A big shoutout to Kat from Kat’s Felted Furries 🐾✨

Many of you will know Kat as the creative force behind our much-loved Aussie Christmas animals that tow Santa’s sleigh in Cockatoo – a truly unique local tradition. This year, she’s bringing even more festive magic to our region with brand new sets for Emerald and Gembrook 🎄

But that’s not all… Kat’s beautifully handcrafted felted animal keepsakes are another wonderful expression of her creativity. Each piece is full of character, care, and that unmistakable handmade charm.

We’re so lucky to have such incredible local talent in our community – be sure to check out her work. 🐾🐈🐕
