Silk Ribbon Flowers

Firefox seems to be moving as slowly as I am these days.  I've been trying to blog for almost an hour now. 

I've been working on some silk ribbon flowers around the image of the kittens on my cat purse:

I have some more ribbon work to do and then I'll start embellishing that lace applique a little more.

I've been in slow motion since I lost my little Simba.  It's getting better but it takes time.

Kitty Purse

I did a little bit of stitching yesterday.  Here's an update on my kitty purse:

And here's a closeup of the lace applique which I "colored" with tiny 4 mm sequins:

It's time now for some flowers.

I'll be working on this some more today.  For the record, today's blog post is brought to you by Lucy:

Kitty Purse Update

I did a lot of weed pulling yesterday.  There's always plenty of weeds.  It was a beautiful day and spending part of it outside felt good.

I also worked a little on my kitty purse:

I want to do some Silk Ribbon flowers around the kitties.

I also added a few of mom's new things to the shop:

Beautiful embroidery!

Ready For Stitching

My little kitty purse is ready for some stitching.  I have the lace pieces and trims all sewn down now:

I added a piece of white cotton fabric behind the kitty image to keep the blue silk fabric from showing through the image.

I don't really have any plans for today other than some stitching and laundry.  I may try to sew up my little seascapes but haven't decided yet for sure.  I haven't felt like sewing but we'll see.
