Sugar is famous in her neighborhood for her sweet tooth.

Every afternoon, she walks to the local bakery known as Kitty’s Cupcake Corner, where she looks longingly in the window at the variety of cupcakes on display.

They are frosted with vanilla, peppermint, orange, and lemon, and are swirled, covered with sprinkles, or just plain. Sugar’s eyes get really big when she sees the strawberry ones.

Kathleen Kitty, world renowned baker, notices that her cupcake confections have a loyal fan. When Sugar zones in on the strawberry ones, she notices that too.

Himalayan Cat Art Doll Figurine and Pocket Kitten, finishing touches

A Himalayan cat art doll in a blue floral pinafore sits with a Himalayan kitten in her pocket.

My mom and I have been creating away. Mom has been hopping between one art doll project and the next, as her clay and paints dry. We are happy to announce her Himalayan original one-of-a-kind cat art doll is now fully clothed! And her kitten has a nice pocket into which she is comfortably nestled.

I’ve been taking short videos of us working for some fun behind-the-scenes peeks. Here I am measuring her for her new pinafore while our calico kitty, Ruby, plays with my supplies, and my mom is at her work table sculpting a new little cat doll: https://youtube.com/shorts/DtTYYsp1YmY

Ruby is so helpful! She looks like she knows what she is doing. Just ask her.

I had to make all the little pattern pieces, and I have to admit my brain had to do some twists and turns while trying to work that out. Those shoulder ruffles gave me quite a time as well. I sewed so much of this pinafore by hand, with a needle and thread: https://youtube.com/shorts/qJtzrVy6sPw

Then I had to make that pocket the right size for the kitten and sew that on by hand as well. Finally, everything came together and I breathed a sigh of relief! https://youtube.com/shorts/9aQF3Fx2Roc

We wrote a story and a detailed description of the kitties and my mom gave them names. I need to take some photos and add my bit about the pinafore. Then I will get her official post together with her description and she will be up for adoption! Whew. Stay tuned!

Hope you all have been staying cool in the heat wave we have been having. It is good weather for staying inside and sewing and sculpting and painting.
