Meet Marchesa.
Our household has a new member! We’ve been thinking about getting a little companion for Oscar for a couple months now. While he overall seemed happy with his situation, it’s obviously better for inside cats if there are two of them. Even more so because I might be at home with him most of the…

Gertie’s Lamour Dress Pt. 1: Cutting the pattern
