Maneki Neko Fangirl Room

We are incredible lamebots.  As such, we spent New Year's Eve making and installing a shelf in my office.  It was a shelf for my maneki neko collection.

Don't worry. We drank champagne while doing so.

Once the shelf was in place, I saw this pillow and figured I could make a similar one for my new shrine to waving kitties.


Here's the pattern I came up with.

Just look at that cute little face!

Gotta write something in that banner.

Here's the finished pillow, all stuffed and ready for duty.

I really like the selvedge edge on the back. I don't know why I didn't think of it before because I use some fabrics with some lovely selvedges and also because I'm lazy about hemming.

Here's the kitty all nestled in his new home.

Now I'll just have to figure out some maneki neko artwork to hang over that chaise lounge.  Also, more waving cats.  Definitely more waving cats.
