I love the photos with the cat. I think the skirt will be wonderfully wonderful. And I think you have the most inspiring uninspiring pattern photo I have ever seen. I know the beauty that pattern will provide!

I love getting to see this whole process, from the pattern to the forthcoming end result. I especially love your assistant! My boy cat Boo often sits in my boxroom with me, pretending he isn’t watching my every move. He is a rowdy little thing who, even at the age of thirteen, really prefers to chase toy mice with my husband. I love him very much, but I do miss his sweet sister, for she seemed to be all mine, she saw into my heart and soul. He is a boy and she was all girl. He is the first boy cat we have had, all the others have been womancats, and I do think there is a difference. When I was little I thought that dogs were boys and cats were girls! xo

I think your word is great! I will adopt it from here on when I want to let things gel (roost). We all need a little more roosting in our lives. No more snap decisions. They simply do not work as well. Cats have a higher intelligence and I like to honor their insight even though sometimes it seems a little scattered.

It will probably be another week. This skirt will have to be one of many layers in terms of sweater, scarf, top, leggings, great shoes. Any ideas or input will be taken seriously!

Channeling Ralph…as in Lauren!! That is great! Well of course she is. I think he taught her grace and poise and indifference as well. I know she is telling me something. I need to do a post on her. She is a very remarkable and special cat!

What a lovely story! I think there should be a dedication to our womancats on our blogs. Without their support, we would be faltering in our goals or at least less inspired. Perhaps they were seamstresses in another lifetime and they came back as soul mates and teachers.

I don’t mind at all.
I’m sitting here smiling because the womancat in my house loves stitching. She allways keeps me company when that thread is going up and down. She’s faster then me but i am more patient, so in the end i win.

Your story is very interesting and I am a decided green…sewing has never been my strong suit.
The skirt on the pattern is a timeless style.
Lauren looks adorable…perhaps she is channeling Ralph.

I love the scraps! Letting them roost for awhile will let them talk to you about what else to become.
I had a cat like yours, Kitta Ma we called her, who had adopted my brother in the long ago.
Our cat got the chance to scatter paper last weekend when CollegeGirl had her ‘flashcards’ spread out on the floor. CG wasn’t too happy about it, but the cat was very pleased with herself!
