I’m so excited to tell you about a brand new book, available this week for the first time. If you love cats, crafts and modern design, then this is a must-have for your reading list! It’s Kitty Jones Kitty Crafts: Beautifully Designed Projects for a Cat-Friendly Home by Jen Curry, founder of Kitty Jones.
Jen has been making well-designed cat toys, scratchers, and other home goods with Kitty Jones since 2007. This book brings her ideas and inspiration to you, complete with beautiful photographs and easy-to-follow instructions. The book is divided into two sections: PLAY including DIY projects for making stylish cat toys, scratchers, hideaways and more; and HOME filled with feline-themed decorative items that don’t scream crazy cat lady.

Four adorable kitty models are photographed throughout the book, bringing the projects to life. The book is beautifully designed and an absolute pleasure to read. This is the perfect holiday gift for all of your crafty cat-loving friends!

ENTER TO WIN!
Here’s your chance to win a copy of Kitty Jones Kitty Crafts, plus the winner will get to choose one of Kitty Jones’ adorable catnip stuffed mice pictured below! All of the Kitty Jones fabrics are designed and printed in the Kitty Jones studio in Queens, NY using water-based inks and organic cotton canvas, so these are some of the best cat toys ever!
To enter, please leave a comment on this post. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing and announced on September 24, 2012. One entry per person. This giveaway includes free shipping to addresses everywhere!

This is great! I’m presenting a workshop on the importance of play and DYI cat toys. I will add this to the resource handout. It is fun to see what others create and to share new homemade stuff with my 6 cats.

Oh man, this would be so awesome to have

Look. This is a cool book with cool projects. But there is NO WAY to have a “HOME filled with feline-themed decorative items” and not look like a crazy cat lady/gentleman. No matter how modern and clean your feline-themed items are, it’s still a house full of cat images.
September 17th, 2012 at 11:30 am
I..want….THIS!!!!!!
September 17th, 2012 at 11:30 am
I would be interested in the read.

This would be great to have so that I would be able to make my own Kitty Fun! Crossing my Paws, lol…
