Cafetière Cozy

One of the things my husband and I enjoy very much is reading - preferably on our comfy sofa, with a nice hot beverage, and some soft music playing in the background. Pure bliss. We can spend hours like this, in comfortable silence, totally absorbed in our respective books...

It's not unusual that our tea or coffee turns cold in the meantime! I decided to make a cozy to fit around the cafetière - a small, single one, since only hubs drinks coffee - in a cheerful kitty print. I simply measured the height required and the circumference and added seam allowances. It is very easy to make and closes with velcro at each tab end.

Wishing everyone a relaxing weekend!

 

Handy little zip pouch

Here's a variation on my standard zip pouch. These are fun to make, and the square shape is perfect for embellishments. I like the mint/pink/black colour-combination. The main fabric features tiny stars and dots, and I appliquéd a felt flower badge on the front. It measures approx. 18 cm (7 inches) square, with the bottom corners boxed in to make it stand upright on it's own.

Hello, my name is Sumi

May I introduce myself? I'm called Sumi, and the humans say I'm a small, but elegant cat with very good manners. Plus I'm smart. I overheard the humans talking about me recently. Something about me moving all the way from one end of Germany to the other end! I don't mind so much, because I know Duni will be there waiting for me. I know she loves me just as much as my mommy does! And there's a nice terrace to sunbathe on, lots of room to play, and a nice garden too! So, what's the hitch? Well, looks like I'm going to have to share my new home with another cat! I asked Duni to send my some photos, so that I could see what my future roomie looks like. His name is Sammy. He's a mancat. Personally, I prefer active, sporty types... Sammy, lazing about... Sammy, drinking water straight from the tap So, what do you think? Are we going to be friends? Happy Sunday!
