VT Balsam, catnip napper

Fall is almost here, and the cats are all talking... "where am I going to sleep?", "they can't possibly think I could sleep on a floor, like a common dog", "I hope they realize I will be on the kitchen counter until spring". Have no fear! VT Balsam has the solution... catnip nappers! Even if they wouldn't gravitate toward these cute little recycled wool kitty quilts on their own, they have organic catnip within to seal the deal! For more info, check out their website.

Recycled wool pattern week - Lucy's Locket

This week's wooly fun theme is recycled wool patterns! This is it... the opportunity to make some of these goodies that you've been admiring, but afraid to attempt on your own! Mother's Day is right around the corner.... the perfect time to WOW your mother with something cool that you made yourself, didn't spend a fortune on, and made a green difference (recycled material, buying from hardworking small business, using natural materials). This first pattern would make a fabulous Mother's Day gift! If you have no idea where to get wool sweaters for these projects I know this really cool chick that sells them in her Artfire shop ;)

I have featured my friend Lucy's fabulous critters before. She makes amazing animal pincushions that are even more fabulous in person. I know because I have one of her adorable squirrels and love it! What I am featuring today is her pattern, so you can make one of these critters yourself! She currently is offering her fabulous Sleeping Kitty E-Pattern in her Etsy shop, Lucy's Locket, but I heard rumors that there will be a sheep one soon too! Woolina is excited!

Recycled Wool Animal Week, Freedom Rainbow

It was starting to look like bunny week for while there, eh? This should mix it up! Here is a taste of the wonderful & magical creatures that reside in Freedom Rainbow's Etsy shop, Yodelling Swiss Alpine Gorilla, Tater Buggins, and small Space Kitty. Aren't they cool?
