Here is a sneak peak at some work in progress…Super Hero Cat Dolls! These three are the Batman Cat, the Flash Cat and the Spider-Man Cat. They still need their cowls. I would like to create a Hulk Cat as well, and look forward to finding some awesome green fabric! There are also a few … Read More
Life with Tigers HQ
Island Hopping
When Life with Tigers began many years ago, the phrase “Handmade in Brooklyn” was always present on our packaging, from the hangtags on the dolls to the inserts on the cards, all the way to the instructions on the Severed Leg Catnip Toys on how to clean the tiger slobber off the fabric after enthusiastic … Read More
Crafternoon Number Two: Autumn Craft Smackdown!
With memories of last year’s mega successful Christmas Craft Smackdown! floating through my head, I rearranged the tables again this past weekend and invited some folks over for Crafternoon Number Two: The Autumn Craft Smackdown. This time around, the theme was “Puppets and Marionettes”. Some of us really enjoy puppet theatre and always wanted to … Read More
Life with monkeys
A few observations about our intern, Moo. She can be a little shy, and has a very sweet disposition. She loves to play and has never hissed or clawed at anybody. Ever. She likes to talk to you when you talk to her, but is otherwise very quiet. And lately, she appreciates ANYTHING she perceives … Read More

Superstorm Sandy shakes snow on the shorline

Parts of it were a bit scary. Here is how art director Ashes handled the situation: We were so very lucky. … Read More
A brief message from Legland, New York
There is a very special anniversary coming up here at LwT HQ. I won’t say what it is just yet, but Intern Moo wanted to give you a hint:
Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey
Right about now, I should be posting a review of the two most recent craft shows we have appeared at. Perhaps, even post the photos I’ve prepared for such a post. That would be prudent, but instead, I am going to post a video of Production Manager Shadow after he woke up with his favorite … Read More
I AM…in a tailspin
So it certainly has been very busy here at the LwT studio. Much to say, much to announce. Where to begin? Let’s begin by announcing that Life with Tigers will be making it’s international debut at the Renegade Craft Fair in London. It is Renegade’s first ever fair in Europe, and we are so pleased … Read More
Hmm, I don’t remember the ledge being this small
>In the early days, our intrepid intern Moo needed some time to adjust from the life of a free-spirited stray to the constraints (and luxuries) of indoor life. One such adjustment was to learn that walking on the wrong side of the mezzanine safety rail inside the LwithT Headquarters was an unfortunately quick way to … Read More
