Custom Kitties on Etsy!

Hey, y'all!

I've had tons of people asking about the kitties I made for my pal in OR, so I thought it'd be a good idea to put up a custom order listing in my Etsy shop.

Check it out and let me know what you think. And, ya know, if you wanted to order one, I s'pose that'd be okay, too.


Happy Friday!

The Whole Kitten Caboodle

Editor's Note: This post was originally entitled "The Whole Kitty Brood."  My mother-in-law pointed out the fact that I missed out on an amazing pun opportunity, so the title has since been changed.  :)

If you can't tell by now, I'm kind of proud of these little guys.  Here's a family picture, taken just before they left on their long journey home.


Good luck, guys.  I'll miss you!

Amigurumi Kitty Friend: Beige


Here's the third and final kitty in the brood that will be traveling across the country to live with their real life counterparts.  He's based on K's beige kitty, and I think I love him.  Just a little.  No, really.  I'll be okay when he moves on.  There comes a time in every momma's life when her kids grow up.  It helps that I know he's going to a good home.  :)







Like his brothers, this little guy stands about 6" to the crown of his head and is hand-crocheted using acrylic yarn.  His mouth is hand-embroidered using floss, and he has safety eyes and nose.

My kitties can be custom-ordered in any color combo.  Let me know if you're interested!

Amigurumi Kitty Friend: Calico


Here's the second kitty in the brood I'm trading on Etsy.  He's based on K's calico real-life cat.







Like his brother, this little guy stands about 6" to the crown of his head and is hand-crocheted using acrylic yarn.  His mouth is hand-embroidered using floss, and he has safety eyes and nose.

Amigurumi Kitty Friend: Orange

A friend recently asked me if I'd ever made an ami kitty.  I hadn't, but I was willing to give it a shot!  Here's my first attempt, very cleverly named Orange Kitty:






Not bad, for a first attempt, if I do say so myself.  This little guy stands about 6" to the crown of his head and is hand-crocheted using acrylic yarn.  His nose and mouth are hand-embroidered using floss, and he has safety eyes.

The really cool part is that this friend has an item I'm in love with on Etsy, so I'm trading her three kitties for some of her beautiful work.  All of the kitties I'm sending to her are based on her real-life cats.

This guy can be custom-ordered in any color combo.  Future versions will also feature safety noses, because - frankly - they're cute and I don't particularly enjoy embroidering noses.  The design will likely evolve a bit as I get more used to working with it, but the general idea will be based on this little cutie pie.
