The Cat Empire

Day 7

Today I give you a photo of the Cat Empire.  My camera ran out of batteries halfway through importing photos, so I only have half.  I hope the others aren’t lost forever!

There’s Felix sitting down playing tambourine with one hand and chocalo with the other.  He was slamming them against his lap for the WHOLE SONG and by the end he had a pained expression on his face.  I sent him some sympathy rays with my heart.  Because I know that painful chocalo feeling.

Day 5

I made a top. It was going to be a dress, and maybe it will be sometime. I found a top that fits me well and traced it for the bodice. The bust is gathered a little at the front. The strap was modeled on the one Venus Williams had at the Hopman Cup (I think). It goes through a keyhole at the front and joins the back in the same way regular straps do. It’s kind of a mix between a halter neck and spaghetti straps. All hand-stitched.
