Kitty undercover!!

Ninja Log: Kitty Date 22:
Today I discovered that the Kitty Creator had made two little hats for new baby Hocking. They were pretty indeed, but also useful for a cunning plan to frighten the life out of Comic Book Kitty. He's been getting a little too big for his boots around here, so Maud and I decided to bring him down a peg or two!!



Popping the hat on Maud was good fun... she looked so silly!



We waited for the Comic Book one to stroll on past us... he does his usual lap of the house at around 14:30. Maud couldn't stop giggling but I poked her in her BS safety filling ribs and she soon hushed down... Then he approached!



We pounced!! Bwahahahahaha



Note to self: baby hats useful for surprise attacks

Pretty Kitty travels...


Ninja Log: Kitty Date 21:
Right, so the Kitty Creator travelled south this weekend, and shockingly forgot Itty Bitty. The trauma was unimaginable, but thankfully Itty Bitty Pretty Ninja Kitty was on hand to step in for the Great Ninja. Reports back home say that IB was coping well and copying most scenes from Home Alone - cut out figures of cats sipping on cocktails were seen moving in front of the window, confirming that at least he wasn't trying to burn the house down whilst testing his latest weaponary - Maud must have kept him in check. So here's a bit about Pretty Kitty's adventure:

" This weekend was my first as a fully formed Ninja Kitty... I am finally no longer just a black cotton sock, so I celebrated with a visit to a very pretty place called Wells. Being in Cider Country means that I have since adopted the accent and feel this makes me even prettier than I already am.

I managed to find Itty Bitty his new country retreat - it's a minimalist abode that I think is understated, but will have enough room for him to plan world domination.




This is the place where they filmed Hot Fuzz, one of Itty Bitty's favourite films... he loves the bit with the shoot out in the market place so I took a picture of the monument for him to keep.... (that's me in the flower bed, sniffing the flowers)




..it also has a wishing well, so I popped in a penny (resisted the urge to take some super shiny ones out) and kept my fingers crossed that his dreams for world domination would come soon....I'm off to Brighton now to stay in my new home, so from Itty Bitty Pretty Ninja Kitty - Over and Out'

Itty Bitty Custom Kitties

Ninja Log: Kitty Date 20:

Today Maud and I were minding our own business playing with a giant bag of Maltesers like it was a ball pool, when we suddenly heard a noise from upstairs.

We grabbed the nearest weapon we could find, in this instance we reached for two felt tip pens... Maud changed hers from blue to pink before I led the way to find out what on earth was going on.



When we turned the corner we found three new special Ninja Kitties, two of which were ready and waiting to be sent off to their new homes.



They introduced themselves as Itty Bitty Pretty Ninja Kitty, Itty Bitty Frenchie Kitty, and Itty Bitty Comic Book Kitty!



We all had a good old chat before they headed off in different directions...



Maud and I were so impressed with the headgear of Pretty Kitty that we decided to raid Sugar&Rhubarbs brooch hoard and catwalk the our latest hair accessories..... how stylish!!

Another S&R takeover

Itty Bitty has fallen into a coma after eating an entire box of sugar puffs. They were a new find for him. Unfortunately Maud the sock bunny bet him that he couldn't eat all 1 million puffs, and he chose this battle to fight...... So I thought I'd share some of my new favourite shops on folksy! Click on the pictures to see the rest of the sellers items!

Saltaire



Ninja Log: Kitty Date 19
Today I took a trip out into the big wide world again. Destination - Saltaire in Yorkshire. It was an educational trip in which I amazed at the architecture and scuttled around the David Hockney exhibtion.... I became instantly concerned by his fascination with dachsunds. To be immortalised in a sketch must mean these doggy creatures are popular. As such they have now become public enemy number one. For research purposes I now intend to watch the documentary film Catz & Dogz, a mouse army sounds useful, however a widget bunny army will do just as well I'm sure.

Whilst I was there I bumped into Uncle Bruce. He was just chilling and licking his paw.

Shameless self- promoting

Ninja Log: Kitty Date 18
Today Sugar&Rhubarb released some new brooches to help you jazz up your coats, bags, tops, dresses and cushions. So I (kitty creator not ninja kitty) have decided to take control of the blog for today to share some pictures. I'm making some more tonight so keep your eyes glued to folksy over the weekend for more additions to the shop.




Remember Mother's Day is soon approaching so think about one of these nice brooches as a present for the Queen in your life.
