Look What the Cat Dragged In! An Amazing Ally Cat Party

When you've got a incredibly clever mom, you can pick an obscure theme (like, say, kittens) for your eighth birthday party and expect a dream fete! And that's just what the daughter of Jenny Cookies founder Jenny did. After taking few scraps of vintage kitten fabric, some old kitty art, and a whole lot of creativity — the supertalented baker and party planner whipped up this adorable Ally cat party for her daughter, Ally. Using the birthday girl's favorite colors and lots of yarn, Jenny turned the bare loft above her garage into a magical vintage celebration. As captured by Molly Vaden Photography, guests enjoyed making capes, cookies, and, of course, playing with Ally's presents: baby kittens! From the party's name to the incredible attention to detail, we're purring over this sweet shindig.

DIY Balls of Yarn

Jenny made a lot of balls of yarn, and luckily they were easy to do. "To incorporate yarn into the party, I made huge yarn balls starting from round paper lanterns. I wrapped yarn around the lanterns until it resembled a giant yarn ball, then hung them around the party from the ceiling," she says.

Here's a tip from Jenny on creating an inexpensive DIY party prop: "I picked up inexpensive frames from Michaels and spray-painted them pink, red, and turquoise to coordinate the party colors, then framed the vintage kitten art I had found from eBay."
