I had lots of fun crafting up items for my partner and best of alls he was really appreciative and liked them.
She mentioned her love of the lion and the lamb. While I'm not religious, the cause of peace is powerful for me and so I wanted to try and do a hoop on this theme for her.
I found the design as a silhouette online, and adapted it to make a blackwork cross stitch. I like how it turned out, and my partner was thrilled.
Next I needlefelted a black cat with white face in a simple stout shape. She was cute, but somehow needed more. I tried adding the tail, which didn't help much. I thought she might be a good pin cushion and then wondered about a more stable base. Which led me to think of putting her in a mini cardboard box, because cats love boxes. The box, with paisley tape and "cats <3 boxes" totally made it!
Looking for materials to make some coffee cup cuffs I came across some children's placemats in a kind of foamy rubber at the dollar store. Turns out super easy to cut and paint, makes a great medium I will use for many things to come. I carved a little kitty stamp and made these.
Finally, I tried a couple little kitty cross stitch pendants. They would be better with smaller aida fabric but my hands and eyes don't work for finer mesh lol.
And a couple little cat artist trading cards for fun extras!
