Wedding Gifts for a Cat-Loving Couple

Hello all!

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

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

Moonshine the Lying Down Kitty

Hello there!

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.....

......& we wonder why he has to have a lie down........

.... 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.

TAG! He's it!

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

Oh dearie me... Here at Smeowlycats, we seem to be picking up quite a few orphans!! Here are the latest:

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
2) Embroidered Name - $5 per name

How Much Is That Doggy in the Window? (And Friends)

Ok, so he's not in a window of a shop... I super loved making this one though!! I think I especially like Daschunds because while I was growing up, my neighbours had one... a black Daschund called Dinah. She was a yappy little thing though, barking away at any & every passer-by.

Hmpf..

1) Embroidered Name - $5/name

Bye bye kitties... Off to New Home You Go

I sent these kitties on their way to their new home yesterday:

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!

I have got too many pictures of large-sized 'Got More Fish' Gang so I'm showing my handywork.

Another 'L' GMFG with a name on her tush.

I hope the new owners like them as much as I loved making them. :)

Sock kitties - $59
'Got More Fish?' Gang - $89

Additional:
1) embroidered eyes - $5
2) embroidered names - $5

More Homeless Kitties

The odd one out is the odd one homed (6, really.. She's called Loreta now). All the plaid/tartan kitties in this photo are homeless. I call 2 & 3 Sherlock & Watson as they are made out of more suiting material. 1 & 4 are flannel. 5 is shirting material. 6 can be re-made upon request as I still have the material.

Got More fish?
