Sewing Companions

I'm going to take a small detour to recognize my sewing 'helpers'. Here was the scene the other night while I was working: Tyger, on the cutting table, helpfully holding down a piece of silk chiffon in case it might blow away. Mack, keeping a spot on the floor warm, just in case. Sometimes I get exasperated with them; it seems like they can be constantly in the way when I'm working on a project. But they always try to be helpful (I have plenty of pictures of Tyger "helping" when I'm trying to photograph something) and it's hard to stay irritated with them for long. I never thought I'd become one of those 'crazy ladies that sews with a cat/dog', but it seems I'm well on my way!

Note: Unfortunately, Blogger didn't want to insert my photos, but if you'd like to see the 'companions' in action, you can view a photo from the scene by clicking their names.
