This ornament is done with size 40 thread and size 10 beads, Maybe next year I will do the whole tree with these. Not this year though, Not enough time. Hope you like.

Addie cat decided the photo box would make a better cat bed and tried to evict the ornament.

Thank you everyone for the nice comments, you are as always way too kind.

Homebody, you wont find the pattern for the ornament yet as I haven't written it. Wasn't sure anyone would want it. Most people don't like working with the smaller thread. Maybe I should think about writting it up?
As for the soap buddies, I have offered the soap kitty and pony pattern to Crochetville members. The rest I haven't released yet. Just PM me with an email address and I will send you a copy of the kitty and pony pattern.

Great ornament and very cute kitty! I always wondered how you got such great photos, I never thought of using a box!

We started using a light/photo tent/box to take pictures of the beaded purses. They are such a bear to take pictures of. They bounce the light all over the place. Makes it real difficult to get a good picture of them. We started out using a white lamp shade with the light shining through the sides. Worked pretty good. We then graduated to the light tent. It has been wonderful, Though Addie does think it should be a cat house. She loves to sleep in it.
For back ground I use the foam sheets you can get at the craft stores. No texture and matte finish. Of course DH takes the pictures I am a horrible photographer.

This ornament is beautiful. I am just amazed at what thread + a crochet hook + a little creativity will bring. I would love this pattern, or at least a little insight on how to make my own. Great job:clap
