Isn't that one of those organizational tools? "if it doesn't bring you joy, discard it", I think there's something like that anyway. I love the BOM tuxedo blocks and The Emperor is a striking fellow. Can't wait to keep reading to see how his portrait comes out. I could keep you busy with my cats! Sadly we lost our Multi in May, but we still have 8 more, if you ever are looking for project inspiration. As if!

I checked that neighborhood for days looking for signs of anyone looking for him. He was scared, underweight and grateful to be warm and fed. I took him to the vet, he was not chipped nor did they have any info on a missing cat. I truly believe he was dumped. I love him and he loves me...sleeps on my bed every night and all the wonderful things cats do. Oh, he's my first cat. My adult children gave him that name. Yeah, no idea why. Something to do with how I treat him and all the towers and toys I've purchased just for him. Ok, whatever, he's mine and I love him. Thank you all for the kind words. This is the only blog I've ever communicated on and I feel so honored and privileged to hear your kind words. I'm not joking, this warms my heart.

I do it by machine with a normal size stitch and pick out as I go, so it really isn't basting. It sounds awful, but it isn't bad at all, and it keeps a project all together nicely for travel. It's really nice when there is a complicated piece (say one elaborate design) on a background. Takes a bit to sew through the piece (I just iron on the design), but then it's there, no slipping or sliding or markings wearing off.

I would love to make those too--I'll add them to my millions of unfinished things. :) Maybe I should toss a few things I don't like from my sewing room too, so I can go wild?

We adopted him at a no-kill shelter: http://www.petsinneed.org He's a sweet cat and has many pleasing characteristics like our Gus who looked like you Smitty. We miss him, but Joshua reminds us of him so often, sweet & cuddly, but very smart!<br /><br />RosemaryCalifornianativedaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04575867488405482439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-37545180485293789942017-04-26T07:44:05.235-07:002017-04-26T07:44:05.235-07:00How cute, I'm going to look these up.

My hubby retired 11 days ago. We're looking forward to what's upcoming.<br />You reminded me that I have my Tuxedo's Tales kits sitting in a project box...somewhere. I think I completed through March (last year!). I really need to pull it out and work on it. <br />Love The Emperor! Have fun with his portrait.Linda M @ Pieceful Kingdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06747288018325637640noreply@blogger.com
