Cat Swap

No, I didn't send Milo away.  But I did participate in a craft swap where we sent each other handmade items for our cats.  The only store-bought toy my cat likes are little catnip mice.  So for my swap-partner, I made a little catnip bird.  I used this pattern I found on pinterest and just shrunk it down to cat-size.




From my partner, I also got some cute little cat toys.  She sewed some little fabric balls with pom-poms.  Milo has been quite pleased with them so far.

    Thanks! It was hard getting Milo to play when I wanted him to. As soon as I got out my camera, he would stop playing and stare at me. Silly cat.

    The bird that you made is great! Will you make more and add them to your shop? Milo is adorable, love the pic of him laying out on the floor playing. Wishing you continued fun with your friend and I look forward to seeing photo's of your tie dying!

    @Green Onion- I found it on Swap Bot. You can read about the swap here: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/91720

    This swap is closed, but I bet there might be another one at some point.
