Sometimes in life cats need guardian angels too. And sometimes one never knows who or what might be lurking beyond, just outside the window….. A guardian angel must always be ready, brave, and confident. Checking and re-checking any and all locations. Sometimes flying high to peek around from above…. Or low, waiting on the stairs [...]

The power of being. A love affair that stays and nurtures.
Stealing Cats
Posted in animals, Cats, compassion on October 29, 2010 | 25 Comments »
About six weeks ago, I posted 15 of these posters in a neighborhood where I walk on a regular basis. For over two years, maybe three now, I have seen signs go up almost weekly of people searching for missing or lost cats. Today I finally went to the Humane Society of Portland after seeing [...]
Family visit
Posted in Cats on September 3, 2010 | 13 Comments »
I am leaving this morning for Southern California to visit my kids and grandkids. I think my newest grandson has changed so much since he was first born. I always miss my three kitties more than they miss me I am sure. Then I hope to return home for an extended stay. Lots to do [...]

Joy is best and most often found in simple and familial things……. a new grandchild on the way, a beautiful rose in the garden, a collection of fabrics waiting to become, a much-loved cat, a view of nature and finding solace there. I really welcome comments if you have the time and inclination, but I [...]
Cutting out the skirt

Please excuse me, but this is the most uninspiring photo that I have posted in some time. It is akin to watching the grass grow. I wanted to show you the layout of this skirt, how it is cut crosswise. It seemed the perfect pattern to accentuate the throw and its jacquard pattern. Actually, it [...]
Willie

I was intending to do a post tonight on Florence Peto, but ran out of steam. But Willie loves to be a subject of my love. He is the best black cat. He digs his way into your heart. I hope he always is very close by my side. My Halloween garb. I will be [...]
