WiP and a A Tribute from the Hubby

As some of you know, I posted yesterday about our cat, Misty, who passed away Tuesday morning. I wish I'd waited to post it because my hubby sent out an email to our family about her death that I thought was so sweet and eloquent that I just had to include it here.

We lost a very special member of our family today.  Misty T. Cat (T. stands for The) was born July 18, 1992.  She allowed me to share her home for 20 years, and  adjusted to many additions to her household over the years.  She accepted another female into the household in 1998 and learned to love her.  She raised a Labrador and two children, patiently training them the proper way to treat a feline.  She was a stern disciplinarian  (swats and nips issued firmly but lovingly) and very protective of her family (invading lizards were always dealt capital punishment).  She was gracious enough to allow us to pet and feed her as much as we liked.  The last few years were tough for her, but she managed to continue in her matriarchal role for as long as possible.  We love her and will miss her, and I am grateful to have had the privilege. I know that tonight she is a fuzzy gray nebula in the starry sky who will always watch over us.

I also wanted to include my sewing feats for the week: a Noodlehead clutch for a friend and another Carpenter's Wheel to add to my small stack.

I now have 5 of these jewels but more are needed to cover my bed. Onward and upward!
