My family is growing

As you may have noticed, I have two sewing cats, Page and Spacecat Spiff. They're both very keen on helping me in all my projects. Page is especially good at counting pins by the simple method of pushing the pinbox onto the floor. Spiff keenly tests corset boning with the arduous playtest.



Well, in three weeks time I will have the addition of three lovely cats, whom I am sure will help me just as eagerly. Let me introduce Mats, Adolf and Frida, aka The Cutest Cat In the World.

Here's Mats kindly being a pillow for Adolf.

And here's Mats having some quality time with Frida.

Frida's blind. She wasn't born that way, but it came gradually when she was a couple of years old. It doesn't daunt her much. It does give her very scary eyes at time, though.

Of course, getting these little cuties comes with a price: ;-)

Gratuitous kitty-post

I itch to sew, but haven’t had any time to do it lately. Well, I sew, but in such small bursts that I have nothing to show. The ribbon embroideries on my reticule are done and I’m sewing on the spangles. I’m about to start cutting out the petticoat for the 12th night ball. I also have a modern underbust corset half-done and two wool skirts.
So instead, here is Spacecat Spiff for your enjoyment.

He and Page, who escaped the camera, managed to kill this evil cardboard box in the course of an evening. It’s very dead now.


“Well, what did you expect when you put a basket on my favourite sleeping spot?”

“And I’m very, very sleepy.”
