Christmas Tree Purse Update

I started stitching on my Christmas purse yesterday:



I know the red flower appliqué looks a bit obnoxious at the moment. Trust me, by the time I'm done beading it, it'll look great!

I'm off to run my sewing machine now.

Don't forget, there's still plenty of time to join in on the Counted Cross Stitch Christmas Mystery Stitch-Along Project. you can find more information here.

Christmas Ornament & New Purse

I finished up the little Christmas Lady ornament last night:



The silver branch to the left of the image is from a glittered floral arrangement pick. I bought a whole bunch of them last year on sale at Michaels. If I can sew it on, I will sew it on!

So, this will be my next project:



Christmas is not my favorite holiday. I actually enjoy Thanksgiving a lot more but I thought it would be nice to have a pretty holiday purse. I bought the vintage tree pin at a recent flea market.

I've decided that this weekend will be a sewing weekend for me. I have 5 projects that need finishing so I'll work on those tomorrow and hopefully can spend Sunday sewing up some new blocks. I like to have a whole pile of things ready to stitch on so that's my plan!

Finished!

I finished up this little cat doll yesterday:



As soon as I can get in some sewing time, I'll assemble this and the pink one and get them ready to send to Jo in NZ for the Comfort Doll Project.

I'm off to wash my floors for now. Have a great weekend! I'll see ya on Monday.

Almost Done....

I started on this yesterday but didn't quite get it finished:



I'm sure I'll have time later today to finish it up and I'll post a photo for you tomorrow.

More Comfort Cats

I stitched up the brown comfort cat yesterday:



These really do stitch up quite quickly. A couple of hours and bam! A pretty little cat doll!
I'm going to stitch one more up and send both of these to Jo in NZ:



This one kind of screams "under the sea" but I'm not sure that's what I'll do with it. I think it's just the colors. Stop by tomorrow to see where it goes.
