this kitty is supposed to be a puppet for kids hands.I am not sure about the face. I might change things. What do you think?

I take care of my 82 year old Mom and she suffers with it o so bad. It is a awful disease. Just take your time.

I know Billy, it's hard to age.

Finished my kitty but not thrilled with its looks. Here it is. The tail didn't fit in the pic.

What is it you don't like about your kitty................ Looks like lt might have a bit of Siamese in it. Otherwise a fine looking black cat. Do you sew by machine or by hand?

Thanks, Billy. I did a bit of both, since there where tricky areas and today was not my sewing machine day I don't like it's a serious looking cat and not a cute kitten.The project as seen from my pic is small and working so small is difficult for me and requires good hands for a delicate job, good eyes. I am 55 but I feel this  kind of projects is for the young, not for all young at heart

Maybe making the eyes a bit bigger would help with "cuteness".  It can be hard with a cat to make it cute I think since often what makes them so adorable are their actions. I actually think she is pretty cute myself.

I think she is cute too! Do you work the front paws with your fingers as well as putting two fingers into the head? Clever idea!
