Harrison Fisher Purse Stitching Complete

I finished this Harrison Fisher Purse up early this morning.  Well, the stitching is complete:

The white embroidered flowers on the bottom right were already on the fabric.  I just embellished it with sequins, beads and that little vintage bird brooch.  I hope to get this sewn up later during the week.

In the meantime, my aunt asked me for another cellphone pouch so I started on that this morning too.  Will have photos to share soon.

For now, I have some cute cat photos of Cotton and Wrigley:

I can't use the flash with Cotton.  It must bother his eyes.  He's so cute and so little!  I don't think he weighs more than 4 1/2 pounds!  He's a little over 4 months old now.

And here's Wrigley:

He was 1/2 asleep when I took this.  Wrigley is a little over 6 months old now and just look at the size of him:

He's not fat.  He's just fluffy!  He's going to be a big boy!

Harrison Fisher Purse Continued

I spent the last 2 days sewing!  I probably ran my treadle machine around the world twice now!  My next 4 model blocks for my Color & Composition class are ready to stitch, I sewed up several purse blocks and a couple of gifts.  I really gave that machine a work out!  But I love sewing on it!  Don't laugh but I like to see how fast I can get it going!  LOL!!!

Wrigley loves it too!  I took this pic the day after we adopted him back in May.

I've also been stitching on this Harrison Fisher Crazy Quilt Purse:

My aunt asked to make another cellphone pouch for someone she knows so that will be my next project.

In other news, nothing lasts forever.  I had to buy a new car.  My 94 Towncar has done good for me all these years but it is almost 20 years old now (I've been driving it since 96) and it's time for something new.  I bought a Ford Fusion.  I'll post photos as soon as I can.

Harrison Fisher Purse

I started another purse project yesterday morning, this one features a Harrison Fisher image:

This has always been one of my favorite Harrison Fisher images so I don't know if I'll keep this one or not yet.

It's been a busy day for me!  I did a lot of yard work.  Cut some things back, picked up sticks, just end of Summer stuff.

I also did a bit of Autumn decorating.  This is my garden window:

We didn't get a good crop of pumpkins this year but we had a few and some were ready to pick yesterday.  I love pumpkins.  They're happy looking!

And this is my kitchen table:

I love old mason jars and use them for so many things, including vases!
