Requiscat in pace

April may not have been the cruellest month, but it's not one that I'll recall with ease or fondness. My much cherished, 14-year-old cat developed liver disease, and it was touch-and-go all month as to whether she'd pull through. She didn't. Now I understand more completely why a witch's cat is called her familiar. Rest in peace, Chessie cat.

And now, back to work.

On the up side, regarding work, 8 of the 10 pieces I made for Virginia Speigel's Fiber Arts for A Cause have found homes (one is going to Scotland ! ) and -- all told, and more to the point -- FFAC raised $12,000 in two days for the American Cancer Society.

I did my bit by purchasing a lovely piece by Nellie Durand called "Hope."

Until I can figure out how to link and/or upload stuff, you can check it out on her blog (May 4 post): http://nelliedurand.blogspot.com/
