Favorite Number: 7

Posted on | July 28, 2010 | 8 Comments |

Seven has always been my favorite number. I don’t know if it’s because I was born on the seventh but whatever it is I have a thing for this number. Today’s our seventh wedding anniversary. Two kids and two countries later we’re still silly over each other. It’s a great feeling and whether you’re married or not, I want to let you know that it really is worth it to be with somebody you’re heads over heels with. If it wasn’t for the military I wouldn’t care less if we’re married or not. It’s not the piece of paper that’s important to me but the quality of the relationship. It’s important that I’m with somebody who not only makes me happy but also help me grow as a person. I need somebody who can feed my soul, the always needing to learn soul. I believe it’s why I’m here in this world, to learn. As different as we are he completes me and it’s a great feeling!

As for my little project… Miss M saw this cute keychain when we were browsing Saddle Market in Camden Town over the weekend. It wasn’t a kitty chain but it was a fabric chain with button eyes and other accessories… I forgot. I told her that I have a lot of fabric and I could just make her one. So I did and here it is. I did some hand stitching. Been wanting to stitch in a while and so glad I did cause I just love the kitty face as a result of the stitching. Super easy too and actually kind of relaxing! Now, if you’re wondering why the cat’s only half stitched on the side… well, I sewed the kitty face and left a hole on the side to flip it over and then stuff it. Well, came to find out the hole I made was too small for the face to flip so I had to cut the thread out some. I couldn’t sew it nice after so I just stitched it closed. M doesn’t mind it because her clever momma told her that the kitty is now like her. M’s got stitches on her right forehead, got them when she was three. I personally think the side stitching made this more attractive but hey, it’s just me.

If you’re interested in making this, here’s the face template. I tried to hand draw it but it just never came out right and so I did it on the computer. M’s keychain was about 2.5″ tall.

Here’s the girl admiring her momma’s present and this is the reason I love making her stuff. She LOVES whatever I make her!

Ok, that’s all folks! I’ll share most stuff later!!
