we found a new kitty and a new hobby

I am going to try to dress up Leia's clothes.I got the Idea off of E-bay. They are selling appliqued clothes from 60-200 bucks each . I figured I could do this, so we went to Joe Ann fabrics and had fun picking out fabrics and applique's. I spent like 70 dollars,but enough to make 6-8 different out fits.These pictures are just the first steps of cutting and arranging and pinning. They will be cut down to better size and sewed on. I have a matching penguin bow coming in the mail that I won on E-bay that will match this perfectly.
The pictures don't do this one Justice.But it still needs work. I bought cow girl fringe and some fancy buttons to add to this one.It looks so cute. I send better pictures later.
Yes E-Bay is addictive. I have bought Leia a ton of bows. So many that Chris thinks I've gone nuts. But we found Kitty #3. She has her old one that she has had from birth and this is what it looked like new,as you can tell Scratchy eye kitty has definitely been loved. Like the velveteen rabbit story I believe this one will become real. If you don't know that story its a great one for the kids or grand kids. It's one of our favorites. See big bow on Leia's head.

Can you believe that these are the same kitty. A few million snuggles and kisses and he too will look like the old one.This is Leia's favorite toy in the whole entire world. As you can tell we have to take it everywhere. I thought she'd have a fit when in Pre-K they said no toys allowed but she adjusted well. SO now in kindergarten she knows that it sits in mommy's car or snuggled in her bed carefully covered up until she gets home.
I want to keep this one pristine so We can give it to Leia's children. It is so hard to find this cat. We have looked for years.Thanks to E-bay we found it. We Didn't even bid on it just bought it out right. It was worth the full price. I hope everyone had a good weekend. love always.
