New cat toy prototype finished. Now to see if it's Cringer-approved!

Finished! I think they look really cool. Bonnie's searching for a free use pattern now so I can make some for the store.

Almost finished with the barefoot sandals! :) Now I need to find a similar pattern that's actually free use so I can put them in the Etsy store. They came out really well. And I'm making a lot of progress on a prototype for knitted arm warmers. Also still need to finish the "Simplify" piece for Jamy.

So far the Dr. Who bookmarks seem to be getting the most interest. Stitching up several examples will be next on my project list!

After I get caught up on my current projects I'm gong to stitch up some of my bookmark patterns

And in other news, I purchased more frames, so I'll be mounting and editing the pages for some of my cross stitch pieces in the next week or so.

I crocheted a cat toy for Cringer last night, he really seems to like it. I'm going to make a few more prototypes and put them up on the Etsy store, see how they do.

Other projects in progress are the "Simplify" cross stitch piece for Jamy, barefoot goddess sandals for Bonnie, and alpaca arm warmer prototypes for Uncle Bill. Any new cross stitch patterns will probably have to wait until I can afford a full license for the pattern software, it's just too time consuming by hand.
