look what i did today!

for this



.







.

i started out tracing a pattern on construction paper
pinned it on some felt and cut
sort of wung it with the embroidery
she's stuffed with plastic grocery bags!
i was trying to think of something around the house so i wouldn't have to go anywhere
and recycling is always good
russell said if i didn't like how it worked i could always let the bag out of the cat
har har
but it worked really well
i have to say i'm pretty pleased with myself

.

and my inspiration

i've had this one since forever
my great aunt who lived in brooklyn gave her to me when i was small
i think it was her
i remember the dark hallways and heavy doors and buzzers with intercoms to let you in
and my grandmother's fancy patterned peppermints in glass dishes
but i think it was my great aunt who gave me the little cat
she's always been my favorite

late night cookies
the batter was in the fridge from new year's eve
i thought i'd better go ahead and bake them before it was too late!
i feel a little guilty cause russell's asleep and they're so good warm
they're kind of like a brownie but they're a cookie so every bite's got crust
and there's molten chocolate chips too
mmm
