Pictures of things done, made, cooked, tried and failed, started and not finished, often with cats holding up the process. Sometimes just pictures of cats. Cats are so helpful.

Fairy Costume

My hair cut is screaming fairy this year, so I guess it is back to the
old fall back. Definitely need a new version though. I was tired of
the old one with the big wings and all the plastic leaves glued all
over it. This may be the most comfortable costume yet. I am
deconstructing my mad hatter costume from two years ago to create this
one. T-shirt costumes are the way to go.

CAT bag

I didn't catch the cats on the project with the camera, but CAT ended
up permanently on the bag. I have been making these for other people
for the last 2 years. I think this one is mine.

Braz

Is finished.

Tediousness

The gold shiny fabric I had on hand to make the beak and feet of the
our Braz is about 9 or 10 years old. I have used it in other projects
but this is the first time I am using it with this machine. Between
the age and the fact that my light weight needles are all broken so I
am using a medium/heavy weight needle, after nearly tearing the fabric
through and getting it jammed down into the needle hole several times
over, I am slowly hand sewing the feet, lining the seam with Bom Fim
tape that was handy next to the table. Remind me to never again forgo
buying extra needles and to never again use this fabric for small
detail pieces.
