My sweet 17 year old kitty crossed the rainbow bridge tonight. She steadily went downhill from last week and stopped eating. I took her to the vet tonight. She agreed it was time. 
The kids are sad. Especially my 9 year old dd. =(
Like my new strawberry pincushion? =) I had to find the perfect pincushion/fob for my cool new scissors. I ordered these from a French website about 6 weeks ago and they just arrived. I had nearly forgotten about them! Ordering from this website is not for the faint at heart. Every correspondence is in French. Thank goodness for online translators! 
The pincushion is designed by Heather Bailey. I adore her patterns and fabric! You can find the pattern and kit in her new online store. This pincushion was fun, easy and fast to put together. I highly recommend it! I made one change to the directions. Instead of using the fiberfill that comes with the kit, I used crushed walnut shells. I picked up a 5 pound bag of them at the pet store this week for under $4! It is the nicest pincushion filling. Love it!
First, I’m elated because I’m doing great in my English class. I’ve turned in three postings and received full credit for each one. Yay!
I’m sad because it is just a matter of timing before I lose my 17 year old cat. =( She came to us 6 years ago and she is such a sweet old girl. But she is OLD and she is losing bladder control. I was waiting to see if she would pass peacefully rather than taking her to the vet, but I can’t let her suffer anymore. *sigh* This is the suckiest part of having pets. =(
