Julie Newmar, We Salute You! Have a Purrrrfect Halloween!

Well folks, Cat Month has come to it's tail end...but every month is cat month in my heart!
What a better way to celebrate Halloween than to honor the Original and quintessential (at least in my book) Cat Woman... the lovely and sublime Julie Newmar. Yes, she is by far my favorite Cat Woman (and hubby's too, LOL). When Batman reruns were being aired on our local network, we were psyched. Especially when it was a Cat Woman episode. She was Batman's one true love after all!


I happen chanced upon Julie in a 1963 pre-Cat Woman role as the devine "Miss Devlin" in The Twilight Zone episode “Of Late I Think of Cliffordville”. A must see, if you can Netflix or YouTube it. We were on a Julie Newmar kick after that, and watched DVD's of anything she was in. It's clear she was born to wear those headbands with little cat ears, or devil horns!

Newmar also is an avid gardener and even has a rose named after her. She has pix of her gorgeous lush California garden on her web site. Gotta see it. Thanks Julie, for defining the cat suit and your unmistakable cattitude! And to the Cats, and Cat lovers everywhere, we salute you with paws n' claws!

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Breakfast Buddy for a Lonely Lady

"Well good morning, bright eyes! Would you like a morning snack? Oh, you're just too cute sunning yourself there on the fence post. Don't mind me, I'm just the weird human behind the window." Gee, does it sound like I have empty nest syndrome or what? I've created a new nickname for myself; the crazy-cat-lady-who-doesn't-have-cats. Wonder if I'm the only one?

That's all the time I have for posts today! It's Sewing frenzy 'til Schaumburg! xoxo

Pengy Press in new Teddy Bear & Friends!

Hot off the presses: The new Christmas issue of Teddy Bear & Friends! Take a peek inside to find one of my creations, "Alfie" the little elephant (named after the famous Alfonzo teddy known for his iconic red mohair with gold backing, who resides at Witneys).

Some other talented artists featured: Wendy Meagher, Mary Ann Willis, Karen Meer... Oh, and my buddy... Pam!

Back to sewing!! It's countdown to Sunday's Schaumburg Teddy Bear show! I'm a bit jittery about it (in a good way), and I'm making really special ones to bring. The shows are always so much fun. Hope you can come and visit me there! Toodles for now :O)

Cozy Toesies

OMG! How cute are these? I came across these Haflinger Cats Slippers on-line today. They look so toasty. I am in desperate need of good quality slippers and my criteria is: breathable, hard sole, good support, non-leather, machine washable. And kitty faces is a bonus! Too bad they don't have the hard sole though.

I am determined not to suffer with cold feet this year, as I have a nearly unbreakable habit of wearing my summer sandals *with socks* (eeek!) through the cold months... until it's sandal season again! I know, bad fashion and very bad for the arches. Now you've all got a really funny image of me in your heads, the same one my husband sees every day, LOL! I try to dress better in public ;O) So this year I promised myself and my tortured feet some "real" shoes and slippers. After all, we only have one pair of feet!

Hope your toes are toesty! And lucky you if you don't need warm slippers where you live~ can I come visit?
