We have just made our second book pal and we are in love. If you haven't read the picture book series Pete the Cat
by Eric Litwin and illustrated by James Dean, you are missing out. To
get an idea, click on the books and rock away. Just imagine a class of
first graders singing away...you will fall in love too.
We knew we wanted to create Pete, but weren't sure we what to do
about shoes. We thought we might find infant shoes at a thrift store,
but no luck. Then we found these at Marshall's. Perfect!
We dug some blue fabric out of the fabric scrap box. It was a little
dark, but we thought it would work. Queen Pea just cut it out by
eyeballing it. She is so good, she only had to re-cut the head twice.
The eyes and nose were from felt and the mouth and eyebrows were black
floss. My job was the stuffing the body. I love the final result.
Now there is a third book out. Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons. I am trying to get the Queen to make a coat with four buttons, but she says I can't have everything. Sometimes mothers are so mean!
