Bailey and Spot

Bailey’s very lean, and so he gets cold easily. He was shivery after going outside, so I wrapped him up in a blanket. Spooky (also now called Spot) came and cuddled up with him.

Peony still in progress

This is the peony embroidery, still in progress: I’ve gotten a lot more done, but it’s still got about a third of the flower to go. I just finished dyeing the silk for the leaves/stem, so I can work on that once I finish the petals. This is the cool part about working with silk […]

In progress: peony embroidery

I’ve had embroidery on the brain for a while now. I’ve been doing more thinking than stitching up to this point, and I’ve finally made some silk I’m happy with so I’ve started work on a project. This is a sample for me to get my hand around working with the silk; by about the […]

We're Down to the Final Three….

He’s been handled daily since about 5 weeks, and he’s lived inside with us for the past three weeks. He’s energetic and has […]

More Kittens

Fraidy Cat is an orange-tabby FEMALE. The vet says it’s a rare combination. She’s a beautiful cat; the parts of her that are not dark orange, are a creamy buttery orange color. She has long hair. EDITED: Fraidy has been placed. Yaaay!
