For those wondering how my shop name came about: This is a baby Penny helping me make a quilted table runner. This was 13 years ago and all her glorious fluff hadn’t quite sprouted yet. 😹💕 Swipe over to the second photo to see her now.
She’s mostly retired from sewing now, but once in a while she’ll still “help”. 💕

I just ordered fabric swatches to proof of my new strawberry design! I’m proofing it in a large scale too that will work well for wallpaper and home goods like tablecloths. Which one is your favourite? The blue or pink? Hmmm…I need to try it with a green background too.

I was extra busy last night! Now I need a nap. - Cooper 😻 #werkbish

Don’t mess with me, boys. You’ll get some pow pows. Now leave me alone while I get Cooper’s blood outta my paw. - Penny 😼 #dontsitsoclosetome #dontevenlookatme #iwanttobeanonlychild #mygirl

Cooper’s Moving Service!! Last night I brought up a collar (hint, hint, Ma. THAT’S the one I wanted to wear today. Geez. 😾), Dad’s shoe, and a half-finished collar that Ma didn’t like and is now a toy. My moving rates are as follows: 1 billion cat treats. Please note: I will be late and take lots of breaks. Will probably shred some stuff and/or lose items. You know, just like all the other moving companies out there, but I’m cuter! - Cooper 😹😻

Start the car! I’m doing inventory and have added more items to the half price section. Grab your size before they sell out! Etsy shop link is in profile.
