C is for Cork

1. I tried to link to Blog Chatter for A & B, and got a notice saying the link was closed. I linked just now. Do I need to link to them every day? Thanks!

   You are so creative and so sweet to do the things you do and make the goodies you make. You are a blessing to anyone who knows you.

   Hugs.

   1. No, you only need to add your link once which I like instead of everyday like on the A-Z site. You are too sweet. Thank you for the compliment. XO

2. I can’t wait to see what else you come up with to crochet!

   1. Thank you 🙂

3. Cork!!! Who knew! Will there be a wine bottle to go with that?? MOL!!!

   1. Sorry, no bottle, that would be too dangerous.

4. CORK!!!! That’s what’s inside!! I always wondered. Mom said it was a plastic bottle like film used to come in but I didn’t think so. This is fun!??

   1. I think the film holders are bigger 🙂

5. Hehe…I liked your C! Looking forward to reading what’s next!

   1. Thank you 🙂

6. Oh crochet covered corks – what a GREAT idea!!!!

   Love, Angel Sam and Ted

   1. Thank you. XO

7. We luff how Brody always looks so content.

   1. Thank you, me too 🙂

8. Oh, we have one of these from you! It is one of Thimble’s all-time favorite toys. She can’t get enough of it. We enjoy seeing all of your crocheted creations, and we can’t wait to see what other fantastic pieces you’ve made!

   1. I am glad Thimble likes her cork 🙂

9. Ellen, are actually crocheting every day of the challenge or did you do your work ahead? What do the kitties do with these little toys? Are they filled with catnip? I wonder what you’ll do for the next letter? Perhaps, whenever you get a chance, check out some critters I drew for the letter “C” in my A2Z series, Art Sketching Through the Alphabet! Happy a2zing, my friend!

   1. I made quite a few in March so I would be sure to complete the challenge. I was afraid if I got sick or busy I wouldn’t be able to do it.

10. Those crochet toys are just the best. All the cats around here love them. What a good idea to put a cork inside. Well done.

    1. I am glad your kitties are still enjoying their toys.

11. Purrseidon & Mr. M are very pleased to know that you and Brody are enjoying the yarn. I also add that Brody looks much calmer around yarn than Purrseidon does.
    Hope you have a wonderful day/week.

    1. Brody is very calm most of the time. Thank you again for the yarn.

12. My great aunt tried to teach me simple crochet techniques a long time ago. She gave up. ~grin~ I’m better with words than yarn, though I did make a haunted house from a plastic canvas/yarn kit. Took years, because I’d set it aside for months.

    1. My Mom gave up teaching me and paid for me to take a class at the library 🙂 I bet the haunted house is nice.

13. Crochet toys with cork… great idea!

    1. Thank you 🙂

14. That would be a good, solid shape for the kitties to play with.

    1. They enjoy them 🙂

15. That box sure has some pretty colors in it. 🙂

    1. Thank you 🙂 It does.

16. A covered cork–what a great idea! And what a great box of yarn!

    1. Thank you 🙂

17. Do you have to empty wine bottles for their corks? Par-tay at Phoebe and Brody’s house!

    1. MOL! People save them for us.

18. Brody looks quite satisfied with the yarn box. I wonder what his favorite color is? It must be in there!

    1. I wonder what color he prefers? Lucy used to love red, but I am not sure on anyone else.

19. You two are too cute for words!!
    Hugs madi your bfff

    1. Thank you 🙂

27. So many beautiful colors! I wish I had the patience to crochet … I checked out the link and there are some neat patterns! We love the pictures of Phoebe and Brody. It just occurred to me that you sent us a cork with the drumstick … and Bear’s played with it a lot (thank you again!!!).

    1. Thank you 🙂

33. What a great use for old corks. We like playing with corks…even better if they had yarn on them.

    1. Thank you 🙂 My kitties steal the plain ones sometimes.

34. do you knit the toys or crochet them Miss Ellen?? Whatever you do we kitties totally luvluvluv them all!

    1. I crochet them 🙂 Thank you 🙂

35. Such pretty colors with a very handsome model, Brody!

    1. Thank you 🙂

36. that box of yarn is so colorful i want to take up crocheing!

    1. You should 🙂

37. Corks can make fun kitty toys, especially with the crochet cover. And corks are pretty easy to come by, even if you’re not a wine drinker.

    1. They are, a lot of people save them for me.

38. How sweet of them to send you that beautiful yarn. I love the colors. I know you’re going to have fun with that. 🙂
    Have a blessed night.

    1. Thank you. I hope you have a blessed night too.

39. Hee hee–corks with little sweaters. I bet that really ups their playability score–it would give something good for a claw to hook into so a kitty could toss it an chase it when no Human felt like playing with hiim, which I assure you happens all too often. THAT”S what’s so great about the shaggy balls you made me. I can entertain myself for a long time. Who needs a Human???? (Well, except yours cause she made them!! Mine’s really not that useful). XOXOXO

    1. Thank you Spitty. I am glad you are still enjoying your “spit” balls 🙂 XOXOXO

40. I have one of your corks!!!! Those are some pretty yarn. Do you know TW used to crochet. She recently looked at the price of yarn and almost passed out.

    1. I am glad you have a cork 🙂 I only buy yarn on sale or with a coupon.

41. Brody looks so content in that photo! He is such a handsome boy 🙂

    How kind of Purrseidon to send you the yarn:) We still enjoy the crochet toys you sent us!

    the critters in the cottage xo

    1. Brody is a sweetie. I am glad you like your toys still. Purrsedion is very sweet. XO

42. Aw what a good helper showing off the yarn for ya 😀

    1. Brody is a sweetie 🙂

43. That’s cool. And might be simple enough even for a beginner like me. I might have to try to make my cat one.

    1. Good idea, your cat will love it.
