Thanksgiving Is Coming!

I have to share this little funny Thanksgiving turkey image with ya'll.  My cousin sent it to me this morning and it made me laugh!

You probably all know that I'm easily amused!  But I just thought this was too cute!

Okay on a more serious note, here's the last of my heart ornaments:

I stitched this up this morning.  After I make out my Thanksgiving cards, I'll put these together.  If all goes well, I have photos of them again tomorrow.

I spoke yesterday of a special treat for this holiday season.  I don't want get into it too much but I'm sure you're all wondering what I have planned.  I'll just say that it will take you back to a time when life was more simple.  When Christmas was more joyful and less rushed.  When it was more child-like and innocent.  More magical.  Sweeter, prettier and more charming!  Be sure to stop by on Thanksgiving and everyday after.  You won't want to miss this!

Crazy Quilt Christmas Tree Ornaments

Okay, now that I've settled down from laughing over my sister's Halloween costume, I thought I'd share a couple of the Crazy Quilt Christmas Tree Ornaments that I made last week:

I wish had sewn up more of these little heart ornaments.  They were really fun to make!  Maybe I'll do some for Valentine's Day.

Is anyone else having trouble getting their photos to post on Blogger?  I could not get these to post no matter how many times I tried.  I finally had to link the photos over here from my Etsy shop.

Crazy Quilt Blocks for Christmas Ornaments

I finished up the 3 crazy blocks I was working for Christmas ornaments.  Well, I finished the stitching but I still have to sew them together:

This one took me a little bit longer than the others because I did the tatted Christmas tree myself and then sewed it on and beaded it.

 I also did the tatted lace myself on the blue block.  I have a ton of vintage tatting but I like to do my own now and then so I don't forget how to do it!

And then here's the one you saw the other day:

I have these pretty little ornaments to hang from the point at the bottom of these pieces.  I found them at Michael's before Christmas last year:

I had planned on sewing these together today but I don't think I can squeeze one more thing in.  Maybe I can sew them up in the morning.

Strawberry Ornaments Almost Ready For Picking!

My crazy quilt strawberry ornaments are almost ready for picking!  I just have to put them together:

These, like my cat dolls, never look like much until I get them sewn together!  But these will be pretty crazy quilt strawberry ornaments!

The Chicago Cubs (yes, I love baseball) play their first game at 12:30 pm so I'll be working on these during the ballgame and I'll have them ready "to pick" by tomorrow!

And next, I'm working on some Crazy Hearts for Bowl Fillers!  Mom's bowl filler fly out the etsy shop door so I thought I'd make some too! 

Dolls and Strawberries

I have some finishes to share today!  Yeah!  Sometimes I feel like I can stitch faster than I can finish things.  Maybe it's because I like the stitching part the best!

First, here are my Crazy Quilt Porcelain Dolls:

I think these are so pretty!  And unique!

And then I finished up my ..... oh wait!  I never told you what they were!  Remember these?

Look at them now:

Crazy Quilt Strawberry Ornaments!  These are so much fun to make!  And I'll have an instruction booklet ready soon!

In the meantime, these things and more are in my Etsy shop!

Crazy Quilt Christmas Ornaments

Well, these Crazy Quilt Ornaments would be for a large Christmas tree or a door knob:

I think these will be the last of my Christmas things for this year.  I don't know if mom will be doing anything or not.  Next on my stitching list is to finish up my little Crazy Quilt Dolls.  These ornaments are in my Etsy shop.

Crazy Quilt Ornament Santa

I finished up on this crazy quilt Santa ornament early this morning:

I can't wait to sew these last 3 stitched pieces up!  Next I'll be doing a few gifts so stop back to see those.

Also, I have Crazy Quilt Mystery Project Classes coming in January!!!
