I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis for the past few days and now I have tonsillitis. It sucks because we’re going to the beach this weekend. Boohoo. Nevertheless, I am taking natural remedies to ease out the pain in my throat and relieve me of fever. And guess what, I still had the strength to sew and craft! :)

Lately I’ve been stashing lots of tissues in my bag — tissues from restaurants mostly. :P

I seem to forget to buy my own pack. But with this cute monster tissue holder I made, I am super excited to finally fill it with facial tissues and not those table napkins I have been using for days now. LOL.

For the monster design, I simply cut out 5 small triangles and 2 circles (one larger than the other) and used contact cement to put glue them all together. I know I should have used something more easier to work with like super glue but the contact cement was all that I have in the house. And with my achy-throat condition, I was in no way fit to go out and buy a tube of super glue. :P

I also drew the word “ACHOO” and cut them out. Very easy right?

I had some scrap felt that was left from this easy project so I made a little something for my furry babies.

Yes, a Kitty finger puppet! As if they don’t have enough kitty company already!

Check out Alpa (Hindu name that means small or tiny; she was the smallest kitten from Shiva’s litter) and her new friend:

I slipped her tiny paw into the puppet. :) Cutie!

Oh, and the big hand holding her still was Mr. Snuggles.
