This Week in the Studio

I've been busy in the Pesky Cat Designs studio and my normally neatly arranged spools of thread are now in a state of disarray. Balance, my mini art feeling from Artmind pictured above, was reminding me to slow down and take a break. So today I decided to take a trip on the Long Island Rail Road and visit a friend for lunch. I had a wonderful time and just got home a couple of hours ago. I decided that today would be a studio-free day.
Of course I can't stay away from the studio for too long so tomorrow I'll be back sewing up a storm to get my latest work in progress finished by Thursday. I'll also be adding a couple of new bags made from chenille in robin's egg blue, to the shop late morning. Stay tuned!

It's nice to take 'me' time. Sounds like a fabulous way to spend a day.

A well deserved time off - everyone needs to recharge the batteries...
This robin's egg blue chenille is yummy, I love the messenger with the brown bird and two buttons!

The Pesky Cat's Day Dream

Katzenhohle by Dornroeschen Filzunikate I recently came across this incredible cat bed made by German artist Dornroeschen Filzunikate. This beautiful piece of functional art called a Katzenhohle , cat cave, is handmade of felted wool. It's definitely the most unique cat bed I have ever seen. It would bring a bit of nature into my urban NYC home. I think my Anni would love a cat cave although her favorite spots right now are the pillow behind my head in bed, a straw basket that was meant to store magazines and a storage box made from fabric that becomes a hammock when she sleeps in it. My sweet Anni FOX 5 Update : A while back I wrote a post about a story that Fox 5 news was doing on Etsy and the handmade market. I was interviewed in my studio as part of the feature. An Etsy press agent recently informed me that the story aired April 15th and he also missed it. He said he is trying to get a copy of it from the studio. I'll be sure to post a link to it when it becomes availab...

Another Studio Location Coming Soon!

P esky Cat Designs will soon have another workshop location. Starting August 1st I'll be working from my studio located in St. Augustine Florida! Those who have been following my blog know that I've made many trips to the area in the past few years. I'm excited with the prospect of being able to work from a new place that will bring me new inspirations and ideas. My studio will be located within close proximity to several craft and green markets. If all goes as planned I hope to be able to sell my handbags at one of these markets as well as continue selling via my Etsy shop. I'll keep you posted with everything. Right now there is a lot of planning going on so I am not able to work on new handbags as much as I want to. As soon as all gets settled expect to see many new creations in the shop!
