Crazy Quilt Purse - Edwardian Lady

As promised, I have an update on my current Crazy Quilt project, an Edwardian Lady purse.  In this photo, you can see that I've added lace, trim and stitching to all of the seams:

And in this photo, I've added flowers around the image:

Now, I need to tear myself away from the computer and start adding beads!  My favorite part!!  I'll be putting this purse in our Boutique when I have it finished.  I have 2 more Edward Lady blocks to stitch up.  I'll be making them into handbags as well.

Boutique Valentines

Jan left a comment for me this morning saying that I was a busy lady!  Yes, I am.  When the hands are occupied the mind is occupied.  Keeping busy, keeps me from going crazy.  Short trip, that's for sure!

Anyway, I just added some new Handmade Valentines to our Boutique.  First, 2 more of mom's beautiful Victorian style Tussy Mussy's:

Then I added these sweet little Pink Angel Ornaments that I made:

I hand painted the metal stars pink (had to be pink!) and then added the pink organza ribbon, fancy yarns and the paper angel image.  The wings are dusted with glitter.  Surprised?

I have to pretty up the main page a little more and do some of the technical stuff and I hope to have the site ready for the new URL announcement tomorrow!

News from Kitty & Me Designs

Just a quickie for today ladies.  I've decided to move my shop to it's own website.  I've already purchased the site and starting setting up the information but I'm having a terrible time figuring it out.  I keep going in circles!

Anyway, as soon as I have it ready, I will post again.  In meantime, my products are still available at my Shabby Chic Boutique on Etsy.
