Cat's Claw


by Susan Wittig Albert


The setting for this mystery is once again in the charming little town of Pecan Springs, Texas.  Too bad the location lives only in the imagination of the author.  I'd love to visit!  The main character in Cat's Claw, is Police Chief, Sheila Dawson.  It was nice to read from her perspective on current crimes and how she really feels about China Bayles.  Smart Cookie, as her friends call her, has her hands full with one death and one disappearance.  Interestingly, the author introduces members of the Pecan Springs police force and their roles around town, which I enjoyed.  

As always, I was turning pages as quickly as I could and blew through another book in this series.  The twist at the end gets me almost every single time.  I seldom guess the culprit more than a couple of pages ahead of the author, if at all.

    Sounds like an easy read! I´m still at "What an Owl knows"...

Have you ever been enjoying a nice, quiet day of crafting, then BAM your jar of ModPodge falls off the table, splatters across the floor, and onto one of your favorite toss blankets?  Well, that happened to me right in the middle of this project.  Talk about a big, sticky mess!  Not to worry, though.  We have hardwood floors.  First, a dish towel was used to mop up most of the glops.  I had the thought to use rug cleaner on the afghan and also sprayed foam across the glue swirls on my floor.  The toss blanket made a round in my washing machine and came out unscathed.  A quick wet mop restored my hardwood floors.  Now, back to my nice quiet day of crafting.

Friendsmas celebrations are such a wonderful way to spend an evening with girlfriends!  The plan for this year's party, besides snacks, is for each person to bring a $10 gift and we will swap.  It's nice to have a small something for everyone, though, so this is what I'm adding to the mix. Fizzy Soaking Salts!

Participating in craft challenges is just that.  A challenge!  I love how each one helps me think in different ways and pulls me out of any ruts I might be experiencing.  This one is all about sustainability.  For me that means:  Minimize purchases.  Upcycle wherever possible.  This time, I even grew something from seed!
