WOYWW 766


Gracie died on Saturday. We are heartbroken. 
I write about her here: https://lynnecrafts.blogspot.com/2024/02/gracie.html


Here’s my still life from last week’s art class. The pomegranate was from last autumn so I’d better retire it now. 
This week we will start a landscape but, as some people only joined this term, a lot of the class will be taken up with sizing up from a photo. The painting will only be done after half-term. 

I got a long way up the latest jumper when I realised I hadn’t kept the left edge straight and it had become way too big. So this:
Became this. This wool is a bastard to frog but I managed, in two days:
With Bella’s help. She sends purrs to you all. She doesn’t seem confused by Gracie being gone. 

And finally,
Take care and happy WOYWW 
Hugs

I was so sorry to hear about Gracie Lynne. Glad Bella is not too confused by her absence. Great still life. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2

Lynne, still feeling so sad for you and now all over again for poor Bella. They must struggle to understand more than we ever can why a constant companion is gone. Just a sad WOYWW day all round this week and even the funnies don't cause much of a smile. Give her a cuddle from me.
It's WOYWW day and I'm determined to be on time

As you know I was sorry to hear about Gracie but today my heart lifts a little as the news is good re Bella not being there.
Love your latest crocheting but sorry the edge was not straight for you - what is frogging?
The still life is impressive and you can tell the pomegranate is old and I imagine, leathery. What is the fruit in the foreground?
Good luck with the next step, I hope half term is more or less now and you don't have to wait too long.
Will persevere and try to get my tension better, it's when I set off it's dodgy. I think I will try the square soon.
Hugs, Neet xx 10

We were so sorry to hear about Gracie, she had a fab life with you, it could have been very different if you hadn’t met in the cat rescue. Glad Bella is ok, I know you and Bri aren’t so am sending hugs. Chanah Malka (no 8 on list) has a beautiful poem about a cat at the end of her blog, I think you’d like it. You did well persevering with that frogging, more patience than I have!

Aw, it's really hard. Am glad that Bella isn't pining, that would just compound your heartbreak. You gave a Gracie a fab life of luxury after you found her, take heart from her happiness. Xx
