Happy Hump Day!

I finished two super cute cuties this week so far!  It's been a long while since I made a kitten and I had so much fun making one again for the shop.  I took several pictures of her "dressed" up with accessories I had on hand.  This little kitty reminds me so much of a stuffed toy cat I recieved from my Aunts in Japan when I was little.  I loved that stuffed toy and I had it for many years.  It also reminds me of Duchess from the Disney Movie, "Aristocats". :)

Here she is with her little crown and rose... (yes, for some reason these little cuties make me revert to an eight year old again, LOL!  But I am having so much fun.  When I was taking pictures I was in Marina's room and I kept laughing at myself as I took them.  Marina looked at me like I was crazy.:)

I have this other idea thats been bouncing around in my head for a while.  I made a little white rabbit holding a tiny antique bottle with "drink me" in reference to "Alice In Wonderland".  But, the rabbit didn't turn out very cute and I scrapped the idea.  Here is a pic of the kitty with it.:)  I still like the idea so I think I will try to make it again soon!

The other cutie I finished is a little mouse sitting on a mushroom reading.  I think this one is the cutest I've made so far! 

A little story behind this design is that a few years ago, my daughter Sierra wanted my help in creating a book fair poster for school.  And so "a little mouse sitting on a mushroom reading a book" was born.:)  On the poster we had a little flower that was a "reading lamp".  It was very cute!
