cats and dogs

I babysat one of the grand daughters today and we decided to do some stitching. She started this cat about a year ago and today we finished it. However she's decided she doesn't like cats anymore, so she wants to give this to her little sister and start a dog stitchery for herself!  I put the fabric in a hoop to make it easier for her to handle but I still freak out about the needle! (She managed it perfectly well.) I haven't mentioned to her about using the machine yet but no doubt that will be next. We also made a small stuffed dog from the Softies book. She chose the fabrics and the buttons, I stitched on the machine!
