Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats

I'm going to let you all in on a little secret. Well, it really isn't too much of a secret, but I've never wrote about it in the blog.


I love CATS the musical. I adore it. My love of crafting came partly from CATS, because I also love to work on making costumes for the show, and whatnot. I haven't made a whole costume yet, but I hope to some day.


A few years ago I was heavily into the costuming, but with school and life I stopped and didn't think much about it. But recently I have started to love it again and I really want to start making stuff. So you will probably start seeing some of that stuff along with all the other stuff I usually put up on here.

Binded Up

 Today and yesterday, I have working on binding up a quilt for my Quilts of Valor group. The thing is that I did not make the quilt to begin with. It was donated to us so we could fix it up and then give it to a veteran. So my first task for the group was to add a border to the quilt and then, once it was quilted, bind it all up. I have never done a normal binding like this before so it was a good learning experience and I'm super glad with the outcome.
