Winter Wool Kitty

My attraction to houndstooth and tweed is still going strong. It sparked the idea of creating a tweed plush kitty. Since it’s just a few days before Christmas, I decided to take photos of it with my tree.

Tweed is known for being moisture-resistant and durable, so this kitty is ready for all types of outdoor adventures. I also knit it a scarf for additional warmth.

Houndstooth Bear

Lately, I’ve been drawn to things with houndstooth, wool, and tweed. I recently bought a pair of wool, plaid slip-on vans. . .  they’re super cozy and comfy!

Maybe it’s because winter is in full effect and those fabrics represent warmth. Whatever the reason, I was inspired to create a mini kleenex cover. I also thought it would make a nice holiday gift for my cousin, who always carries kleenex in her purse. I can always count on her if I need a tissue. Made with love for Nacho. . .

I used a houndstooth wool fabric for the cover, pleather for the bear applique, and buttons for the eyes.

Kitty Undies

I made these drawers for a gift quite some time ago, but never got around to showing it: spearmint green, orange sherbet, bubble gum pink, and indigo make for a very festive ensemble. hee hee.KittyDrawerDtl1

Spring Green Kitty

My dear friend Lana- The Gardenista, brought me this amazing orchid that just so happens to complement one of my latest plush cat designs.

We had a little photo shoot. . .

I made this kitty out of a velour-like fleece. The color reminded me of wasabi, inspiring me to make a headband for it. Now it can be karate kitty, sushi kitty, or maybe even tae bo kitty. he he!

The headband is removable too, for those who aren’t feeling it. I gave it a hot pink mouth because pink and green is one of my favorite color combinations. Happy Spring!

A tribute to Carl

I’ve received a lot of requests to create a dog version of my plush cats. This one was made in honor of my favorite – Carl Carlson Lamb.

He’s made of soft lamb skin leather (his last name is Lamb. he he),  ultra suede, and a few other special details.
