I usually retire my Padres purse after baseball season ends. It was such a great season for our San Diego Padres, that I wasn’t ready to do it that soon! Plus…

I had tickets to an Elton John concert…and why did I wait till he was almost ready to retire to go and see him? Well it was at Petco Park, home of the Padres and couldn’t bring any bags in.

And then I went to see Hamilton, so that delayed the changeover. But today I will ceremoniously change them. I have bought a new wallet to go with the colors and I have a darling little change purse with cats on it. Go figure?!? It was a gift from a dear friend that she bought for me in England.

This is a picture of AlleyCat that was take years ago with her table surfing around all the while not taking her eyes off the turkey. I laugh a little every time I see it. Speaking of Thanksgiving, I hope you all had a great one. I did as I stayed home (by my choice) and spent the day with the cats, stitching and eating turkey stuff! I finished 2 small pieces, another travel tag and an ornament. I will save pictures of them for another day.

Speaking of cats, here they are keeping me company. I do love their company and their warmth, but I have done a fair amount of reverse stitching because of too much black cat hair in my stitching!

I promise not to wait so long between posts, especially since I am headed to M’s Canvashouse this week for a class with the Embellishment Squad and Suzanne, Tony and Meredith. So I’m sure I will have plenty to talk about!
