining that once I finished, I could just get a bit of shut-eye. Oh no, no indeed. I had to take my turn in snoopervising Mummy while She cleaned the living-room and kitchen.













We made two artifications of each of these pictures - all with the help of LunaPic.

For the furrst picture, of Myself purrforming My Ablutions, We used Grey at 70%:




And then We tried something a bit more colourful - Landscape.  That made it look more like an oil painting, didn't it?





Now, for the picture where I am snoopervising Mummy's Pessach cleaning prepurrations, We used the Dark filter at 65%:














That is kind of repurresentative of Mummy's feelings before  starting work (mol). But now that effurrything is mostly done, her mood is much lighter, so We celebrated by using a new (to Us) artsy-fartsy effect called Adventure, at 55%:














And here are the blog hop badges:


        



Before We go, We want to wish Chag Sameach to all those who are celebrating Pessach, Happy Easter to those who are celebrating Easter next week, and Ramadan Kareem to those of you who are celebrating the Meowslim holy month.

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Shimshi it appears that you have been a great help to your mom supervising all the house cleaning that she must do to get ready for this wonderful celebration. We wish you a very blessed Passover and a peaceful one. Lynn and Precious

Dear Friends ~ first, we wish you all a most joyful and blessed Passover and all beautiful days of this special time of year.
As for you, Miss Shimshi, at first we thought you were waving "hello", then we
suspected you might be waiting for Mom to put a dust-mop in your paw to help with the clean up ... but whatever, you do look very adorable.
And Mom's art is just even more adorable! Happy days to all ...
Hugs from Ann and JUNE
