Just thinkin' bout stuff. Photo from my collection, ca. 1940s.

Black and white photo of a little shorthaired tabby kitten sitting on a porch railing, looking kind of vacant and possibly depressed (I’m sure he was fine, it’s just that his gaze is turned downward in a way that would be interpreted as forlorn in a human).

It was good but it started as more of a memior (which I wasn't looking for) but all 'n all, worth the read.

The playing card mat is done!!! 🐲

I'm so happy that it turned out pretty much exactly how I'd been picturing it!

I also only had to frog the edging once, the body was done in one go! (definitely not at all related to how I carefully plotted this piece out 🤔)
