Last weekend, I went to a needle felting workshop. It was easy and incredibly satisfying. I have added a little something to the mitten, and made two bears, too. Photos don't do the bears justice. Edie dressed the gray bear in clothes she took from her other animals, but I made the white bear's Christmas skirt.

I am trying to figure out little Christmas presents. This is my first attempt.

The past few weeks, our cat Althea's health has gone downhill fast. She died peacefully yesterday afternoon. She had a good long life- 17 1/2 years. I drew this picture right before we took her in to the vet's office. She will be missed.
