Hello!!
As promised, here is our first episode of 2025! I hope you love this and I can't wait to share all of the fun projects that are in the works for this year!!
-Christine
Love it, Christine, as always! Just wrote an article for my mag called "Sinister Gingerbread" and I dive into the haunting history of this spicy treat!!

Does anyone here save their cat's whiskers or claws? I wonder what crafty thing Christine would come up with to use them.

These are the cutest!! I love the "bloopers" when you add them at the end!
I am also a MFM lover, have you ever listened to Morbid?! Alaina and Ash are so fun and they live in Massachusetts!

Right?! Poof's personality as it is as a cartoon combined with your drawn version of him as well as your character building skills...I think it would be a smash! Just sayin'! :) I could see it as a mash up between the dark undertones and humor of Courage the Cowardly Dog with a sprinkle of Garfield thrown in as well. You already have a built in audience for sure :D

I would totally watch your cartoon version of Poof in an animated series any day! I may have awwww-ed more than a few times upon watching this come together. I love how you create interesting characters with such vibrant and fun personalities like the elves, and this case your own precious little Poof. Hope February is treating you and everyone well in this new year!

They look so much bigger on the curtains π² and those eyeballs, all glossy and fresh.π but, Barnabus be like: I legit would have been a better modelπ€ And Poof, side-eyeing back : fluff off, you garbage cat!π§π

So so cute! π Poof is just glorious. I would love to see more of these simpler crafts sprinkled amongst the big projects if at all possible - a mix of aspirational and achievable! Some of my fav episodes are the early craft ones, like the coffin gift box, apron etc. Thanks for another wonderful episode, Christine! π€

This was adorable & love seeing Poof in Keane kitty style.
While recreating my giant pittie pup to hang on a curtain would look hilarious, think I'll start with a smaller furball

I love Simon's Cat. But angry Poof reminds me of Grumpy Cat (Tardar Sauce) so much.

a free motion quilting foot would have made machine stitching details much easier Very cute project

Those are adorable! I have a live curtain kitten, haha. I found her just before Thanksgiving as an abandoned 8-ish week old kitten. Her name is Chessie Cat and she's a spitfire!

This episode was SO much fun! And youβve finally done something (besides a couple of the cooking things) that I can actually do!! *happy dance* Iβm mainly a yarn crafter. While I cannot draw realistically, I absolutely can draw cartoonish. Iβm going to make some black kitties to hang on my curtains in my vintage Halloween craft room! Hope you are doing well with the snow and gloom. I have s.a.d. myself, so I get it! Be well, and thank you!!π§‘π€

Omg I could never imagine Poof being angry and now there's a visual representation, this is so good

Adorable! Love your Bernina, I have a vintage one and it is my favorite thing.
On my machine there's a way to have the needle stop in the down position so that turning fabric is really easy. If you haven't used that yet and think you might like it, I recommend it for all those tight corners.

Oh my gosh, they are SO cute!! My painting skills aren't quite the levels yours are, but it might be fun to try tackling something like this!

The name of this made me laugh. Stuffed curtain kitties just sounds so funny to me. I had a crappy day and this made me smile. Canβt wait to watch - I already know Iβm going to love it.π₯°

So beautiful, best thing to make to remember our big beautiful boy Steve, we lost him in our house fire last year so it will be a visual reminder of him.

I love the kitty outtake at the end!! And a little sewing machine tip - you can take the presser foot off, and lower the feed dogs (the little jagged things that move the fabric along) and then you can move the fabric in all directions while you sew. It takes a minute to get the hang of how fast to move the fabric and how fast you sew, so that the stitches are all more or less the same length - but it makes sewing complicated shapes easier.

I don't have cats, so I live vicariously through yours and this project was super cute and I cannot wait to try it. Also, super ill with Influenza A. So, this was a delightful distraction from trying to breath and my voice sounding like RFK, Jr.

& thank you for all the gratuitous floof content. I especially appreciated seeing Werewoof, aka PrettySweet; I've missed her!
