the blue blog archives: meeeeeooooow

That's the sound my daughter makes every time she sees blue kitty (sewn from this pattern) on my dresser. Poor blue kitty has been sitting on our dresser with pins holding its head closed and attached to its body for a year. In fact, I posted the picture of blue kitty in that state exactly a year ago today!

"Meeeeeoooooow," says wee one. I'd say, "Sorry, sweetie, you can't have blue kitty. She's has pins in her. Ouchies. Mommy has to finish making her." And then I'd forget. Bad mommy! Until Monday....

I had the blue thread out to work on a little dress I'm making for wee one right now and thought, now's the time to sew up blue kitty and give her to wee one. She has been meeoow-ing around the house ever since!

Doesn't it feel good to finish something we've wanted to finish for a long time?! Adorable story.

Definitely a cute little blue kitty. I would wander around meowing if I had one too!

That is one of THE cutest things I have seen in ages! Makes we want to dig the sewing machine out...but I know that would only result in a broken machine, frustration on my part, and NO super cute kitty!

Happy Wee One! Happy Kitty!
Yay for Mommy!
(And I'm glad I'm not the only one who puts things aside....we have a real new 'meow' and my younger daughter reminded me I started a Moebius cat bed for our other cat quite a while ago. Started? Almost done! It's just -- where did I put it? (I think I know where it should be; time to finish up the center and then felt, that's the fun part.) The floors are getting cold....

So cute! I can imagine her carrying it around and "meow"ing up a storm :)

Maybe you just didn't want an immature cat in your home, or any cat until you were ready. Meow.
