What s the best way to really settle into a new house? Finish a sewing project of course! I started working on the Matchy Matchy Sewing Club Collage Gather Top way back in February, but had to set it aside when class work took over my brain.

A few weeks ago, Friday, March 13th, I said goodbye to my dear cat Parker. She was my familiar and guide through life s ups and downs, but after 17 years it was time to let her go.
