Yesterday, some friends in my building organized an afternoon pop up and I pull all the goodies out for a show.
It was a fun afternoon, meeting some new people and chatting with friends. The fish were on another sofa and I forgot to take their photo. I made some new ones because the Holiday season had left my stock depleted. Here are the first 2-
A pink fish and a red fish.

The last photo is my newly rearranged studio. I am surprised to realize that I didn’t make any Tiny Worlds this year. I also want to make some more dogs. I will start posting some 2026 pieces soon!
Thank you to everyone who comes and visits my blog, who supports my work, who cheers me on. It means the world to me.
While I was working on him, I was thinking that he looked like a serious business cat. Maybe it is the dark grey wool flannel.
I gave him a tie, not a bow tie, because he is serious!
And now you can see his vest- I am pretending it is fair isle knit :-)
Is anyone watching Game of Wool on YouTube? I know there has been a lot of hate directed toward it, but I am especially enjoying seeing what the knitters are wearing. It is inspiring me!
This fellow is my 97th of the year. I am going to try to finish 3 more things next week so I can get to 100!
She is a bit fancy.
She has a cashmere cardigan and shawl. And a very sweet purse.
I believe he is a naturalist. He wanders in nature but don’t worry, he won’t get lost. He has a map in his backpack.
He has a corduroy jacket and a cashmere scarf.
He has a woodsy vest too.
Here are some close-ups of his backpack- it is dark green in case that isn’t clear.
He is a city fox, not from the woodland.
He has a flower in his lapel, a pocket square, and a Liberty floral shirt.
I think her acid yellow (green?) corduroy jacket is the cutest!
Why yes, I did cut up a shirt of mine that I never wore and turned it into little animal clothes.
And a backpack on her back.
A kitty in a kitty print dress- So so cute!
Here sweater has some special antique buttons- they have 3 holes.
Her bag-
She is hanging out in the window, just like our real cats do!
She has a basket full of flowers.
She has a fuzzy nose and sweater! The sweater has little antique shell buttons. The sweater is a very pale yellow.
More orange but this time it’s a kitty!
Everything a dapper cat needs. Well, except maybe pants…
Some hanging around pics, since that is what cats like to do best.
