Many Hearfelt Thanks

First of all, many thanks for all the wonderful comments and e-mails about the death of our cat, Oscar, last Tuesday. It all happenned so fast that it had our heads spinning. We are just thankful he is not suffering anymore. Oscar was the cat we rescued from the animal shelter after our beloved cat, Nutmeg, passed at the age of almost 20! So between her and Oscar that was 34 years of feline wonderfulness. We still have Miss Penny who was a stray we resued so I am sure there is a cat out there somewhere who will join the ranks of our household. You just never know when they will show up. While this was all happenning my MIL ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. Happy to say she is home now and doing well. Whew! What a week!

In the meantime this fabric showed up on the doorstep.

This is Meadowsweet which I have been trying to resist but in the end the fabric won. I just love the mix of greens and oranges and aquas and browns. Haven't quite decided what I'm going to make but it will be something that shows off the fabric. So it was a welcome distraction to see these happy, joyful fabrics when they arrived. Reminds me of spring which hopefully comes early to NH although we may be getting snowstorn this week. I can dream of spring a bit longer I guess.
