And can I just hug you so hard for understanding that font choice is a huge part of wedding planning??<br /><br />OT sounds like my parents' orange cat (what is it about orange cats?), who will only eat one kind of cat food and doesn't know what to do with "real" food. Unfortunately, he also things rubber bands and plastic bags are food, so we have to be super vigilant about not leaving those things out where he can get to them. Anyway, here's to hoping that OT's brand of cat food never gets discontinued!Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-9186818034300998882012-11-29T11:23:48.708-08:002012-11-29T11:23:48.708-08:00He might be the cutest when he's head-butting....He might be the cutest when he's head-butting...it's just so darned affectionate, even if it's only food-motivated!Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-42323261321186881862012-11-29T11:23:16.939-08:002012-11-29T11:23:16.939-08:00Thanks for such a sweet comment!

I hadn't meant for it to be a real tutorial, but whenever I see other sewists make stuff without a pattern I'm always interested in seeing how they achieved it, so I figured I'd include a snapshot of my process in case anyone was interested. <br /><br />In a way, I'm glad to be moving away so that my stash doesn't grow anymore!Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-2016729915787865202012-11-29T11:18:57.787-08:002012-11-29T11:18:57.787-08:00Huh, he does look round enough to be a Totoro, doe...Huh, he does look round enough to be a Totoro, doesn't he?

It boggles the mind just thinking about it. <br /><br />Walnut's previous owners told us that he grew up on a raw meat diet as a kitten, so we give him raw meat every once in a while. Not too often though, since it sort of spoils him for his regular cat food! Amy, considering that your cat came from the same cattery, it's not surprising that she's also into it! <br />Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-5422635016237297342012-11-29T11:05:02.729-08:002012-11-29T11:05:02.729-08:00Thank you!Thank you!Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-8663067834800837102012-11-29T11:04:53.815-08:002012-11-29T11:04:53.815-08:00I'm glad you made that connection, Regena!

I'm a sucker for fish scale patterns, and the dress looks so easy and comfortable to wear. Perfect for SF!<br /><br />Beggy Walnut is sooooo cute! Why don't you feed him more raw meat? We would if Felicity would eat it - silly kitty turns up her nose at any meat but two kinds of fish.

I use TNR in all my work documents, since I feel like it is the very definition of neutral, but I love nothing more than thoughtfully choosing the perfect font for whatever else I type (oh boy, font choosing for wedding stuff was like 30% of my wedding planning time...)<br />And my Orange Terror only eats cat food. Seriously. We have tried to feed him people food, cat treats, and other brands of cat food to no avail - we live in fear that his food will be discontinued and he will starve to death.
