Felt wreath project progress

I keep working on the Bucilla felt kit to make a cat themed wreath. So many tiny stitches. I laid it down to take a progress picture and Izzy the cat decided to investigate.

The stuffed candy cane the cat is holding is the smallest stuffed object I have ever done, so far. The project has many, many tiny stuffed details.

A little water proofing

The heated cat house behind the coop had been used as a scratching post, compromising its weather proofing. I bought some outdoor canvas and applied it to the roof with hot glue, just to give it a modicum of extra protection.

It isn’t my neatest job, but it fixed the issue. It will also be a test of the hot glue to fabric bond as the weather changes.

It’s time

Sophie would like me to know that it is time for dinner.

She would really like to go out in the front yard, where she will await her vittles and sit in her sunny spot. I don’t actually feed her at the table. But climbing up there does get my attention when the head bumps of my leg fail to send the message.

Today you get a picture of Thor the gray tabby, because he is very photogenic.

Izzy claiming a blanket in progress

Izzy has been subtly trying to claim Grandma’s blanket as a bed for some time. I pick it up to knit and she comes over for lap time. Usually I am able to move it off to one side so she can’t take up residence, but I failed this time. She was pleased. Until I needed to turn the work. Silly cat.
