Poppy, Bea & I all have our Birthdays in July, one or more of which often land in school holidays. This makes for a lovely (if somewhat unproductive) time for me.

Poppy has always wanted a ‘real’ cat but I am holding out until both my girls are truly able to look after their own pets. To stall her, I made this cat doll for her Birthday. I made my own pattern and tackled my sewing machine (of which I’m a little frightened), and I’m quite happy with the results, so thought I’d share.

Happy Birthday Poppy, Bea & everyone else who’s been blowing out candles lately!
