The only way I could get the cat off of the sweater was to hang it vertically:

The rosette on the skirt was a ready-made dyed-to-match item -- the fabric and trims were from the Casa Collection at JoAnn Fabrics.


They sang in the morning service and also in a concert in the evening. Both girls had solos.
