Lil' Miss Pretty Kitty!

I just finished this little kitten in a pink dress today.  I had picked up the cute vintage doll dress at an antique shop a few months ago.  It was sitting all forlorn amongst a pile of other doll clothes odd and ends.  I had started off making a bunny actually, but while waiting for the ears to dry decided to go with a kitten instead.:)  When I was younger we lived on a farm with dozens of farm cats.  One of the cats my sister and I named, Little Miss Friend Cat.  (I don't know why exactly)  But that is what came back to me as I made this one.  My sister and I loved all the cats and kittens and wanted to bring them all inside but my parents wouldn't allow it!  We only had one or two house cats, the rest had to tough it outside.  I have fond memories of my sister and I finding the newest litter of baby kittens in the straw barn and we would sit in there for hours just playing with them.  LOL, the momma cats hated it though, as they would then go hide them elsewhere after we left!

Today I made my 200th sale on Etsy!

Woo hoo!  Today is kind of a bench mark for me as today I made my 200th sale on etsy!  It was for a special order.  My customer wanted to give this to her Mom for Mother's Day in memory of a grey cat she once had.  How sweet!

My sales have slowed down considerably so I've returned to work.  Which I hate, but the bills need to be paid...  So with my return to work, it's taken its toll with me not being able to dedicate much time to my etsy shop or creating.  Depressing!:(

Here is a photo of the the little kitty I made that just sold.  It's pictured with this cute little baby mouse I made a week or so ago!:)

Time already for another little GIVEAWAY!

I found little Ms. Kitty one day on my regular antique hunts quite sometime ago.  I had seen these cute little Cody Foster & Co. boxes that I just thought were so cute and was inspired.  I "dressed" her up with a tiny little party hat and a bow with some flowers.  I made the base to display her on the other day.   I am going to give this little sweetie away to one of my blog readers!  She's a little sassy party cat!  This piece is about 4 1/2 inches tall and would look really cute tucked in a little niche somewhere special.  All you have to do in order to enter, is to comment on this post.  That's it!  I won't require you to blog about it or do anything else!:)

Thanks everybody for being such great friends!

Hugs,
Myko

PS) I'm doing the drawing on Sunday so I can mail her out on Monday! (3/29)
