In memory of Heidicat

 Its crazy to think I had her for 12 years and some of my friends never officially met her because she well, hid, all the time. She was essentially me in grey tabby cat form with an overabundance of personality and a LOT of opinions but damn she was a great cat. Mark who was allergic to cats fell in love with her and became quite the cat lady afterwards. he even wrote one of the saddest most heartbreaking songs after she passed away that I still refuse to listen to.

Thrifting find - Cat by Pat Schaverien

Image
 I always love it when I find something I really like at the thrift store and can actually get information about it. In this case I found this super cute cat print/drawing and had to have it.  Thankfully it  had the artist information on the back so after a quick Google search I was able to find out that this is titled 'P.C. IV' (Seated Cat) and was originally done somewhere around 1989. I doubt this is an original and I am definitely not going to open up the frame to find out.  The artist, Pat Schaverien was British and her works are held in the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Ben Uri Collection.  Which by the way, the Ben Uri Collection is a digital research center and museum in London who specializes in researching and recording Jewish, refugee and immigrant contributions to British visual arts and they have apparently been around since 1900 which is super awesome. I included the link below in case you want to check it out too.  https://benuri.org/ ...

I still have the book and will get back to it eventually to make some of the other patterns for sure.  Oriental Odyssey Also from A Cross Stitcher's Oriental Odyssey  I traded this piece for a beautiful hand knitted sweater that was hot pink from a pattern based off an original pattern from the 40s. It was so beautiful and I am sad that I wore it out but I am glad I did.  Pattern source ?  I don't...
