Scrappy Cats

I've been crafting around the clock with the help of my two little studio mates, Nigel and Mimsey. They LOVE wresting in my paper scraps, so instead of throwing thing right into the recycling, I've been making a little paper nest for them.

It's fun for the kittens and it keeps them distracted, off my desk, and away from my finished work.

  15. It is so sweet in pic #1, how Nigel is acting as Mimsey's belly warmer!

  16. These two are beyond...everything! Combined, they can make me forget Francine Darling.
    (I'm going to try to make it to the Craft Sale as I hope to find some things don't show up at every craft market in the city from November 26th onward.)

  20. So cute! My cat loves plastic bags so much that a friend crocheted kitty-bed out of plastic bags for her. Kitties and crafts are such a great combination!

  23. I bet those two are just loving the crinkly goodness that is paper scraps. :) Congrats on your itty-bitty-bits-removal, guys! <3

  24. Ooh, so wonderful to see the babies are not only recovering nicely, but back to their usual playful selves! They are sooooo cute!

  25. My old cat Fuzzy (he died January '09) LOVED paper. If a room was entirely empty except for a single piece of paper in the middle of the floor, Fuzzy would go lie on it. Once while we were decorating the Christmas tree he burrowed into the pile of tissue paper that had been used for storing the glass ornaments. These babies just reminded me of that.

    Congratulations on the contest! So exciting!

  28. OMG. Not only did the paper scraps distract Nigel and Mimsey, they created yet another photo op. Beautiful kittens!

  29. Laurie:
    while you are in NYC, you might try to see our semi-famous paper store: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/nyregion/17joint.html?ref=neighborhood_joint
    I think you'd appreciate the many choices.
