In the new October issue of Bead&Button Magazine, we are featuring a gallery of images of cats "helping" with their human’s beading projects in the furriest ways possible! These images, submitted by our readers, were so much fun that we couldn't bear to leave them out.

Participate in the fun! Do you have a furry friend who "helps" you with your beading? Maybe he is also skilled with a saw blade, or works very hard to help you keep your macramé cord very tidy! I can't do anything with resin in my house as Ernest's hair always seems to get embedded in any piece I make, no matter where he is in the house when I'm working.

We love seeing all of these photos of your beloved friends and your studio spaces and craft rooms. And don't think that we only want to see felines--send us photos of your dogs and birds and fish and turtles and lizards, and if we get enough submissions, we'll give them their own gallery!

Upload your photos here, and click the Gallery tab to check out recent submissions!
