HEIRLOOM WEDDING CAKE TOPPER

We inherited many beautiful and special crochet patterns from Grandma Cat. When Baby Cat saw this one, she just couldn't resist the adorbs and knew she had to make one for her wedding cake! 

Recognize these two cuties?
It looks like someone turned Baby Cat and Fiancé Cat into crochet dolls again!
Baby Cat crocheted the whole thing using Aunt Lydia's crochet thread, then blocked each piece and used a fabric stiffener to make them hold their shape. Baby and Fiancé Cat's wedding colors are represented in the royal blue satin ribbon and delicate silver beads, as well as the tiny bouquet. Momma Cat and Baby Cat combed the entire floral department at the JoAnn's Superstore in search of miniature blue and white flowers, only to find this perfect ready-made bouquet in the scrapbooking section!

This is the original picture from the book, Baby Cat altered it just a bit to fit her and Fiancé Cat's wedding style


Mini Fiancé Cat has curly blond doll hair. Baby Cat tried brown curly doll hair on her own miniature but it proved too poofy and unruly when she tried to style it (just like Baby Cat's Hair can sometimes be in real life!) so yarn hair seemed like a better option. Mini Baby Cat's hairstyle is very similar to the one she plans to have at the wedding

The whole thing is 6'' in diameter and 7'' tall and cuter than stuffing!

CELEBRATE CYBER MONDAY WITH CORALINE!


If you are doing your online shopping for Cyber Monday,  don't forget to check out Baby Cat's Etsy and Ravelry shops! She has several cute patterns for sale; the perfect thing if you are doing handmade gifts for the holidays, or if you just want to give your favorite crocheter a pattern and some yarn as a gift.

Baby Cat's original Coraline doll pattern just went on sale. You could be the first to add Coraline to your holiday gift list! This Coraline doll is super easy to make and includes a removable raincoat with a hood so she is all set for adventures, no matter what the weather brings! (Note: don't actually take her in the rain, but use your imagination!) You could even have fun adapting the pattern to look like someone you know, then give them the doll as a gift! Personalized gifts are the best!

JACK IS GETTING INTO THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT....ARE YOU?

It's about that time of year again...as soon as Halloween is over, monsters turn into elves and Jack Skellington and his friends begin their preparations to take over Christmas! This Jack Skellington doll found a good home at the St. Agatha Holiday Bazaar over the weekend, but that doesn't mean he is gone for good...

If you would like a Jack Skellington Santa doll of your very own, Baby Cat is selling her original pattern on Ravelry and in our Etsy shop. Or, if you are not a crocheter yourself, we also take special orders! Just comment below or email us at kayassunta@gmail.com to place an order. But beware, we can only fill a limited number of orders by Christmas!

ROMEO, OH ROMEO!

I found this wonderful little guy wandering around looking kind of lost.  His name is Romeo, and he's so little and sweet, you just have to love him.

As you can see, Romeo is very tiny, and has a big heart.  He is under my protection, because our little Midna Cat would probably like to terrorize him.  We can't have that, now can we?

THE ULTIMATE OREGON DUCKS FAN CAT

Okay, this cat just showed up on my doorstep a few days ago.  It was an average looking cat, nothing special about it.  But, it demanded to be let in.  It said that it was a sibling of Tangerine, Pepper, and the rest of the gang.  So I thought, why not?  So I let the little fellow in. Big mistake!



He wouldn't tell me his name, but the next thing I know, he's declaring himself the ULTIMATE OREGON DUCKS FAN cat!  Then he locked himself in our bathroom and died his fur green and yellow!  On game day, he donned this little teeny-tiny Ducks t-shirt and insisted that we let him watch the game with us!  Imagine his disappointment when I explained that we DON'T have cable and the BEST we could do is listen to the game on the radio! Oh, and then he opens his backpack and brings out this perfectly adorable little duck, who was a lot quieter and better behaved, I can tell you!

I have to say, the cat was very obnoxious throughout the game.  He caterwauld  every single time the Ducks had the ball, no matter what happened.   You should've seen him when the Ducks won the game!  He was literally climbing the curtains!

Needless to say, this cat, and his little ducky friend are being shipped out ASAP!  My Big Sister Cat in Hawaii wants me to send them to her.  I'm not sure the cat deserves it, but the duck does.  Anyway, I'm going to do it, if anything just to get some peace and quiet back in this place!

I'd still like to know where the heck that cat got his little, teeny, tiny Ducks t-shirt????

ST. AGATHA HOLIDAY BAZAAR 2013

Every year about this time I start talking about the St. Agatha Holiday Bazaar.  This will be the fourteenth year that Baby Cat and I have participated!!!  Believe me, we are just as excited this year as we were the very first time.  Only, hopefully, we are a lot wiser.  

Both Baby Cat and I make things we think everyone will enjoy seeing.  We try to keep our prices reasonable so that all of our items are affordable for people that really WANT to own them.  

We hope you will stop by the Holiday Bazaar this year to see our creations, AND to meet us, if we haven't already met .  

Here's the Bazaar flyer with all the details.  Please feel free to tell everyone you know about it.  The more the merrier, we always say!  



Even though it's early, Happy Holidays!  From the Cat Family.
