About me
(Edited to add)
*I’m now a mom to a beautiful and sweet little boy! So yes, much of the blog will probably be about mom stuff since that what I do 24 hours a day now.*
Hi, I’m Kate! We have recently moved to Chicago, IL from Upstate New York where my husband was attending grad school. We are so happy to be back in the mid-west where we were both born and raised. I live with my husband where we share our home with our 2 cats and a terrier mutt. I enjoy making stuffed animals that I hand stitch from felt. I also created the term feltidermy for my mounted faux taxidermy pieces.
I’m a tall, sassy redhead who loves to have fun and enjoy life. I have many hobbies such as baking, cooking, hand sewing and collecting. I have collections of hand thrown pottery, vintage ceramic animal miniatures, vintage animal salt and peppers and vintage mystery novels and juice glasses. I love searching out vintage shops for new curiosities and inspiration. I’m also obsessed with nice soaps, an addiction that I acquired from my mom.
The inspiration for my creations come from old cartoons, nature, folk tales, my vintage ceramic miniatures and my crazy imagination. I can’t help but create things and if they turn out to be cute, well, all the better! I never seem to really have idle hands, even when watching movies or visiting with friends or family, I am usually stitching up my next critter.

Hi Kate,
I’m in love with your feltidermy. Are you going to be selling them on the website again in the near future?
Best,
Kait

What about a “Basselope” – like Rosebud from the old Outland comics. Have Bassethound half antelope.

I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, and this is the best article I’ve come across. I’m a blog post fiend so I’ve actually seen a lot already.In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made as good content as youhave, the internet would bea lot more useful than ever before.

Hi! I am hoping you are the same girlsavage who made the feltidermies. We have one in front of each of the rooms at our office. Recently, we made a video because we are working to raise money to build a building and you can see your work in it so I thought you might enjoy seeing it. The kids love your work! Thanks!
