Janet has been quietly and patiently trying to get me back to blogging so I’m going to give it another shot. I focused on a single hexie project for most of the last year (not making for great pictures) but this summer I started switching hexie projects every month and last month I returned to some machine sewing as well. Now I just need to get back in to picture taking.
We’ll start with the sad news…
After a short illness, my beloved Zorro died on 8/1/22, barely 2 months short of his 9th Gotcha Day. I didn’t have the heart to announce it anywhere online right away and then felt it would just be weird to do it later on. It was the first time in 30+ years that I didn’t have a cat in the house and it was incredibly lonely for the longest time. I’ve never picked a cat, always adopting strays, so I had a lot of time to think about what kind of cats I would seek when the time was right…
Luckily I didn’t have to wait long because here’s the happy news!
My
Gotcha Day was 9/13/22 but I showed up on Momma’s porch at the end of August.
Someday I’ll tell you how she crawled across the grass to try to pet me for
the first time.
My
hobbies include being quiet as a mouse, always holding Momma’s paw with my own,
playing greeting committee to all that come to our house, sleeping on Momma’s
lap, bird watching, chasing/wrestling my little sissy and making lotsa biscuits!
I’m
no longer afraid of … the kitchen ceiling fan!
Hi! My name is Holly and I’m a 5 month old polydactyl dilute tabico with dichroic eyes!
My
Gotcha Day is 9/20/22 and I’m the second calico that Momma has rescued from behind
the liquor store next to her office. Someday I’ll tell you how hard I tried not
to be rescued cuz people are scary.
My hobbies include playing with toys in the tub, chasing a
mysterious red light, sounding like a herd of elephants while I run at full
speed, looking out all the windows and chasing/wrestling my
brother. I run my own business called the Calico Dusting Service while I get
behind and under every appliance or piece of furniture.
I’m no longer afraid of … Momma!
