Nancy You have my sympathy as I have had upended pillows a couple of times now - once the cats were at fault (they knocked over the whole table p laying a wild game of chase around the house) and once it was the fault of my cleaner's sister-in-law, who came to help her. But I would like to

Thanks Alex!   The Greek Gods piece is stunning.  I like the banner you have across the top of your pages too--is it in one of your books?  What a great website.   Everybody, if you haven't clicked on her link, do so!   Nancy Connecticut, USA I was part way

One of my ferrets (they both still live because I don't know which one) climbed up my stack of lace pillows last night to the one I've been working on.  Ferrets like to dig, and they like things that rustle, click, or otherwise make noise.  Image the little beast's delight when s/he discovered

Watch out, Agnes. Our Newfoundland, Sirius, (after Harry Potter's Sirius Black) wags her tail, and if she's in the right place, the bobbins move. And since the pillow with the altar cloth is right by the sliding glass doors in the kitchen, where Sirius will go in and out, I'm sure some day

Nancy: my commiserations. One of my cats did that once. I got home from work and found my pillow with spangled bobbins upside down on the floor, 2 broken bobbins. One was my only bone one. Time elapsed from the disaster meant both cats were puzzled about why I was yelling and waving my arms
