The incredible, but true story of Stella and the purse.
Stella loves wool - all kinds, in any form; Stella also believes that all wool products ultimately belong to me, whether they actually do or not. She feels it is her sworn duty to delivery nightly all wool items to my bedroom door - no matter where they are located, either in the house, or the garage.
Lizzy and I designed a wool purse, from recycled wool. We cuts strips, and attached them to heavy interfacing cut to the shape of the purse, then stitched down the strips with decorative stitching. I lined the purse, attached a closure, and called it done.
Lizzy and Ashlee went back to school, so Melissa become the temporary owner. Stella decided that the purse needed to be returned to me. Every morning I would find the purse at my bedroom door. At first I asked Melissa if she didn't like the purse, and was she returning it to me. She said, "No, I never put it there". Over the next few days I would find various objects on the stairs, and again, the purse at my door. I said, "Melissa, why did you drop all of your stuff on the stairs?" She said, "I didn't do that, that's the stuff from my purse". Soon we started to get suspicious, who was doing this? What was going on? Could it be the cats? As a test, Melissa put the wool purse (full of stuff) in her large school bag. The next morning all of the stuff was dumped from the wool purse, the school bag was open, and the wool purse was once again at my door in the morning. Early morning Melissa couldn't sleep so she decides to go downstairs, and who does she meet coming upstairs with a purse in her mouth? STELLA.
Aren't kitties funny? That little Stella is adorable!
