Shopping

I purchased this 3rd book, I did want to make the cat, I have everything here accept the pattern, I did consider playing around with the patterns I have, to bodge a cat, but hubby said 'get the book', I don't need to be told twice. I am going to try something completely different on the cat body, bit of fun. 

These items are from the Luna Lupin website, I got the felt colour I wanted, some tiny button and as a treat for myself the felt and fur for Hamish the Highlander, sadly I did not read it correct, I have the materials but not the pattern. I can either wait until the book is released next year or make the fox and keep the fur, oh well lesson learnt, so I have plenty to keep me busy. 

I have also purchased these tiny shoes, I have knitted and sewn shoes before, they are fiddly and never look great, so these will finish each outfit. A shiny pair, pair of daps and 2 pretty pairs of shoes. 

I have spend a bit online, but only what I could not get from our local shop, their felt was thin, I went to the proper website as these will be toys which will be played with, so it's vital they are strong. I have also sorted loads of bits from my stash, which goes with my use what I have theme for this year. You can never makes anything completely with what you have, there is always something missing from your stash. I did try and ensure I got what I needed, because most online shops charge you postage, so a second order is not really a good thing. 

I have also ordered a component for each one I make, I am hoping they won't take long to arrive, but they are going to be worth waiting for, I am planning to make some clothes whilst waiting for the delivery.  

Now I have plenty to make, which is great as I have loads of time at home, I hope to make loads of clothes, they are all the same size, so clothes can be worn by any of them. I had though last year I would buy a plastic baby doll and make clothes for her, as I did for my own daughters, but making animals from scratch is way more fun, and probably no more expensive than the doll. I am hoping Molly will love them now and later as she is older and able to change the outfits. 

Rachel stop laughing at this post, I can hear your 'I told you so' comments, I hope you are feeling a bit better today.
