I’m still stuck on animal cushions. Here’s Cat Cushion #1, finished late on Friday night in time for Saturday’s market. It sold within the first hour.
I can be clever on occasion, so I knew what to do — make more! Here’s another one:
Another four cats are waiting in the wings, they’ll be finished and stuffed by this evening in time for the Made in the Cape market at Cavendish tomorrow. I’ve made 28 new cushions altogether in the last few days so, as it happens, it’ll also be me who’ll be finished and stuffed by this evening.
PS. The woman who bought the cat on Saturday phoned me yesterday to ask if I could make her another one (in a different colourway) so that she’s not without a cat cushion when the first one is in the wash. Purrrrrrr…..
The cat is so sweet; not surprised they are selling well!
Funnily enough, not in the last two days :( !!!
These are gorgeous! It’s great to find a hot selling item I’m sure. I have to admit to learning a lot from you in your market adventures as I start to contemplate my future more and more. But despite the cat being a firm favourite, I think I’m in love with the rabbit :)
I’m a rabbity person myself. Will be more to follow….
I prescribe a large G&T for the end of today. The cushions are fab, and I think you’ve definitely found a bit of a niche. I like the bunny one too…
and then it was the rhinos that proved more popular today….:)
Keep a menagerie at hand and you can’t go wrong!
Woohoo!!! Glad they are flying off the shelf.
Flying is good when it happens. Today and yesterday were relatively quiet sales days, hopefully Saturday and Sunday will be blockbusters.
Stunningly wonderful cushions, just looking at your pics makes me happy. Good luck with the market at Cav. Sorry I’m not in Cape Town to visit and give your cushions a loving stroke.
The cats are superb, no wonder they sell like a cat on a hot tin roof! Best of lluck with the next market.
Those cat cushions are so cute!
The cat is super cute, of course it was a winner! I would totally have to find a way to make a cat cushion and an elephant cushion work together because I love them both
I know someone who would love a hare cushion. The cats are cute..
