I decided to do finishing yesterday. I get a little crazy when my "needs finishing" pile starts to stack up too high!
The first project I did was this little Santa Ornament that I stitched up over the weekend:
He's very glittery!
Then, I did my little "Smiling Snowman" ornament:
I haven't decided yet if I want to put the tree up this year or not. If I don't, I'll hang this guy on a doorknob. This is one of my designs so if anyone is interested in the pattern, you can find him and his little friend over at my Etsy shop.
Next, I did these two little embroidered pieces:
These are 2 of my favorite vintage embroidery designs. The poodle is a Vogart pattern and I believe the bonnet girl is an Aunt Marthas transfer. I've stitched each of these at least 3 times now!
Anyway, I did these a while back and finally sewed them up yesterday. They will go to Pat for the Comfort Doll project along with the Blackwork Cat doll that I did last week. I'll mail them off to Pat tomorrow.
Once I got all that sewing done and the hand-work completed, I started on the Purple Cat Doll:
I'm sure I'll get him finished up later today. Tomorrow I'll sew up the last 3 cats that I stitched and I expect to them in the shop on Sunday. As I mentioned last week, I received several emails asking me if I would consider making up a few cats for purchase. So that's what these are for.
Today, I'll be doing a bit more finishing and then sewing up a few new blocks. I just can't imagine life without a sewing machine! And speaking of sewing machines, Scott told me that he'll be putting the cabinet for my antique machine back together this weekend. I picked the machine up from the Singer man yesterday so I expect to have photos for you very soon!
Planning Begins

Isn't this a contrast? Well not to worry...these are not included in the
same project.
But, if you want to know what my plans are for them...check ou...
