KITTEN MITTEN

Posted in Buttons, Melbourne, love by graciec on July 16, 2009

Today my boyfriend asked me randomly,

“Should we do something for Buttons?”

How unexpected, and how excited I became! 

Without hesistation, I replied,

“Let’s make kitten mittens!”

(He actually wanted to make Buttons a new house, but we had no cardboard. haha)

BF and I decided to use the colourful scarf on the neck of his toy mouse to make Button’s mittens but only to realise it was a tiny-weeny too small. So we opted for (LE SIGH) for a plain boring looking old sock I found in my wardrobe which my dad left after he got it from his flight. Nonetheless, we were determined to make something nice to keep Buttons warm.

It’s such a warm fuzzy feeling to see my boyfriend hard at work, and actually sewing better than me! I was struggling like crazy, figuring out how is it possible to sew the letter ‘B’. 

And if you’re wondering how is the outcome…

well

mittens

hahahaha I am actually so embarrass to put it up, especially with mine looking really like a worn out cloth. I bet you cant even see the ‘B’ can you? But i tried my very very very utmost best :) hahaha but it was fun doing it.

And now, the most important question,

did Buttons like it?

 

trying

Well, I am not sure if he really digged it, but he tried his best to keep it on for like 5 seconds.

My boyfriend looked at him and started bursting out hysterically by the sight of Buttons with our poorly done mittens.

I think Buttons became so unimpressed by it, we gave it to the toy mouse.

Since the boyfriend was in his hysterical mood,

he decided to make another winter piece for Buttons.

Presenting…

Hahahaha.

Keep warm darlings.
