Here are today’s fleece Hug Me Bunnies, in cream and light camel.
The light camel one came out extra squishy. I was giving him some extra squeezes while I was sewing him.
I will be posting my new handmade stuffed animal toys in our Ruffing’s shop.

Fleece Hug Me Bunnies, handmade stuffed animal toys
Someone asked yesterday if I had fleece Hug Me Bunnies in more colors. Yes, I do! I have so many colors of everything, and so many art toys in all stages of being, or almost-being. I am also currently making custom toys. I am hoping to have more of a selection of ready-made toys before the holidays are upon us. I will be posting my new handmade stuffed animal toys in our Ruffing’s shop.
I finished this lavender bunny rabbit, and this soft yellow one, and I am working on some more. I’ve been asked about more Hug Me Toads too, and I hope to have some ready soon, along with more Alley Cat Angels. Toy-making is a slow process for me, because I do a lot of my stitching by hand, with embroidery floss and a needle. I think that makes my art toys look special and handmade, which I appeals to me.
I found I was being watched by real animals yesterday, while photographing stuffed animals. This rabbit was watching me photograph a fleece kitten.
Santana the Peeping Tom Cat was watching me too, far from the rabbit though. He is more interested in spying on us, apparently.
Pink kitten, gray kitten
I photographed this afternoon’s pink Hug Me Kitten in front of our neighbors purple-pink crape myrtle. I will be posting my new handmade stuffed animal toys in our Ruffing’s shop for now.
As I mentioned yesterday, I also photographed Siren’s brother, Sasquatch, this past weekend. Here he is in all his adorableness.
I had so many to choose from, that I had to narrow them down, which was hard.
Sasquatch is so named due to his great big feet. He has extra toes on his front feet and his back feet! Update: Sasquatch has been adopted.
Purple Hug Me Slug Wednesday and more kittens, including one named Wednesday
I finished two new purple Hug Me Slugs this afternoon. One is purple with a soft yellow heart,
and the other is dark purple with a light turquoise heart. Both are made of fleece. I am continuing on my mission to keep adding art toys to our shop. I will be posting my new handmade stuffed animal toys in our Ruffing’s shop.
I took a field trip to Marie’s house this weekend to take some photos of her foster kittens. Marie trapped and rescued these babies. These are the Addams Family kittens, Gomez,
Pugsley,
Wednesday,
and Morticia.
Gomez is looking particularly angelic here. All four are super friendly and playful, and obviously, very cute.
The rescue, Alley Cats and Angels of NC, also took in this beautiful tabby kitten. She was found in a feral colony, as were all of the kittens in this blog post, but she had a congenital deformity in her back leg, which needed to be amputated. This hasn’t seemed to phase her. She is happy and sweet. You would never know she came from a feral colony.
Siren is a special-needs kitten, in that she has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), which also happened before birth. She is healthy and loving and adorable. She just has some tremors which make her unsteady. She is still able to climb in your lap though, which she loves to do. She needs a home that doesn’t have any big cat trees like we have here, or anything too high to climb on, to make sure she doesn’t fall. Otherwise, she should have a normal life like any other cat, with the same life expectancy. I have photos of her brother, Sasquatch to edit. He is amazingly cute too.
