I like the aesthetics of Easter better than any other holiday we celebrate here in Sweden. I love how bright and happy everything looks right now, with spring around the corner… And the best part is decorating an Easter Tree. Do you do that? It’s so easy to buy (or pick) a few birch twigs, […]

I love cats! Don’t you? I’ve made some cat crafts through the years: cat blanket, cat basket, etc.
Smilla’s quilted cat blanket
Quilted cat blanket – because all cats need one! Right? While I made a couple of log cabin pillows this autumn I started to add the scraps and uncut pieces together at random. When I had two big pieces I sewed them together and made quilt for my cat Smilla. I wanted to create a […]
Cat Softies for Everyone
In the begining of the summer I made lots of small cats from a pattern I created – do you remember them? Here they are again, some of them still hanging out in my book shelf: Why are they still living with me? They want to explore the world! What are you waiting for? Don’t […]
How to Sew a Cat Bed
When we brought Smilla the cat home the first time I realized that we didn’t have a bed for her. We got the climbing pole, the cage, the food, the toilet, the sand, a comb, the grass and a bowl to grow it in, toys, the cat and even cat candy… But no basket! It […]
Gifts and inspiration
Around Easter this year my friend Christina became 30 years old. I gave her a big package with lots of things inside. Handmade stuff too, like the crocheted scarf and the third pointy kitty I’ve made (the first one was for me and the second one was a present too). This softie kitty was blue, […]
A Second Hand Cat
Blogger’s and their cats

A friend for my Pointy Kitty Sunshine
I got a pattern for a softie called Point Kitty. It is so cute and I wanted to sew it straight away of course… I called my mom the day before my brother came to visit us. This was our conversation on the phone; – Do you know what? I’ve sewn a kitten! – Nooo, […]
Pointy kitty Sunshine
I’ve made a Pointy Kitty using a free pattern I found online. It’s SO cute, don’t you agree? And as I suspected as soon as I saw this pattern, lots and lots of more cats are being created right now! I can’t wait for Hillary’s softie toy pattern book that will have a few more […]
Wee sweetie
I’ve crocheted this little sweetie! I think it’s a cat, mom says it’s a bear and my brother don’t know. What do you think? Related PostsEmbracing the Mistakes Sock monkey history Green wrist warmers with an edge
