Hi there! How was your weekend? Mine was too fun (and too short). But I finally got to make these fun catnip filled toys for two friends who both just got kitties — and both like purple!
I cracked up the whole time I made ’em.
Until I found out that I’m allergic to catnip. Achoo!!!
If you’d like to try and make some yourself, I pretty much followed the pattern from Martha Stewart’s Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts. The only differences are that I added bells to to the fishing lines, and I made some spares in case the kitties get a little too eager for that catnip, hee hee.
AND! Check out what I used to hold pins while I made ’em! A guest check dish from my friend Mon!
I just love it! It’s from Fishs Eddy — appropriate name, eh?
Achoo!!! Achoo!!
Eeek, SO CUTE!!!! How lucky am I to be one of the purple-loving-new-cat-owners!!! Diego is going to love it. :-) Thank you!!
So cute! Your are so clever!
Super cute! Love these toys Lisa!
Too cute!
Those are so so so so cute! I’m sure the kitties will be pleased. =D
These are such sweet projects, so in awe of your sewing talent, love these!
Lisa, these are so cute. I hope you’re feeling better from the allergies!
Oh FAB Lisa – what a great present for those new kits – they’ll love them – and so will their owners watching the fun!

I love those fish!! What a great idea!! Also love the Fishs Eddy link—they also have a Parking Ticket tray—might have to pick that one up, even though I’ve never had a parking ticket in my life. I just like it for the kooky factor :)
I didn’t see the parking ticket tray — that’s cool! I’ve never had a parking ticket either (knocks on wood…)!
