three things
I have to say I will start with the most important one first, and considering all the lovely and heartfelt comments I think you will be able to guess what this is!
Baggy is home! We collected him yesterday, lots of money was parted company with, the vet explained what we need to do, and that most of all he needs quiet and lots of love : )
So that is the wound, not that clear, but you can see how much of his upper body is has affected, the sewn wound is 4″ long, but he seems quite comfortable and when he wants to gt to some food nothing is going to hold him back : )
He has taken all his medicine quite happily and so far so good. We have to go to the vets tomorrow, so they can check his wound, and then we will have a few more checkups over the next few weeks.
The main problem in a way is just making sure he doesn’t try to do anything silly, like try to go up and downstairs, jump on a chair etc, so we are having to keep an eye on him all the time unless he is soundly asleep! Thank god the boys go back to school next week!
Ok, so that is the first bit of good news, secondly I have made the draw for winning the quilt!!!!
and the winner is……..
number 15 – Donna!
She doesn’t have a blog, so I will mail her later for her address : ) Thank you all for entering, I may do another one closer to Christmas.
And talking of Christmas, due the past few weeks I am so far behind with my sewing : (
Sewhip is into the shops today, so hello if you are finding me for the first time! I had wanted to do an update for the shop to tie in with that, I also have my first fair a week on Sunday, the one in Oxford! argghhhhhhhhhhh, so I will be a busy bee for the next week!
But I would like to say once again thank you for the wonderful comments you have all left over the past week, we have all really appreciated them, it has made a huge difference to us, thank you!

So glad that he’s home with you again. That’s quite a big stitching there. When I read your post yesterday, I don’t really thought it was going to be that huge! Good thing he’s one the mend now.

I’m so pleased to hear that Baggy is back home with you safe and sound. What a gorgeous kitty, I cant believe how awful some people can really be. He’ll be back to his old self in no time, especially with all the love and affection he will get from you. Give him a little stroke for me 🙂 x

O My, I’,m so glad to hear that your cat is OK. That is so heartbreaking. Our cat was missing for 2 days, and we ended up hearing him in our neighbors garage. She knew that it was our cat and that he was in her garage but she did not let him out. The other weird thing is his collar had been removed. we are just so grate ful to have him back home. Don’t you just wish animals could talk…:)
Have a good day, Lisa

Hi! I read your story about Baggy and just want to say I’m glad he’s going to be OK. What a terrible thing to happen to a defenseless kitty! I’m sure he’s thrilled to be back home. Good luck to him!
And I enjoy reading the posts in your blog. Keep up the great work!

I was really sorry to hear about Baggy but pleased he seems to be on the mend, albeit slowly. My mind always boggles at the cruelty of people, what a thing to have to explain to Edward and William… Wishing you a happier week : )

I’m so pleased to hear Baggy is home and on the mend. What a terrible thing to happen to him, and how awful for you and your family. There are some really hideously nasty people about aren’t there. I just hope whatever deranged swine shot Baggy they soon get their come-uppance – what goes around, comes around.

Hi, I am glad that your Baggy is on the road to recovery. I can’t understand what makes people do such cruel things. I know what you felt like when you were rushing to the vets. Our big black cat Jinx was run over infront of my husband 10 years ago, unfortunatly he didn’t come home. I like to think it was because he was so vain, he didn’t want the other cats to see him with only 3 legs. Give Baggy a cuddle from me : )

Thrilled that Baggy is o.k and on the mend. Cats are difficult to keep quiet once they decide to do something aren’t they. Love that applique.

Just catching up with your news, and so sorry to hear what your mog has been through… how awful. Glad to hear back at home and eating well.

It’s so so long since I visited your blog but I saw your name today I think on Folksy, or it may have been etsy. Can’t quite remember but anyway I thought I must call by. I’ve just read the post about Baggy’s dreadful experience. As a total cat lover I’m just in shock that someone could do that to a cat. Unbelievable. I’m so very pleased to see that he is back with you and all is well. I’m sure he is being lavished with love, attention and tasty nibbles. Good luck with the fair in Oxford. I’m now living very near Oxford and I would have loved to have visited the fair but unfortunately I have commitments for Sunday. Hope it goes well. I will be back to visit here again. Fiona(Nonnie)
