Thursday Thanks

Mom had her first sewing lesson this week. She's had the machine for almost a year and it's started collecting dust! So she finally came to her senses and contacted a friend who gladly showed her the tips and tricks to using a sewing machine.  Considering this was her first time ever getting hands-on experience, she of course made something simple but yet cute.
They had some fabric laying around that caught her eye: black and white kitties with their tails together. How cute!

Up close of the blanket, sideveiw

See the little kitties?
And here is the blanket, which is tiny but yet cute and snugly.
The blankets were made for us of course, so mom couldn't resist....


Sherlock

Do you see the look on my face?

Okay, this is kinda warm. I think I like it.
 Ash enjoyed 'hiding' her little gray nose under the blanket....

Can they see me?

I'm feeling warm and snuggly here.

Traveler enjoyed the blanket too, but in the last picture he did something....
If I may say so myself, I'm finding this
to be the most comfortable blanket
But I have to do something funny to ruin mom's
flashy box spree.


                           And so did Sherlock....


Are my eyes crossed yet?

The blanket is covering my whole body so
I appear quite small in this shot.

  5. You kitties are the best for letting Mom drape that blankie over you. We would not have stood for that. That is a nice blanket and nice of the mom to make that for all of you first of all. Take care.

  7. Hey Sherlock, Hey Ash, Hey Target, Jet here.

    Whoo hoo, we're mighty impressed over at Casa Jet. My human sister had a sewing machine for a while and she made a few items for Koko and I. Mom enjoys knitting and needlepoint when she has time, however, she never got the hang of sewing...

    Your feline accessories are super cool and super comfy looking... keep going!

  12. They look great, and I love the fabric. I have learned a lot about sewing and know it's best to start with simple square shapes at first (ask me how I know, LOL) Nice job!
