Look at those beans!
I definitely make a makeshift sling out of a towel to hold my cat while I was cooking once, it was a hit. This is so rad
I’m not sure why I imagined a sling bag for the cat to carry its stuff in
@thorbot This is one of the cutest pictures of all time and reminds me of my Hamlet that passed not long ago.

Okay, but what is that design? Where can I get something like that?
It looks like Aboriginal Australian dot painting, an art form that I really love. Can I please stress if you’re looking for something like this there are thousands of talented Aboriginal artists across Australia who make fabrics and other artwork like this that is not only truly authentic, but helps them to continue practicing culture that was forcibly stolen from them by European colonisers. Cheap knockoffs by non-Aboriginal artists only serve to further devaluing the world’s oldest continuing living culture.
It’s actually a really common technique called pointillism. While this particular pattern may remind you of something aboriginal, it is just a neat landscape inspired pattern using pointillism. So sharply labeling something as aboriginal and then strongly demanding everyone order from Australia is a bit over the top. I’m not saying it doesn’t draw inspiration but if we had to support every source of inspiration for all the patterns and designs we use, it would be madness.
The only problem is that I am on the opposite side of the world from Australia.
Have a quick look on this list:
There are plenty of authentic Aboriginal artists that ship overseas! I’m sure you’d be able to find one with fabric that you like, however shipping may be a bit costly depending on where you’re based.
Kewl.
That’s so freaking cute
Reminds me of when my guy was little and he’d curl up in my robe while I was wearing it
You mean like this?
Oh my god
Awww. I had a cat that liked sleeping in my jacket while I wore it. I’d tuck it into my pants and zip it up and walk around with the kitty inside like a womb.
Please delete this picture, I cannot handle how adorable it is. Thank you.
Delete it? Okay here’s another
Nooo! No more jelly beans with a matching nose!
Don’t you even dare reply to this comment with any more pictures of this cat. I won’t stand for it!!!
Ok I won’t
Awww!
I must make one… this is amazing!
