lots and lots of fish

Posted on by

This past week(+) has been all about the fish. Back in August I cut out a whole LOT of fish pieces and then sewed up about half of them. This week, I put together the rest.

That involves a great many color decisions which can be the best fun or very frustrating depending on the color, fabrics, my mood, the light… Anyway, by Friday, I had 34 fish sewed up. I picked out 8 to finish up- stuffing and the hand sewing. The rest will go in a bin and when I am in a fish-y mood, I will have lots to choose from!

Plain orange (hand-dyed and not exactly evenly) kitty, carrying a backpack and smoking a pipe.

He has a long-sleeve sweater which made fitting the jacket a bit of a challenge.

And here is what he has in his pack- supplies for a day out and walking. The folded up paper is a map.

An all black kitty but I made her some super bright clothes so she won’t blend in anywhere!

We are expecting some real snow tomorrow- seems like the first time this winter! Not that I actually miss it but it is pretty weird having a January with hardly any weather under freezing.
