Olympics & Cat Toy.

We just watched the Olympic gold metal game for men’s hockey, USA v. Canada. Canada won 3 to 2 in overtime, but what a game! These Olympics were so much fun, I am going to miss them.


So here is one of the things I *recently* made: a felt mouse. He was the initial test run for an idea I had, which was to make a mouse for each child in my daughter’s preschool class to let them take home after reading Santa Mouse. But, as per usual, that thing took me forever to make, and so I gave it to our cat Romeo. And he looooooooves it. Really, he can take or leave most toys, but for whatever reason, he’ll attack this thing and carry it around by the tail like it was a real mouse.

Back on Track.

I can’t believe the whole month of January went by without one blog entry... guess I’ll have to make up for it this month!

Here is a list of things I’ve been working on:

• yellow knitted summer bag from the book One Ball Knits Purses
• knitted hat from a pattern found at knittinghelp.com
• felt mouse for my cat from this blog

For some reason the knitting seems to be more appealing than the sewing these days. Maybe because of the chilly Chicago weather. And knitting is so much more portable.

Well, off to bed — and tomorrow (or within the week) I’ll get some photos of the above.
