Softies

We had a reasonable day weather wise last Thursday and with the two of us pulling weeds out for 2 hours we managed to fill a huge building sack up. Lots still to do though
Since then it´s been raining, heavy, drizzle, huge showers, but wet, wet wet, great for all the plants but not so good being holed up and the furries are using the house as a race track or finding themselves little hide aways to snooze.

I decided to make some soft toys for Theo
I don´t have many childrens fabrics in the stash, but I thought as long as they were bright, colourful and cheerful they would do the job



pentagon patchwork balls


A toweling softie with different textured ribbons, felt features and a little rattle inside



building blocks

It always amazes me just how much stuffing these little things take. I like to use just little pieces at a time as I find it prevents them being lumpy

Just have to continue making for now, saving them up ready to post.

We have just been locked down for a further 15 days, our kind neighbour ventured into town for provisions this morning and managed to get us some potatoes, broccoli, sprouts and spinach. But no cat food was to be had, luckily we had bought a huge bag of a cheaper version we don´t normally use
so they will have to put up with that for now.

take care

  1. Dear Chrissie
    I am sure Theo will love those toys. We are all going through such strange times and it is good to have hobbies such as crafting and gardening to help us through.
    Keep safe
    Best wishes

    1. Yes they are strange and difficult and for so many that don´t have hobbies I´m sure even more so. Take care xcx

  2. Such lovely toys, Theo will be spoilt for choice. We used to have a cat who was so fussy, he'd only eat certain food so I hope your cats don't turn their noses up at what's on offer.

    1. Rebecca sent a video yesterday of Theo holding a toy for the first time, little things that give great pleasure. The cats seem to be accepting the different food, keep swapping so they get used to it amongst their normal stuff but as you say cats are picky things xcx
