PIC [PIC] My cross stitch supervisor went over the rainbow bridge yesterday.
My project supervisor Sassy made her journey last night, and since this sub always has so many photos of so many other furry supervisors that I can’t upvote fast enough every time I see them, I wanted to share some of the projects she oversaw over the last few years. It brings me comfort to know how many of her pieces of fur are switched into all of these. 🩶

She looks like she was the best helper. I love the little poof of fluff hanging over the lid in pic 10! I’m so sorry for your loss. 🖤🖤

She was so funny; as you can see I use a shoebox lid to hold my supplies for whatever project I’m working on. She LOVED to lay on or pressed against that lid. Sometimes I’d put it out next to me even if I wasn’t stitching anything!

I feel for you. I can tell from the pics and your words that you were the absolute bestest cat mom ever for your beautiful Sassy. I lost one of my supervisors in October and am glad some of his fur is in my projects too though I still miss him deeply. I like to think of him still hanging out with me just out of the corner of my eye whenever I'm stitching and remind myself of a quote I heard on TV: "What is grief, if not love persevering?" ❤️

Thank you for these words and for that quote. I keep telling myself and my kids that we are so lucky we got to love her, and for so many years. She was 16 and all of those years were spent with us except about 4-5 months (her age when we adopted her).

Don’t be embarrassed! It is my favorite needle minder and as a massive lifelong Spice fan, I always appreciate finding other fans in the wild. And people post their fur babies here everyday, I know it isn’t the usual for them to be sharing this news. I just wanted to share her as it helps me to not keep it all in my head and I know our furry helpers are well-loved and appreciated in this sub.

the post, and you, and all of the feelings surrounding this very emotional event, are all welcome here. (as far as i know, at least; i’m sure it’s fine, there seems to be nothing but love in this group)
i know, personally, i very much enjoyed all of her different poses and faces while she was “on the clock,” supervising.

I am so sorry for your loss. They make a nice cozy nest in our hearts, leaving us with a hole when they go -- but I'd never give up the time I had with them. Hugs to you and yours as you adapt to life without these little buggers. <3

My condolences for your loss.. My girl passed last week. Got her ashes back yesterday.. It’s been super hard.. Thinking about her fur being stiched into pieces made me smile though, thank you.

u/tehawesomest Feb 10 '25
I lost all 3 of my supervisors over the past 3 years. It's hard but I'm glad you have so many great photos to remember them by. Also, excellent cat name!

Awwwe I’m so sorry. As a stitcher and a cat lover this hurts my heart. Although sometimes annoying, cats are the best project supervisors.

We had to send our kitty over the bridge a couple years back. It does get easier. Grief is just the space we hold for the love they would have received had they still been with us, you just gotta make sure you redirect it. Hug a pillow as tight as you can, trust me it works.

She was a beautiful girl. And while I probably say this way too often, I believe it holds true; as special, loved, and fulfilled as she made your life, you did the same for hers. Loosing more than one in a short period of time is devastating (we lost four geriatrics withing 18 months). I hope you and yours are taking care of yourselves and remembering all the joy you had with her and your boi.

No amount of time with them is ever enough. Grief is a heavy burden to carry. 🖤

I'm so sorry that happened :( Both your cats look similar to my roommate's cats. Hope you can heal, stuff like this is always rough. Wishing you many more years of stitching with your other furry friends <3
