Wednesday's Works

~*~

Happy Hump Day!  I have begun my latest custom rug order, and I'm so excited about this one.  It will be my largest cotton yarn rug to date- measuring 50" by 106" when complete.  This is what I have so far: 50" by 10".  Just a *little* bit more to go.  You'll probably get to see this in Wednesday posts for at least a couple of weeks.

Another cat hat - this one bound for Cooper, a furry redhead in Michigan.

Last cat hat for awhile- this one headed just down the highway to be shared by Lulu and Larry in Warrenton, VA.

Besides the crocheting, Sophie and I have been working on her class Valentines and a bulletin board at the school.  I have revamped a couple of charm packs for sosovintage, and am finally getting some of my new vintage towel pile photographed and listed.   Busy, busy!

What have you been working on lately?

Makeover Monday: 2/4

After posting the photo of Sinatra in his party hat on facebook the other day, I had a couple of my cat loving friends take me up on my free cat hat for pictures offer.  I have already made a rainbow party hat for Kookie, Sinatra's Hawaiian "cousin".  He will wear it for his birthday celebration next month!

~*~

The next request came from Emily, pet mom to a little girl kitty named Ezra.  Ezra's head measures just 2.25" between her ears, and Emily was hoping to have a fez made for her.  I do love a challenge!  I googled "fez" to be sure I had the right idea in mind, then got out my red yarn, black embroidery thread, hook and tape measure.

Tah dah!  Here is the mini fez being modelled by one of Sophie's stuffed cats.  I cannot WAIT to see it atop Ezra's little noggin.  Thanks so much for the fun request, Emily :)

Happy Caturday

On the one hand, it feels wrong to put this party hat on Sinatra and then snort and giggle wildly at his expense.  On the other hand, he sleeps through it and it's some of the best free entertainment on the planet.  Love this boy!

Sinatra swiped his sister's hat for a photo shoot this morning.  He's got his eye on us!  In the eloquent and eternal words of Cosmo Kramer, "Giddy up!"

Introducing

The fat cat party hat! 

~*~

Let's look at this boy a little more closely....

~*~

Aww.  So stately.  So handsome.  But yep, he has clearly been partying too hard.  He's just wiped out from all of that eating and sleeping.  Wiped OUT.

This look was inspired by the guinea pig post from last month.  So whaddaya think- would anyone else be likely to want one of these organic cotton beauties for their party animal?  $12.  One size fits most.  Easy on, easy off.  Multiple color options!
