Lucky Cat Felt Ornament

Made this for the Grab Bag swap, where the prompt was the initials L C (for Lettuce Craft).

I made a Lucky Cat out of felt.

It was fun to make, and it was a fun swap!

I made one of these for @AIMR in the scavenger hunt last year and no matter the rendition, they always look so cute! Yours is no exception!

In my research of them, apparently different hands waving mean prosperity for either business or home, but I canโ€™t remember which! :woman_facepalming:

I didnโ€™t know that! How cool! My Japanese MIL gave us lots of lucky cats over the years; I should investigate what they actually meant, I guess!

I love embroidered felt and yours is giving a warm fuzzy. I have a few maneki neko in my house, one is solar-powered and waves itโ€™s little arm at you.
