black kitty cat

I made this black kitty cat recently as a custom request.


It was tough to work in black! Most of my creatures are super colorful.

Robots, kitties, and cupcakes from Cutesy but not Cutesy!

Hello Needle! This may or may not be my first post to the Needle...I have been a member for a while but have never seemed to have the time to make a decent post!

Here is my newest creation for a returning customer of mine. He asked me to create something that included robots, kitties, and cupcakes...how ever I wanted to handle those three things was up to me! I believe his intention is to eventually launch a website robotkittycupcake that is completely focused on his favorite artist's creations involving robots...kitties...and cupcakes...you got it! It's one of my favorites, I almost don't want to give him up! After all, what's better than a fella who carries around his stuffed kitty and has a cupcake heart???

Zoe and Francie Her Very Best Whimsy Kittie Friend

Zoe and Francie are our newest friends from the Whimsy Patch and they sure are glad to meet you. Zoe wants to show off her lovely new Geisha-esque hairstyle (done out of necessity when I ran out of fabric for the usual quick and easy fabric buns. I actually decided I like this better and might just do yarn and fabric combos more often!) and bow. She's also happy that spring is on the way because she can't wait to take long walks in the park with her best Whimsy Kittie friendy, Francie. In fact, they just went to this fabulous Whimsy boutique and purchased a new polka dot collar and leash for Francie. She must look smashing when she strolls amongst the cherry blossoms and dogwood trees.Zoe, in particular, wants you to know that she also weaves a beautiful basket and knows how to arrange freshly picked spring flowers with much elegance and grace. She even has her own basket shop where she sells her works of art. I've heard that she's so talented she can weave baskets in the shape of just about anything you can dream up. If you want to stop in and watch her work, she'll brew up a pot of jasmine tea and let you sip that while she goes about her work.

Francie wants to show you her aforementioned polka dot bow collar and leash! She's quite proud of her new purchase and cannot want to promenade through the parks--if only the sun would stay out more and the winter chill would finally retire itself until next year!Aside from taking walks, Francie has to find something to do while Zoe's busy at work in the basket weaving shop. She discovered a couple years back that she has an excellent eye for landscaping work and she does this in the Toadstool Forest of the Whimsy Patch. You cannot pass by some dollie or chap's toadstool without spotting some of Francie's fine work. Not only does she tend to the trees, bushes and blooms, but she also designs cobblestone paths, designs herb gardens, and constructs very elaborate hanging flower arrangements. I would quite love to have Francie come to work in my yard, but her waiting list is too long! I guess I will have to settle for the occasional hanging arrangement.
