The rest of the Puyallup sewing expo swag

This came today.  It's a gorgeous blend of viscose and wool from Louise Cutting.  Instead of hauling tons of fabric across country, Louise brought extra large swatches.  After pouring over all the luscious choices I ordered this, and she mailed my order when she got back home.  I'm really going to like working with this!  The color isn't accurate in my picture.  It's more of a red, with a blue undertone.

I've got my own pussy hat!

Made by my friend Pam!  I am very proud to wear this hat!

Goodbye sweet Hettie

2000 - 2017

These are Steve's cats, Buster and Hettie (she's on the right).  Hettie made her last trip to the vet this morning.

Oh! Lucky me!

My new Australopithecus afarensis

This is Susan, Lucy's sister.  Chewing on the leg of some stripey creature that she probably scavenged.  I think she's beautiful!

My new toys!

Düssel und Dorf

They only took two weeks to arrive from Japan.  The man is named Düssel, and his cat is named Dorf.
