*******************************

I had this cat in mind for a while, and thought

 September was a great time to make it for our 

Scrap Happy Crochet Pattern.

I chose all "Halloween" colors, and some white yarn

from my yarn stash and rolled them up into crazy

 yarn balls holding 2 strands of medium (4) weight

 yarn together. I love them and think the yarn balls

 are even pretty and perfect for a Halloween project.

I named him BJ Short For "Beetle Juice" and

 of course he is a scrappy cat. It measure about

12 inches tall, 24 inches around, 

 the perfect size for playing with or displaying 

as a Cute Halloween display.

The cat was so much fun to stitch up. I made it in

 2 evenings. I could hardly wait to finish it up and

 share it with you all. I just know you will enjoy

 making your own BJ, Just as much as I did.
