Cat Bag

Next up in the bags for traveling kids series.... Kitty Cat pencil case. This was inspired by a pin I'd seen that led back to Tokyoinspired. This is our take on it. I love it a lot. 

I made it with some gorgeous felt that I purchased in Germany from the loveliest little shop, which I am now kicking myself that I cannot remember the name. 

It's unlined and except for the feet and buttons, the embellishing is by machine. Small pieces of wool for the stripes sewn on before assembling the front and back. Doing the nose and whiskers was fun. Scribbling with the machine might be something I should try more often.

Then Jessica said, "Wouldn't it be cute if it had a fish?" 

So I did.

And it is.

If for some reason Miss Boo doesn't like this, I may be stealing it back....

A Kitty is Born

If you have read Jenny P.'s blog, you know she has links to a lot of fun sites. While looking at Wee Wonderfuls I came across Pointy Kitty. After working on the Cathedral Window quilt, I needed something silly to occupy my time. I got him mostly-done Sunday night and realized I had run out of stuffing. As I was working yesterday, it was no problem to spend yet more money at the shop. So last night I completed my little Tom cat. He is surrounded by a bed of the little flowers I am obsessed with crocheting. I am bringing him to work with me for safety reasons. Brinkley, my lovely golden, thinks I made it for him even though he has his own live cat. Evie,the afore mentioned clever yet wicked cat, seems jealous so there is no telling what she has planned. Hope you like him. Maybe you will spot him somewhere in the store......
