No, I'm not singing the television commercial. But I have been busy making cat purses. Now those who know me might laugh. Yes, laugh. Now stop laughing.

I do have a confession to make: I am not a cat-lover. However, despite my lack of interest in felines, a friend of mine just got a kitten for her two little girls. This friend is also my 'secret sister' at our church, so I began making little cat purses to give as a surprise.

I sketched out some ideas and got to work.
This one is for my niece in NY (hi there!)
I used recycled wool (from all of those felted sweaters that were piling up)

and did a wee bit of embroidery. (Don't look too closely!)

I hand stitched and machine-stitched, using the same idea for the strap as
this one.

There, done! Now for the Free Cat...

This little cat would like a home. I'd be glad to send her to you for your little girl (or boy). Just leave a comment, and I'll pick names out of a hat in 7 days - next Wednesday!

These are so cute! You do it ALL so well - photos, recipes, crafts, sewing! Please put our name in the hat, too. My daughter would love it! I wanted to let you know my son made your mushroom/brie soup and it was amazing! He doubled the recipe, so we'll have some for lunch today, too! Yum ;)
