Flora
Ok I'm back on track already finally! Yesterday during Oscar's nap I was able to finish up one of the three kitties I've had cut out and partially made up since before the bunnies. I'd like to try to pass this off as my self portrait for month of softies. But I wasn't a kitty and my mom NEVER dressed me in pink. I named this gal Flora because of the bright pink and so of course the other two kitties will have to be Fauna and Merryweather. The hot pink is a soft fuzzy angora sweater all felted up and the dress is made from some awesome vintage fabric that Melissa sent me a while back.

Flora is kittylicious!!! Ever since I first saw them on Gertie I just can't get enough of your softie's shoes. I wish I had their shoe collection for myself! :)

I don't see anything wrong as passing yourself off as a kitty. I really wanted to be a bunny when I was a kid. : )

Boy, when you get back on track, you go all out, don't you? Overachiever! Flora is really, really gorgeous, but I'm glad she isn't a self portrait; otherwise, I would have to recommend you see a dermatologist for that hot pink rash.

I love your site!
You are supremely talented.
If I pay you, will you make me a fuzzy pink angora sweater? Stocking cap?
HA HA. Please ignore my cheeky requests. I really do enjoy reading and seeing your fabulous crafts!

What a fantastic use for that fabric! She's lovely!
I've been terribly scatterbrained and my envelope for you has been sitting on my sewing table, all addressed and everything, and I keep forgetting to bring it with me when I leave the house! Gads. Tomorrow!

Stop the cuteness! I can't take it anymore! She is such a sweetie. And her dress is wonderful.
