New Stuffed Drawings

I’ve recently added a couple of new images to my line of stuffed drawings. After having so much fun drawing my Woodstock tribute guitars for the Plush Team’s Plushstock, I drew a cat playing a guitar on a creamy tan cotton fabric.

I enjoyed that project so much that I kept drawing on the same fabric and finally released an image that had been rolling around in my brain for months. My dog Mickey has developed the habit of laying around the house with his paws crossed, as though he were posing for his graduation picture. But when I try to photograph him, he moves.
So I drew him.

I plan on adding different fabric versions of these drawings to my shop in the coming weeks. These two are currently available there. I hope you enjoy my little stuffed drawings.

Maid of Clay Revisited

You might remember last year when I posted about lusting over Maid of Clay’s fantastic cats. I said I would snag one of her cats and I finally did. Let me introduce you to the cutest grey striped cat rattle on earth.

My cat rattle now sits in a nook by my kitchen sink keeping me company while I clean and cook. And she entertains me as well, all I have to do is pick her up and shake. Felicia, the Maid of Clay herself, provided this photo.

Felicia doesn’t have any cat rattles in the shop right now, but she has lots of other cool kitty stuff. You have to keep an eye over there for rattles, they sell as fast as she makes them. Don’t miss out, be sure to watch her shop for updates

Black & White & Grey Stripe

These cuties are my latest custom critter creations. A very nice man commissioned me to crochet each of his adult daughters a version of their own cat.

I love custom critter creating. It is such a challenge to translate the photographic cat into yarn and stuffing cat. He was pleased. I was pleased. How about you, do you like these kitties?

Here’s the photographic cats:

Scribbled Crochet

I have been carrying around this idea in my head for months, I wanted to make crocheted critters that look like they had been scribbled upon. Random, meandering swirls and twists and spirals. Doodle type designs.

After thinking about it for way too long, I finally embarked on creating a dark blue textured yarn cat. I crocheted, stuffed and sewed her up to point where I usually add the facial features. Instead, I crocheted a couple of very long chains with a contrasting color, burnt orange, cotton yarn. I then straight pinned the chains in a scribbled design. When I was satisfied with my scribbling, I hand sewed the chain to the kitty.

Etsy Lustings

Here’s a few items listed on Etsy that I’m lusting for, just in case you’re interested in buying me something. I’m kidding, but if you’re shopping, you might consider one of these fine works of art.

House Of Harriet

Mola Mama

Johnny Taylor Art

Couch Critters

These critters need new homes, the couch is getting too crowded. Visit here for dog and here for cat adoptions. Please. I want my couch back.

Looking For Love

There are a couple of cute critters hanging out at Critter Central looking for love. Why not give one of these cuties a new home? I hear that they make fabulous Valentine’s Day gifts.

Technicolor Rose

In our kitchen hangs this lovely stained glass panel of cats. Marcie is enjoying the sun streaming in below. What you don’t see is how the colors project onto the wooden cart that sits in the middle of the kitchen. Occasionally, meaning usually, there is a cat sitting on the cart waiting to be petted. The cart is the perfect height for cat petting. Last week, the sun was streaming in and of course, a cat sat on the cart. This time, the cat was Rose, a large, cream colored cutie. Her cream color short hair fur was the perfect projection screen for the colors of the stained glass. I think she looks fabulous as a technicolor kitty. I don’t think she agrees. What do you think?

Cat Fur Purses

My friend Donna in Atlanta sent me this video and I had to share it with all you knitters out there. Persian cat fur purses. Enjoy!
