My best friend and I like Odin’s Ravens a lot! The art of the 2nd ed is gorgeous, too. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/192074/odins-ravens-second-edition

We also play Wingspan, Patchwork, Bohnanza and double Carcassonne (both my game and hers to make a bigger map). But those games can be played with many players.

With husband, Sequence and Ticket to Ride: London are favourites

He considered eating it, so we had to put it up on a high shelf. He is a very good kitty!

Needle-felting is mad difficult, you never know if you end up with something cute or something deeply disturbing! Crochet is a bit more forgiving (just looks silly when bad).

Oh those are super cute!!! I am deeply flattered by the fact you actually remembered them from seeing my weird crochet kitty!

Haha! We’re Norwegian and Pelle is a name here - he was named by my daughter and the inspiration came from a children’s TV/movie series called Pelle Politibil (Pelle the Police Car). The car is black and white just like our Pelle.

Incidentally, he also has skin under the fur, so the name is still quite fitting with added context!

The best part of any holiday is the petting of local cats! Also you get to see the local scenery from new & interesting angles while trying to entice cats out from under parked cars, behind fences etc.

That is an amazing photo!!! Love it!

That gash makes me curious what happened? I would probably either remove the entire cuff (as it looks sewn on to the rest?) and replace it with something else - fabric (denim?) or leather if you can get hold of some. Or I would add something to the back - fabric in a similar colour - and use leatherwork needles to sew the gash shut with x-stitching. That way you close the gap, keep the leather look and get a “feature” from the stitch.
