This is Stella. My new cat friend that I did not post a photo of when I talked about her recently. We are becoming better acquainted. She walks down the driveway to greet me when I approach. I have developed ridiculous pet names for her.
This in no way implies that I am not still seriously in love with Barry. He has taken to visiting me on my porch. I have a lot of inside pockets in my body where I can store endless amounts of cat love.
In other news, while in Sarah’s fabrics downtown the other day, (https://sarahsfabrics.com) I spotted a lovely bundle of 9 fat quarters that begged to be made into a set of new fall napkins. I like an even number of napkins so I snagged a ringer that looked like it went with them, from a color perspective anyway.
A few short hours later there was this lovely stack. Napkins are an immensely satisfying project that make me very happy every time I look at them. Since that is every single night with dinner, there is a serious amount of bang for the buck. Especially since I love actually making them. These fabrics are part of the Golden Harvest collection by Martha Negley. Who happens to be from Kansas City by the way.
I snuck in this quick read recently. It’s a page turner. The story of a young woman with a mysterious illness that turns out to be very rare, but through the perseverance of all the people who love her she gets diagnosed. I went to my very first book club ever where this was discussed. I loved it. Low key, really nice people, perspectives different from my own, it only lasted one hour, snacks were available. What’s not to like about all of that. There was a feeling of community that felt good as we sat around.

How about a quick close up of the flowers from last week’s farmers market. They seem perfect with the fall napkin color palette don’t they?
