Spring At Kitty & Me!

Well, we may have more snow outside, but Spring is showing it's pretty little head here at Kitty & Me!

I spent the day taking photos of our newest creative endeavors.  Oh, and uploading photos.  Yes, that takes awhile on dial-up.  But I did a little project while I was waiting.  Velvet Strawberries:

These will part of an upcoming project.  You'll never guess what I'm going to do with them!  Stay tuned!

In the meantime, here is the sweetest little bunny pillow made by mom:

These cute little chick do-dads are by mom as well:

I just love them!  I have something coming soon with these little chicks too!  I'm just waiting on some more forgetmenot flowers!

Anyway, these Spring tags are my newest additions:

There are 5 tags in each set.  I don't know which ones I like more.  The bunny's are vintage gold dresden foil.  I found them at an antique shop awhile back.  Sometimes it's hard for me to use some of my things that I've picked up in our junkin' travels but eventually I concede to using them.  I mean, why do I have them if I don't want to use them?

Anyway, I also made some pretty little glittered egg ornaments:

These would be so cute on an Easter Egg tree! 

So, that was my day.  I made chicken soup and Scott just walked in the door.  My favorite time of day!  I just have to get the garlic bread ready to put in the oven.  He doesn't like to eat the minute he walks in.  He likes to unwind for a little while first.

In other news, Annie was the first to ask for the JCS Ornament magazine so Annie, it's yours!  Please email me with your address so I can get that in the mail for you.  I hope you enjoy it!

Well, I'm kind of tired now.  I started stitching Block #8 of my Garden Crazy Quilt but I want to get a little more stitching in on it before I share a progress photo with you.  I also have some lovely gifts that I received from 2 of my dear blog friends.  I'll share photos of those in the next day or so too!

Until then, have a good night!

Busy As A Bee!

Well, Spring is coming!  At least that's what I keep telling myself.  For my readers on the east coast, my heart goes out to you!  I'd be out of mind if we were getting that much snow.  Oh wait, been there, done that!  I do try to have a sense of humor about my depression experience! 

Anyway, I spent today listing things that mom and I made.  I didn't even get everything done before I had to say, "enough"!  I'm spent now so I'll be heading off shortly for a nice warm bubble bath and a few magazines.  I'll list the rest of our things over the weekend.

In the meantime, I thought I share photos of our creations.  First is my mom's latest St. Patrick's Day Tussy Mussy:



Isn't she pretty?  And so cute with her little Irish Setter!

Next mom made some Easter ornaments:



And some Blanket Babies with Bunnies:



Those are just so sweet!  and perfect for New Baby package tie on's!

My offereings are these pretty little Shamrock Ladies:



I did 4 of them but if you look closely (click on the images), you'll see that each one has a different Irish lady on it.  These were fun to make!

And this is my Piece De Resistance: 



My Marie Antoinette Trinket Box!  Oh, how pleased I am with this!  And so much fun.  I used a ton of my vintage millinery flowers and some vintage rhinestones that I painstakingly took out of some junk jewelry that I bought at a flea market awhile back.

I have all sorts of new projects planned.  I have to keep a journal for my ideas now! 

Tomorrow will be another day with mom and flying glitter!  Ha, ha, ha!  After then bank and post office of course!

For now, I'll leave you with an update on Block #7 of my Garden Crazy Quilt:



Not quite done yet.  Still a little ways to go.  Have a good evening everyone.  I think I'll have Scott order carry out.
