Valentine Kitty cat doll

I love working with felt and wool....it feels good.  So soft and cozy.

It is also very forgiving...easy to fix if you made a goof.

I particularly like to use up my scraps...I hoard them away like a squirrel.

I know its late for Valentine's...but I figure....better late than never (or next year!)

This is "Love U...Kitty cat pattern" #351

Isn't this the Cat's meow?  Celebrate Valentine's day with this sweet kitty cat doll... made from chenille stems, felt and wool. This project is easy, quick, and makes a great gift. It is also purrfect for your holiday decor!

I love to use chenille stems....especially the kind with the bumps.

This pattern is in my Etsy shop

in my Patternmart

and if you want a printed/mailed pattern..it is on my website.

I used my old chocolate box for background decor...I love those boxes!

The kitty Cat measures: 6" tall from head to bottom

7 1/2" tall if including dangling legs

She doesn't have to be for Valentine's day....she could be made up in any color...holding something else.

I think her holding a banner between both hands would be super cute!

*******

My husband wanted to know if I wanted to go out on Valentine's day for dinner or he would cook at home....I chose his wonderful Lasagna...he is a great cook...corn and red lobster cheese biscuits.

I will be in heaven and so will our daughter.

I just can't stand the crowds on these holidays....not my idea of fun.

Do you go out or stay in?

I am glad it is on Saturday this year!
