Sunday Crafting

Had lots of fun mending, finishing and starting anew today. The weather was wonderful and the patio called out and said bring your crafting tools outside, so I did. Keanu needed ear surgury and afterwards he was happy to pose in the grass for another picture for all to see. He's a favored stuffed animal and got attention right away.

Next the bunny lifeguard got totally assembled. He went together much faster than his companion "bunny beach babe" but still he had extra problems to solve. His pants can be removed but his tail is sewn on the pants. Next time I'd make a slit in the pants and sew the tail on the bunny. His ears were pulled through a hole in the cap. The pattern called for sewing the ears to the cap, but that seemed silly when you could do it the other way and make the hat removeable. I love his little whistle. He too loved posing in the grass and looks forward to going to my work tomorrow where he will join his other compatriot. Next for him is a knitted surfboard and beach ball so they will have activities to do whilst lounging.

Tiring of knitting I started a new cross stitch project. This will turn into an ornament that's mounted like a little flip-flop. I loved the pattern set and look forward to sharing how it turns out.

I heard from the slipper recipient and they got rave reviews for fit, feel and look. They were put right to use and that in itself is the greatest compliment. I do love guided crafting.
My gang is enjoying all of the fresh air as of late. Every morning after breakfast I open the guest room window and the entire gang came running in today. There was a little push for the best window seat . Note that the bed is covered up with an anti-cat-fur blanet and the pillows are stacked off to the side. This allows the cats to have the best nap vantage point. Little Fern even ran to the bed side and looked up hopefully at me so up she went on the big bed too. She got all set in the special cuddly spot by the pillows but there was a ruckus after about 15 minutes and she gave up the spot to Sailor (the guy in gold) and went to her own bed on the floor. Sailor commanded the bed lounging on it for the rest of the day and into the evening. When I closed the window tonight he looked at me I think lovingly, got his cuddle and closed his eyes again. Kitty comforts at home. I love them all dearly.
