I thought since a few of the girls had been making soft toys that I may as well have a go as well. Now I used to sew but that was 15 years ago, I have a machine that was Owen's Grandmothers but I need a new needle so Captain Meow was made using my $16 little portable piece of junk. Apart from a few busted seams during stuffing I don't think I did too bad. Jack was watching me making him and asking what it was and I told him it was a cat for him and what did he want to name it, he just kept meowing at me and the one suggestion he did come up with was Kitti which is the name of one of our cats so I decided that we'll call him Captain Meow. The pattern was a freebie from Wee Wonderfuls if anyones interested.
I had one of those days yesterday, you know when you feel kind of funked and couldn't be bothered doing anything around the house so I scrapped. I did my advent tree...finally and I have another still to do for my brother's family and one for my Mum. I actually dimensional magic'd it too, some of the flowers discoloured a bit but it looks fine and is all protected. Inside the number 1 is the Christmas stamp from Jack's first Christmas and if I can fin the spare one from his 2nd it will be going in box 2 and so on...
And a LO using on the gorgeous sheets of paper that Sarah very kindly sent me.
Righteo, I better go and finish getting ready for work, catch you on the flipside.
