Wedding Gifts for a Cat-Loving Couple
These huggable kitties were ordered for wedding gifts for a cat-loving couple. These guys were made way back, but as they were not given yet, I din't post them up... They shoud have been given to their rightful owners already.... erm... right? :P
What a handsome pairsome!
Samples of my (nifty?) handy work
I sometimes wonder if I should sew the button eyes crossed (x) or straight(II). It's a constant battle in my brain just before the sew the eyes on. I am starting to sew them straight as I am bored of crossing them....
Got More Fish Gang (L) - $89
Optional:
1) Embroidered Eyes - $5
2) Embroidered Name - $5 per name

Moonshine the Lying Down Kitty
Meet our latest orphan, Moonshine. I cannot decide if he is upset because he has not enough catnip or too much off it... but please do note that his eyes are a tad bloodshot.....
.... Side view of him lying down..... (BTW, he only comes out at night)
I don't know if anyone would have noticed, but I MUST point out that Moonshine was made out of a heel-less sock. I always had an issue with heel-less socks when making the sitting-down kitties, as they then tend to stand instead of sit, like so:
Observe these 4 kities closely. Cute, yes? Matty on the extreme right sits nicely, because of the presence of a bum, as he was made by socks with heel. The rest of the girls seem to be standing up (or lying on their backs perpectually).
Back view of the kitties.... 3 bumless girls on the left & one boy with bum on the right. Nothing at all wrong with standing kitties, really; the colours for the heel-less socks are way prettier, but my preference is still for heelful (yes I know there is no such word) socks for sitting kitties & heel-less socks for the new lying down kitties like Moonshine. Am I being too fussy?
I really should have thought of this design EONS ago, but better late than never... You obviously can't make Moonshine out of socks with heels.... well, actually, you can, but what a waste of a sock with heel.
Please note that he is the VERY FIRST doll with a SmeowlyCats tag on him!!!! Yes... he (& the rest of his friends) is still sewn (& designed) lovingly by me & me myself!!
One thing to note about the sock animals is that they are done without patterns, so I cannot replicate exactly the same one for you... I can only do one that might be very similar to it, provided I can find the sock again. & yes, if you really insist, I can use any type of sock for any type of design. ;)
Moonshine - $59
Optional:
1) Embroidered Name - $5 per name
2) Embroidered Eyes - $5
Of Jailbreakers & Persian Peacocks
Bonny (Pink & navy stripes) & Clawde (Black & white stripes), the jailbreak kitties. Bonny is the mastermind, whilst Clawde is just a toddler. What? Their names are Bonny & Clawde, not Bonnie & Clyde.....
The Persians. They are made of batik-inspired fabric... Looks like peacocks to me! Rather ornate, & different from the normal kitties I've been making... for a change. Do look forward to new designs!!
Bonny & Clawde (Sock Cats 'Reg') - $59 each
Got More Fish Gang 'L' - $89
Optional:
1) Embroidered Eyes - $5

The red (Ashlee), grey (Kaitlyn) & green (Matty) are to be re-homed to Australia around Christmas time, whilst the pink (Lynette) is staying here in Singapore!
