Today I  got back to the little fish that I made last year.

The hand stitching and deciding what to choose : 

sequins or beads or just stitch,

is a lot of fun, so every ever made fish

is different from the previous ones.

When the sun is shining

our little gray pussycat is asking me urgently

to place her extra pillow on the floor

right in the patch of sunshine,

and then she goes to sleep.

I love cats.

Still sunshine and warm

A warm and sunny day :
