Lil peanut!!!!

Can I just say that I love how our pets are in the selfie thread as they're an extension of ourselves

Voulez vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?

How does it feel, to treat me like you do?

Will you still need me? Well you still feed me?

Awsome! (Sorry, I was out of state for a few days.) Okay, so if/when you do the sketch keep in mind what material you'd like it to be made out of, furry like this fuzzy like this furry/fuzzy combo, (I use the fabric from blankets often because it's easier than hunting fabric by the yard when looking online.) or soft and squishy Also, I keep looking at browns...but...you can also just have fun and pick something like this... Just thinking that if I had a 6 foot plushy in my house I'd consider it a part of the decor and I would want it to match what ever room it's going to spend most of it's time in. However making it match my cat is also a cool idea so I'd have lots to consider...if it were me, lol.

perrrrfect for kicking around

These might be a good cat-toy shape.

So the different styles you could do are endless <---all four of these are beginner level. <---this one is a ragdoll pattern and super easy. <---traditional style, easy/medium difficulty. <----This would be a chibi version of Theo. I know there's no cat depicted but it's the same exact pattern except with wider ears set higher on the head and a cat tail on the back. I would also suggest different fabric than the faux fur I mentioned earlier. These in the picture are made out of fleece. Fleece is very forgiving and what I use for a lot for cartoon character costumes. But these three examples are what just popped up on the first page when I typed in "stuffed cat patterns sewing" on amazon. You should google or go on amazon yourself and take a look. Or, you said you were good at drawing, you can post a pic of a drawing and I can work out a pattern for you. Any face you like can be applied to any pattern. Or you can decide to go w/o a face too. Hmm...I've never made a toy specifically for a cat so I don't know if hard plastic eyes would be an issue, not safe, something he would or wouldn't like. But you can easily use felt instead of hard plastic.

Ooo! You can make a little pocket for catnip inside!

I'm not sure what piece she starts out singing, it sounded familiar and I think it's from the Tales of Hoffman, the character is a mechanical doll in the first act of three acts.

A stuffed animal is usually a good starting point. But as someone who looses patience easily I would recommend finding something that really sparks your interest so you don't loose interest. You've got time to think about, I'm always around (at some point). With that said, this fabric looks a little like Theo's fur. It'd be hard to find a perfect match.

That's nothing to sneeze about.

I think it's the Spain's Got Talent series. It's also an old clip but I remembered I liked her highway to hell. I didn't have the patience to watch the actual show but I like watching the clips, they usually bypass all the chatter that the judges do.

I can recommend all sorts of stuff but I'd have to know what you want to make first. Like do you want to make clothing, a stuffed animal a soft fleece version of Marshmallow Head? They'd all require different things

I'd be lying if I said I didn't get that impression.

Well there's this lady

Cranberry juice in orange juice is pretty good. It's an odd occurrence because I'm not a big fan of the cran and I only like orange juice with certain foods never on it's own...but in combination it's really good.

I can't not! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH!!!

Oh holy hell. Drink more cranberry juice! is all I can think of to say, lol.

Okay, four sittings then. You can always burn your old stuff after you've made better stuff but you can't do it the other way around. The best way to learn how to sew is by doing it....so this is where you might run into a snag because the first step I would suggest is finding somebody who sews. I used to teach people in my medieval reenactment group, but in person. Hmmm...maybe think of something you might want to make and then look through DIY vids? Also places like Joann Fabric Store sometimes have classes you can take. You know what - If you can come up with something you'd like to make then I'll help you get started with my KNOWLEDGE!

You're one of those people the just write off pain then.
