I share an apartment with my best friend and three beautiful little cats. Chaney (after the silent film star) is a muted calico; Peri is at least part Russian Blue with a bit of tabby thrown in; and Archer is our only little boy, a mackral tabby.
I enjoy cross stitching a LOT! My favorite patterns come from Told in a Garden (http://www.tiag.com) and I highly recommend it for those folks who like to cross stitch and have experience. This site is not for beginners.
