Miss Kitty loves her cats!

This is one of the many reasons that I love cats!

Where's the Groom?

Here comes the bride......

where's the groom? Maybe he's in the church thanking the minister for the ceremony......well, anyway, no worries about being the "belle of the ball" wearing this gorgeous skirt/jacket combo.

Wedding outfit available at Tattered Rose.

For the Love of Bears

When I was a kid, I often had nightmares about bears...the big black bears that would be coming to get me, walking on their hind legs, front paws reached out as if to pick me up and bite my head off or something. I would wake up shaking in my boots....ok, I wasn't wearing boots but you get the picture.

The hand-made bears that my friend, Kristina makes and sells are nothing like those enormous, scary creatures that stalked me in my dreams. Hers are cute and cuddly and gorgeous. Here's a picture of one wearing what I would call a vintage-looking bed jacket. Adorable!!

Check out her blog at http://www.kristinabears.blogspot.com/

and maybe add a few of her adorable bears to your collection, or start a collection for your children.

Designer Kitty

Whenever I lay out black fabric on my cutting table, my darling little Luna always has to lay on it. It must remind her of her birth mother, or maybe she just really likes the colour black. Of course, when I am doing new designs for Tattered Rose, I don't allow any of my feline friends in the room with me...just in case any of my customers are allergic to cats.
