Today Is an Epic Day

Today, Walnut will travel the farthest north he has ever been in his short life. Today, that poor guy will spend eight hours in a car (doctored up with Oona's recommendation of the feline equivalent of a stiff drink...does it surprise you that she has cocktail recommendations for cats, too?) and end his trip in the homeland of Giants.

Like most proud dads, my husband has insisted on dressing Walnut up in Giants' gear from day 1.

Once there, he will meet his grandparents for the first time. They're not sure how they feel about their first grandchild being non-human, but they've got beloved feline children of their own, and it's not Walnut's fault that he's not a small human being. His uncles will be anxiously waiting to meet him, having smelled and licked his fur samples, but whether they'll be the type of uncles that give their nephew wedgies and swirlies is yet to be determined. I want to hope that they'll just be the type that take him to baseball games and play catch, but I'm not holding my breath.

Is he here yet? Is he here yet? Huh? Come on come on come on hurry up!!!

If you think of us today, please say a prayer for our safe journey and smooth transition. Posts may be a bit scanty while we get settled in, but I hope to be up and running sewing as soon as possible! If you're in the Bay Area this summer and want to have a sewing meetup/fabric shopping trip/costume party, I'm game!

  6. Safe travels! Wish I could go shopping with you, but sadly, you are still too far from me. (There is a Bay Area in the Houston area and I lived there when I was a teenager.)

  10. Hope you all made it and Walnut has been welcomed by his furry family! I'm super tempted to come up to the bay for a meetup, but I actually live closer to LA than SF - you probably drove right by me on your trip!

  12. Wish I was in san fransisco this summer! If you're looking for a really good cheap but with quality fabric shop there is a discount fabric shop in the mission district. It's a basement shop on the main street. There is also the top floor of britex fabrics-->http://www.britexfabrics.com/ the remnant are cute and well priced and the other floors have some really cool stuff, especialy the button and ribbon floor! Have fun in San Fran.
