The manuscript for The Book is D.O.N.E. Done! I finished writing and drawing diagrams and editing photos today. I do still have to complete three of the quilts (they have been started, but my editor said that it would help them if I finished up the manuscript so that they could get that asap, and [...]

He Lives, He Purrs, He Plays
December 16, 2008
Warning: If you’re squeamish at all, you might want to skip this first bit, and come back in two or three paragraphs. At one week post-op, Shadow looks as if he’ll survive the whole ordeal. It was not an easy week mind you. Aside from the “normal” recovery issues like meds three times daily, almost [...]
Shadow: 5 of 9 left to go
December 9, 2008
Poor Shadow is really not the lucky cat, I tell you. Or I’m not the lucky owner, or something.

Shadow and Patches are in heaven on their sleeping shelf under the windows. I’m [...]
Patchwork Times: Banker cat does not approve ur loan

I’m truly not doing much these last couple of days except watching the packers stuff all of our things into boxes, and wishing that it was over and I was back to quilting in my new studio. IOW, nothing much quilting related to discuss, unless you count dreams, and I’m so tired and preoccupied that [...]
