Scarf, pincushion and puss with catnip

Olive is enraptured with the catnip I planted. How does anyone who has cats ever get it to survive? Both our cats have been scratching at it and rolling on it since I planted it.

Here is my second pincushion, top and bottom sides. A great use for old quilt scraps.

I have also started on a scarf for Pierre in the softest wool and cashmere, photographed on divine Cabbages and Roses toile cushion, from darling Sarah for my birthday.
