Kleenex kitty for nice lady

Custom order: ginger kitty with tissues coming out the rear pie hole


---
Made one of my signature microsoft paint diagrams. 
---
---
Beans!
---
Back paws! (Instead of paws under like a cat sitting on glass. Making a flap was not intelligent design even if it would have been cute)
---
Front paws!
---
Loaf is finally done. Still needs his legs and under flap.
---
Back is done!
---
Pull!
---
---
---
Working on front. Something is not right. Hmmm.....I figured it out--ears were too far apart!
Kinda looks like salmon nigiri right now lol
---
Decided to just sew tissue box in place until it's further along
---


Removed those front feet that I hated. They will be too small anyway.
---
Loaf cat turkey leg set up
---
Checking overall shape. Will have to extend tail length 
---
Peach box = under lining, finished exterior will be cat shaped, not box shaped. Base of square will have under loaf paws like under a glass table as well.
---
Size 8, aran, 17 per side x 4 = 68, add a few extra and 72 = total round
Box: 4 3/8" x 4 3/8" x 5"'

Someone saw this ceramic orange cat tissue box cover on hubby's desk, and thus, request.

Cactuar for living room

Arms turned out a little too skinny but this one is staying at home so who cares.

Edit: Jul 29 2026 I have decided I don't want to do a zen garden. Will have to secure to base a different way. Enter box my new hairbrush came in and acrylic paint!
---
Ready to stand in its garden. Gonna make a fake zen garden to stand it in. Maybe a rake to counter balance it.
---
Right angle ends
---
Arms magic circle to 12, right angle ends. I debated doing the proper ridge texture with the arms too and decided heck no because i hate crocheting. 
---
From the....crotch...base, pick up 4 stitches, add on one stitch either side, and create each individual rib to go with each individual dowel. I ended up with 8 ribs.

 Magic circle crochet to 30 for...there is no other word for it, crotch.

Pick up and knit 3 + 1 on either side 

Because why not

Saekdong/색동 pillow for me

Want to sort of recall korean-american nostalgia from the 90s.

Next time I visit home I might have to dig through old photos to find pics of that kind of old decor I remember.

A modern, traditional motif style, but in the shape of a classic american throw pillow.

found a super old one in my photos under my sleeping dad's head (cropped)

Shape-wise:

Not maemil (sleeping pillow)

Not bangsuk (seat cushion)

Art-wise:

Not military stuff like a modern flag.

Not dancheong/straight up embroidery.

Something like a tricolor taeguk in a more modern setting, and still pretty, of course.



Swipey the glove dispenser

Edit Aug 2026: I guess I have to micro-crochet that half eaten apple and fish skeleton now that I totally forgot about doing
---

The boy is a tad bit special. Maybe a bit inter-species. Supposed to be a racoon but might be half lemur.
---
---

Trash panda glove dispenser
Hubby has been suggesting a racoon thing since I did the opossum thing. May add a half eaten apple and fish skeleton later 💀 

Orange triptych kitties

Not sure if it counts as a triptych since the sizing is the reverse of the usual larger middle. 
---
Currently drying after hubby shellac sprayed. Good ol zinsser.


---
We have a bizarre little partial wall feature in this house and got some painting inspiration from cheap things online to decorate it.

Joe's truck

Custom Order: "ratty old" truck or "radio" truck???

Joe, you never texted us that picture of your truck. Mrs. Joe, this is your sign. 

Desk ornament

Custom Order: A cute small thing to put on a desk (Requestor emailed me list of things about Recipient)

---
White horn-rimmed readers on top of the head like my 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. Tawlks. God knows what color her glasses are now but they were chunky white at the time.
---
You can really hear the evil laugh in this one
---
---
Gotta embroider the title on the book too but all the titles I want to do are too long. Maybe just "meow"
---
Having a heck of a time trying to get the glasses right. This outtake tells me I need to either buy doll parts, or keep trying to get it right.
---
Was the most excited for the book and the toe beans
Birds eye view of headless cat
---
Lower limbs were CO 12, dec each side until pointed, sew starting sides together and sew narrowing edge against the body. Upper limbs were the same CO 9
---
The first paw came out WAY better than the second one unfortunately but still v cute.
---
I think a triangle base helps sitting stuffed animals not fall over.
---
Peach color circle is a sizing thing, won't be visible upon completion
---
Elements: nice, soft, sage green, cat, glasses, book, reading!
Size: around 12oz soda can
---
Cute little piece to be given away mid-July. This one is actually commissioned so designed the pattern myself.
