New Listings This Week from The Cat Rack and Catcalls


I was in a Mermew mindset at the beginning of the week!


Mermew blouse - everything is painted free hand. 


Mermew skirt - this sold after a day, so the blouse is all by itself now!



I created my own hand painted fabrics this week, this pocket being one of them. I thought it looked good on the gray fleece, so I made this sweatshirt tank top. 


This little jacket is made with a lovely pink linen - cotton blend fabric. I love the color!


And here is the other fabric I created and listed as fabric! One large fat quarter and one smaller piece about 6" x 7". These are made from a white cotton sheet - vintage sheet, I should add. Vintage sheets seem to be thicker.

So that's a little of what I accomplished this week! How did you do?

It's a MerMew!

I am a happy member of the Etsy for Animals team. Every month there is a new challenge theme that members may enter. July's theme is “In the Deep Blue... a great month to display Oceanic & Sea-fluenced products"
Well, I was kind of at a loss, as well as busy with other things, so put it off.  But yesterday I told myself I MUST get SOMETHING in!  So as I sat outside and ate my lunch, this is what emerged from the depths - of somewhere! So I drew her up, pieced her together, stuffed her and TADA! 

MerMew! 


MerMew is all cotton with a felt face, embroidered with that simple innocent face.





She even has a tail because...well...because mews have tails! 

MerMew is presently guarding my Catcalls shop!
