We create above all for fun, we are not storekeepers, and the profit of the occasional sale of an object allows us simply to save up to donate a little to a shelter.
We close thus our Etsy shop after one year to simplify our life, because all the legal aspect of a real international e-commerce is a little complicated For what is only a simple pastime.
However, every time she goes on the site of Cotton & Color, Claire cannot refrain from buying fabrics : they are so attractive !
Purse, pencil case, pillow-mattress for PTU, do you have other ideas ? Questions ?

Too bad you have to close your etsy shop, Zorro and Pixie. Laws and rules are sooo stoopid! These are beautiful pencil cases. We love the fabrics too. Pawkisses for a Happy Day 🙂 <3
Laws and rules are mostly complicated… And it spoiled our fun ! Mum prefers to sell one or twice on a local craft market, and get one or two orders from people in the area who love her craft. Purrs
TBT just doesn’t buy us much of that kind of cool cat-stuff… 🙂
We agree! Those fabrics are really cute.

We’re sorry you had to close your Etsy shop. We can’t blame Claire for wanting to find things to do with those fun fabrics. They are really cute!
Many lovely fabrics indeed!
XOXO
Simplifying can be a very good thing! Mom says she wishes she could sew better. Looking at those cute fabrics made her want to make something!
Those are wonderful! Sorry you have to close your Etsy shop. Thinking of doing the same.

Could you make cat mats for your kitties to sleep on or to donate to the shelter?
I too am sorry to hear you closed your etsy shop 🙁
Yes, Mum did it ( and still does : she sends once or twice a year on a craft market, or gives stuff to the shelter so that the shelter can sell it). Purrs
The whole international thing is really complicated – my human would not bother with it in her publishing business if she didn’t have to. She really does want the books to go out worldwide, it’s just difficult.
Pixie & zorro; we haza few pals on etsy N even they say roolz iz crazed….claire picked out sum great fabrics, may bee purrhaps her could make sum kickerooz with it ~~ ?? ♥♥♥
We didn’t think about it ! Thank you for the idea ! Purrs
Whoa! That’s a lot of fabric. If it’s heavy enough maybe a tote bag. Wanda made some nice ones when she had her Etsy shop.
what a shame they make it so hard….but those materials are adorable. Maybe hammocks with grommets in the corners to put in cat towers for a shelter??
That’s a great idea ! We have to try it ! Purrs
We totally understand. The Mom crochets and needle felts for fun and has tried to sell it, but keeping up with the sales end of things isn’t any fun. Sorry to hear you closed your Etsy shop, but keep on crafting!!
OMC Claire is wight, those awe sum pawsum purrints. Mommy sez they wuld make gweat everyfin’. Hers wuld like curtains, shower curtains, pot holders, and so much more. Hope y’all have a gweat day.
Luv ya’

Pot holder ? We have to look further, it’s a great idea ! Purrs
Those are some cute fabrics!
Yes, those are cute and the fabrics are very pretty. I have been meaning to tell you that your blog looks very nice too!
Thank you very much Brian *blush* ! Purrs
Human eye glass cases?
Oh yeah, that’s a good and easy-to-do idea ! Thank you ! Purrs
I am sorry you closed your Etsy shop. I can see why you like all those fabrics- they are great.
We are sorry you have to close your shop…but who knows what opportunity will appear next on the horizon!

Your bags are very cute and well made. I like the black one. It’s too bad international sales are so complicated with all the rules and money exchanges.
Are you still making things for others to purchase without having to go through Etsy? We are sorry you had to close your Etsy shop down! Our Mama likes two fabrics especially and was thinking you could make her two larger mats/blankets to put on chairs and sofa for the dogs/cats to sit on.
the critters in the cottage xo
Yes, Mum prefers to do like this. Purrs
Sorry to hear that you had to close your Etsy shop, love both items you have made and the fabric is so cute!
those fabrics are darling. You could do sheets and pillowcases for babies!
Pillows for rescues!
