Seed Stitch Scarf Bunnies

Hello!




This trio is the first part of a hopefully successful series of bunnies that I like to call the Seed Stitch Scarf Bunnies for the very simple reason that they are bunnies with seed stitch scarves.



First we have Alice, the sweet little girl of the bunch. 


Next we have James, the rowdy little boy with an earful of stars and a brain full of mischief. 


And finally Basil, the calm and quiet boy who makes sure James doesn't do anything too stupid. 

They are all up for adoption on my Etsy and would be delighted to be scooped up as late holiday gifts (don't lie, we all need some) or as a perfect gift for a baby shower. I will most likely be making more of this cuties, so keep your eyes peeled. In the meantime, have a wonderful week and if I don't talk to you before the 31rst, have a fantastic new year!

Gifts gifts gifts

Hello!

Now, before I start, can I just say that I know that Christmas is not all about presents and all that, it's about family and happiness and yes I know that. But that is precisely why I just spent the last three weeks making a lot of things for my friends and family. I'm just going to show you what I made for my friends because I'm pretty sure that they don't check this blog.




First, a hat made of thick super chunky yarn. I didn't think it would need bigger needles than what I had, so I fought my way through the whole thing but it worked out. In true Blue Cat Creations fashion, I made it up as I went along. 




 Next, a tricolored scarf. This took much longer than expected, but I really enjoyed making it. Very simply, just cast on about thirty stitches (I can't remember exactly) and made 4 row stripes.

I just included this picture cause I thought it was really cool.


Up next, a present I made for a Secret Santa I'm going to tomorrow. I made a batch of cookies (and ate approximately half) then put as many as I could in a cardboard cylinder that is supposed to be used for shipping paper things. I lined the inside with aluminum and put the cookies in it. Cookies, cardboard and a Sharpie snowman: easiest Secret Santa gift ever.


And these pretty cards that I found yesterday. 

I also bought a bunch of presents (by a bunch I mean like three or four not fifty) but these are the handmade ones. 

Happy Holidays my friends and it's almost winter break, we can do it.
