It's a Mr. Funky Christmas at my place

How freaking cute are these kitty cats?! If they weren't gifts for the sweetest 2 1/2 year olds I know, my nieces Flora and Ava, I might have to keep them for myself. I ordered the kitties - let's call them Faye and Ali, after Dunaway and MacGraw - from crochet artiste Narumi Ogawa, whose work I saw at the Felt Club craft extravanza a couple weeks ago. Narumi's line is called Mr. Funky and it includes other darling inhabitants of the animal kingdom like bunnies, monkeys, and a bear, who is the original Mr. Funky. You can customize your colors, and Narumi also makes scarves and hats worn by the likes of Christina Aguilera.

It's probably not too late to pick up a critter or two for the holidays, and she might even special deliver them if you live on the east side! Otherwise you can hold off 'til Valentine's Day when a special Mr. Funky teddy bear will be available through the website. And if you're feeling especially nimble fingered, look out for Narumi's forthcoming book, Mr. Funky's Super Crochet Wonderful, to be published in July.
