Toulouse

So I FINALLY cut the pieces for the pleated beauty bag for the BTRS swap (there's one thing off my to-do list). I also decided to do a little block printing and screen-printing on some of the pieces. During all of this today, I had forgotten how much my cat, Toulouse, LOVES to craft and make art with me. He is fat and very fabulous and has a passion for fabric and paint just like I do. I think that is why we get along so great...similar interests. He keeps me company, and he is a pretty good critic, too. I often ask his opinion. If he has one, he answers with a sweet, "mrrrrow." That usually means, "stop what you are doing and give me a belly rub." At any rate, he was "helping" me cut the fabric by laying in the path of the scissors. To resolve this, I tied a bunch of scraps together and, VOILA!, great cat toy. Who needs expensive toys from big chain pet stores....my kitty just took the handmade pledge!
