Feline Friday- Kitten Update
Good news- my neighbor is taking the kittens and mom!
Here they are playing. They still like hanging out in our yard.
I'm so glad they have a real home now.

A Magic Trick- Bunny turns into a Frog!
I love interesting and challenging projects. I had a customer that requested this bunny hat be turned into a frog hat, similar to the small frog plushie. It was tricky. I removed the ears and trimmed, stuffed and reattached them as eyes. I then covered the whole bunny face with the new frog's mouth.
After a wave of my magic sewing needle- tada!
I am quite happy with the results.

Feline Friday- Artist Trading Cards
My daughter (12 yrs old) and I have started making Artist Trading Cards together.
I like collaging. Notice the cats for Feline Friday!
Here are the backs of several cards. I like them to be interesting too.
The two on the right are by my daughter.
Animals, food, music, etc. I love the size because it is not intimidating (playing card size).
More backs.
This bunch I water colored and then drew over top. I put maps on the back, then thought it looked like a postcard.
These are water colored, then drawn on. The bottom two are backs. I used an old pattern tissue and lace scraps. I think I'm hooked!

Circular Weaving at Ginter Botanical Gardens
On a recent visit to Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens we saw these wonderful circular weavings hanging in the children's garden. No doubt a fun activity for kids, all I could think was "I want to do that!". The large ones are on hula hoops. They had some on wreaths too.
This one was on a much smaller ring. I have no idea how long they will be there, but I am inspired to grab my scrap bag and get started. Now where did I put that old hula hoop?
