Gifts for Babies!!

Since I've got babies on the brain... Well, just the one, really... this seems to be an aptly timed order.Yes, it's quite unfortunate that I can't just whip up a few softies at my own fancy but I wouldn't trade this motherhood thing for the world!

These guys were ordered to serve as bolsters for newborns. For these, I advised for no beans in the bum & embroidered eyes.


Lil brown doggy for a1 month old baby girl. I later learned that the doggy was fashioned after the family pet, a chocolate labrador.



'Got a Bone? Gang' doggy




Handywork whoring. If you cock your head sideways (to the right), you can see a blurred image of WeeOne in the background. :P


Haven't sewn a 'Got More Fish? Gang' for yonks!



Gee I wonder what I'd do if I ran out of flannel. :S




Handywork whoring again

'Got More Fish? Gang' + hand embroidered eyes & name - $99
'Got a Bone? Gang' + hand embroidered eyes & name - $109

Happy the Anxious Kitty

Happy is a kitty with a cushy home.


He has a friend called Boney II.


He's got the typical 'M' on the forehead & corresponding stripey markings too.



Close up of his stripes.



Happy used to have a long tail, but anxiety caused him to gnaw at his tail & he had it amputated in the end. The anxious kitty called Happy. Hehe.

Happy - $99

MiniMeow Ahoy!

I had a request for a little sailor MiniMeow. She is to be shipped off overseas, hence the mini size. It's expensive to mail bulky items in general. I had a friend who mailed a pillow off to Australia before! I think shipping came to about $20 & on top of that, she had to purchase a BOX from Singpost for that! I think the box costed her about $10 or so? Yikes I say... YIKES.



Ahoy there matey!


The message reads 'From Your 1st Mate With <3' Sweet little message isn't it? Incidentally, I have been telling people that you can't fit much on a MiniMeow. I guess I was WRONG. You CAN!



Close up of the message. Sorry about the blurry picture.



Ditto that. Incidentally, I filled in the heart after I took the picture.

3 Amigos Together Forever

I am guessing this gang of 3 (as in the real life friends, Bobby, Shuen & Teck Siong) are avid animal lovers. The rough collie (centre) was described as Bobby's favourite pet, which made me think he's got a menagerie at home.




Teck Siong (50cm in height), Bobby (45cm in height) & Shuen (50cm in height). Even though Bobby is the shortest, he gets to be in the middle as he is the receiver of this wonderfully thoughtful gift. He is going away & Shuen thought he might miss his favourite pet & his best friends.

I used pompoms for Bobby's body. I did this simple because he is quite a furry dog & just plain socks wouldn't do him justice. He'd probably end up looking like a Jack Russell Terrier or something.


Back of Bobby. I will be adding more 'hair' on top of his head before delivery later today.

Updated:


Voila! Many a sore finger later, a full head of hair! I am pleased with the results, as I encountered a sleepless night wondering if I should do it up. Of course, I am happy with the results. Nothing like pride in your work! What I did was I sewed loops of yarn directly on his head & I knotted every loop together & snipped the loops into separate strands. Frankly speaking, I like the loopy hairs (see Lanquid Lyon) as the loops puff up the hair, adding volume, but then, the look will be different from the rest of his body then.

Back view of his lustrous lustrous hair!




Back to the original post:

No sewable space on his bum, so his leg will do!


Kitty named Shuen. This kitty was also described as her favourite pet. I hope I captured his innocent look well!


Innocent look!!!

Bum of Shuen, The innocent-looking kitty.




Teck Siong, the Louis Vuttion-Loving Fox Terrier.




Was requested to make a scarf with an 'L' embroidered on one end & a 'V' on the other for him. Genius that I am, I sewed both sides of the scarf (that's back & front, so ultimately, I embroidered 2 Ls & 2 Vs altogether), so that if the scarf happens to flip, you can always see an L & a V all the time.

What I Have Neglected to Update During Busy Times

Cinders, Ash & Muffler, all in gray (a populaer kitty colour, if I may say so myself).

Cinders (left) has been spoken for, but Ash (centre) & Muffler (right) are still available.


Lil Paul. Off to be owned by a lil Eurasian baby.

I must say, one of the best faces I've done so far.. Heh.. *proud look*


Comfy red couch, this is...

Boy & Girl, commisioned early for X'mas presents for a polka-dot-&-stripes-loving couple.
The girl likes jailbreak stripes

The boy like polka dots.


Spotty & Dotty

Spotty is brown with purple dots. She's really the same sock as Boy, but in different colours.
A. Pinky actually has a partner in peach, waiting to be stuffed. I ran out of stuffing & have yet to run to the shops for somemore. A. Pinky is currently on reserve.


Standard sock kitties - $59


Optional:

Sunkisst Edited

Sunkisst the lying down kitty went through plastic surgery because she was given to baby Ashley for her 1 month celebration! Whee!


When giving a softy to any child below the age of 3 (sometimes 4), do remember that there are not supposed to be any hard bits that can be detached (like eyes & noses), as kids like to put things in their mouths & chew on them. Sunkisst's tail had been sewn over 3 times!

$59 + $5 (embroidered eyes) + $5 (embroidered name)= $69

Molko, Charlotte's Twin/Brother/Sibling/Whatever.....

If it weren't for the obvious title, people would think that I like to repeat myself over & over again. This is Molko, brother of Charlotte, who was the very first SmeowlyCat (& SmeowlySockCat, as I have categorised them already... check out my Facebook page) ever made....

Should I call him version 2.0?


He hearts Gwen!


Molko is a present for Gwen. I sure hope she doesn't visit this blog. She hasn't received her pressie yet.....
Incidentally, he is not tagged/labelled, as he was made way before Moonshine.


Molko (Sock Cat 'M') - $69 + $10 (embroidered name x 2) + $5 (embroidered eyes) = $84
