I'd call him a marmalade tabby, for his color and patterns. <br /><br />And when you're decluttering, remember that if you have no concrete plans for something, but say of it, "I might use that someday," it should go. If you use that phrase, and clutter has become a problem for you, it's time to purge. I've done this with yarn, and after donating a lot of the "might use this someday," stuff, I have more room and a lovely feeling of lightening the load. <br /><br />And keep in mind, nursing homes can usually use craft stuff. Good luck!Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-83583990478408898382012-01-08T20:00:52.838-05:002012-01-08T20:00:52.838-05:00Many thanks, Joanna, to Deb Baker and you for star...Many thanks, Joanna, to Deb Baker and you for starting Killer Hobbies.
