Harmony,
Your idea for gift tags is a really creative one, too. I wonder if you can do a zig-zag stitch around the edges to give it a creative sewer look, too.
I'm crocheting on a stuffed cat today. I'm working on his front. I'm on his head right now, but after the head's done,I need to make his back side. He's square. After the cat's done, I'm going a dog. I've made the cat before, for 3 3/4 yr. old grson, but 19-mo. grson keeps stealing it away from his brother.
Our Ddil asked that I make the youngest grson a cat for Christmas. I'm using different colors, so they can keep them separate and identified as each their own. For the dog, the colors will be different, too, as not to copy the same cat colors. I'm going to make him a purple head. Deep purple.
