Every season I tell myself there must be a faster way to do this, but it always takes more time than I think it should. In any case, I&#8217;m looking forward to introducing you soon, and in the meantime it&#8217;s past time to get started on fall. Any special requests? I&#8217;m always open to suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and a kitty update since several of you have asked. Everyone is doing well! Both kitties have been neutered now, and Puck isn&#8217;t vomiting nearly as much as he was when he was small. We think he&#8217;s growing out of it, hurray! The weather here has been lovely, so when I open the French doors during the day they dig in my plants and take naps in the sunshine. I&#8217;m jealous. Here they are today. Luna is wearing a harness and leash because she&#8217;s just started jumping up and walking along the balcony&#8217;s tiny thin railing, so this afternoon I need to find a new solution for keeping them safe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cats-links-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-68874 size-large\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cats-links-2-760x589.jpg\" alt=\"sleepy kitties\" width=\"760\" height=\"589\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cats-links-2-760x589.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cats-links-2-500x388.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cats-links-2-768x595.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cats-links-2-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In case you missed it, I wrote about my newest <a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/blog\/2019\/03\/introducing-lisette-for-butterick-b6661.html\">Lisette for Butterick pattern<\/a> the other day.
