Working hard to get right

I have been neglecting my blog yet again this past couple of weeks. However, rather than laziness, this time I have had reason. I recently lost a dear member of my family - my cat Moomin. She passed away unexpectedly two weeks ago of a heart attack. As a result we needed to make a quick decision and opted to get a kitten to keep out 4 year of tom, Garfield company. So a lot of change all round. Excuse my indulgence - but this is Moomin and Garfield just chillin' (she's the black and white one btw lol).


And this is the little critter we got a week or so ago. The Tiny Terror known as Hera (yes she is a bitch like Zeus' wife too).



Whilst it has been as sad time I have kept myself busy with work and with crafting! Managed to start getting on top of my Folksy store and stock counting. Making up a few new plushie designs which I am looking forward to starting. So with change there comes determination! Oh and I got myself hooked on Twitter. So between Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest all I need is Google+ and YouTube and I'll have this busy covered on all social media forums :D

So here are a few of my recent make and creations (some of which are in my Folksy store LOL).

  2. Aw, poor Moomin (and poor you). So sorry, but I hope the new kitten will make you smile a lot.

    Cute little owls - lovely - and the monsters look fab all together like that!

  3. Your new kitten looks lovely... I suspect you will be kept rather busy in the coming weeks, saving your crafts from four pawed inspection!

  4. Sorry to read about Moomin. Non-pet people don't always understand that it's like losing one of the family, especially when they've been with you a long time. Glad you've got a new baby, though good company for you and Garfield. Thanks for popping over and joining my happy band of followers. Chris

  9. Sorry to hear about Moomin :( We lost our cat, Molly, just before Christmas and it took a bit of getting used to without her. Your new little kitten looks like she is going to be a real scamp! I hope she gets on well with Garfield. I love all the little characters you have made, I think my favourite is the fluffy owl, he's so cute!

  13. Sorry about Moomin, it's not easy to deal with the loss of a much loved pet but it looks like you have now got your hands full again.
    I don't tweet but I hear it can become addictive!! I'm loving your felt monsters, they are so neat.

    Take care
