I often feature “Kelly’s Morning Bath” […]

It's Tortie Girls Time!

The gold and orange and yellow of tortoiseshell cats may seem more of an autumn theme, but for me those bright colors always meant June and sunshine. I love to welcome the summer with my tortie girls Cookie and Kelly on as many items as I can make. Not everyone has the room for, or […]
