More new fishies!

I got some great bright colored fleece when it was on sale. I love how these two new patterns look on my dead fishies! And it was nice to buy off the rolls rather than just out of the remnant bin. :)

Happy Birthday Henry and Clementine!

One of the litters of cats that use to be outside recently turned a year old. Some friends took in a couple of the kittens and named them Henry and Clementine. So, I decided to make them a special birthday present. The toy I chose to make is a version of a cat toy(s) on a stick but instead of the regular cotton fabric cat toys I decided to use small fleece fishies. The fishies were a little tricky to sew since they are so small. But since it turned out so cute it was definitely worth it. :) We took them their present last night and they seem to really like it. I hadn't gotten the chance to visit them before and it was really great to see how much bigger they are!

Getting Ready for A Craft Show

Hello again blog readers! First of all I wanted to wish my US readers a Happy belated Thanksgiving. Hope you had a wonderful holiday. :) I have been busy getting ready for a craft show we are doing next weekend with a friend of my mom. I am contributing some yo-yo magnets and bags of cat toys. We will be selling our wares in Lancaster, Pa at the Eastern Market's Holiday City Arts Market on December 4th and 5th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. I am excited-Hope we do well.

Fishies!

~ Catnip Filled Dead Fish Toys

Hey everyone! It has been a while so I thought I would show you what I have been up to creatively speaking. I have been making more dead fishy cat toys and also some random shaped ones too. I have to watch though that I never leave them unattended or one of our furry felines will run off with them.

Thanks for stopping by-Have a great day! :D

Door Hanger Cat Toys

I finished these and the maple tree coasters just in time for Artsfest. They will be at The HodgePodgery's stand which will be right by the Walnut St Bridge in the free part. :)

Cat Toys!

I recently decided to take a hiatus from working with fabric yo yos. Since the weather has been great for the most part I headed outside to work on carving some sticks. I carve them and then use them to make cat toys with. Several sticks are now carved and just need to be cut to size and have a small hole drilled in the top. Then I will put a piece of elastic through them and tie a knot at the top to keep it attached. And finally I will sew three cat toys to each piece of elastic. And voila!

I have also been sewing up some catnip fortune cookies with some cat themed fabric I got at JoAnnes. I am not sure what I am doing with these yet. I enjoy sewing these while I sit and watch TV.

And finally I have been working on a new line of cat toys. These are similar to the cat toys on sticks except they are on rings. I am thinking of trying to sell these in our artfire store. I don't know if they would sell or not but I guess it is worth a try. I would appreciate any thoughts or opinions on them. :)
