I showed my first handmade gift to the relative I mentioned below, and I think I’ve changed her mind. She loved it! And who wouldn’t love it?
I need to add a ribbon around Kitty’s neck, because the stitches are visible where I sewed the head to the body.
The pattern is a free one, from the very talented Hillary Lang of Wee Wonderfuls. I love it, and I’ve wanted to make the pointy kitty for a year now. And I finally had my chance!
In other crafty news, I am going to be participating in the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival next week! I am going to be sewing something this weekend that I just really want to make, and it’s not a part of my holiday sewing plans for this year. So I’m going to give it away! I’ll see if I can think of anything else to add to sweeten the pot, but this will be fun! This will be my first time participating in a carnival! Impress Your Kids is also participating, so check there next week, too!

I hate politics, and I hate political discussions. They make me nervous and scared (that’s a personal issue I have with confrontations of any type – even friendly “discussions.”). But I read something via Making Home that really made me think about the election this year – and honestly, it made my change my mind about for who I was going to vote. Please click through… I was going to say “click through if you want to.” You may not want to…. but I think you should read this anyway.
THE CAT IS SO CUTE. I hope I win your giveaway!
She is so cute! I’ve seen that pattern on the wee wonderfuls website and have been wanting to make it. I haven’t got any littles to make stuff for….but I think even “big girls” could use a stuffed animal. I may have to make up a few for Christmas gifts for my girlfriends!
Oh man, I don’t know how I missed this cutie the other day when I was checking out the owl. I love cats! There is a knitting pattern that produces a small kitty similar in shape to this one–google “geobabe knitted kitty” to see what I mean (if you don’t know about it already)–there are some really cute ones out there!
[...] you tell what it is? EJ’s first words when he saw it were: “Oh, Momma! Another kitty? For ME?!?“ Nope, not a kitty, and not a deer either, which was his second guess. [...]
I’ve been making these cute little kitties too! They are so quick and easy and adorable! I’ve decided to give them as Christmas gifts. The only problem I’m having is being happy with sewing the head on. Your’s came out perfect though!
