Happy stitching!
Shop pieceocake.com for this and more :-).
But what color are they?
Sometimes they look gray, or blue, or green-ish. I kind of like that I can’t exactly figure it out.
I followed a suggestion from Robin G. and bought a can of compressed air (the kind you use to blow out a keyboard). Who knew? Cats really don’t like that sound! Jim gets a shot of air when he bites or does some other bad thing. At this point the can all by itself makes him stop. Thank you, Robin!
Belle has accepted Jim as if he is her very pesky little brother. Mostly she ignores him.
They both sleep a lot… but not next to each other.
NOTE: the newsletter was wrong—an error on my part. Sigh. The Thimble Pack Plus is next week.
Mary Harvey is this week’s winner. She will receive a copy of The Magical Unicorn pattern pack. The cardboard envelope is a little bent, the the pattern and instructions are A-OK. There’s plenty of time to make a unicorn quilt (or quilts!) for Christmas :-).
Shop pieceocake.com for this and more :-). See you next week!
My good friend needs this mother of the groom dress in a different color. This green dress can be taken apart to make the pattern to make it in a new color. Do any of you know anyone who could do this? If so, please let me know ASAP. Feel free to spread the word :-).
FYI: It’s a nice quality, thickish knit. Probably polyester.
Thanks!
Congrats to pmbremer who has won this cute foldable desktop organizer by Everything Mary! Be sure to come back next week for another giveaway!

Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. I liked many of them but, as I said, I was not the decider. Honestly, I might have named him Snert, but last night at a gathering of family and friends someone suggested James Tiberius Cat… Jim for short. Steve said that was it so Jim it is!
Jim already has an Instagram account because Elanor was here to set it up. You can follow him at james.tiberius.cat. I’m sure there will be times when Belle joins him there.
He spent the night mostly sleeping with me. When I got up in the middle of the night, so did he. He knows where the litter box is and how to use it—oh happy day! One less thing to worry about. He did want to play before going back to sleep but got over that pretty quickly.
Jim is curious. He decided to smell my coffee this morning before I could stop him, but decided on his own not to try it. Probably a good thing on all counts.
Belle doesn’t love him.
She hisses and spits and puts him in his place if he gets too close but so far, no blood. Jim has demonstrated that he has the good sense to run and hide as needed.
Both cats want to be where I am, or where Steve is when he’s home. It’s odd… I’m used to cats choosing their spaces independent of where I am, mostly because I move around the house so much during the day. Now I have a furry parade in tow a lot of the time. That’s OK except that then everyone has to settle back in when I stop.
As I type this, Jim is sacked out on the desk next to me. He really wanted to be on my keyboard but that is a battle he is not going to win.
It’s amazing to think that a little more than 24 hours ago this cat was a flea-ridden stray. I’d love to know how he is processing this sudden change of fortune inside his little cat brain.
