Button Block #27 Completed

I finished up on Button Block #27 this morning:



Later today, I'll start on Button Block #28:



I also worked up a few new charted borders:

Be sure to keep your eye here on my blog as I'll be adding a few additional borders over the next few days.

Button Block #27

Just a quick update on my current button block:



As you can see, I have the seams covered now and I just filled my stitching basket with beads.

It's snowing here, again, so I'll be stitching on this for the rest of the day.

Happy Thanksgiving

With all that I have read and with all that I have experienced in my own life using The Secret, the power of gratitude stands above everything else. Rhonda Byrne - The Secret

I just wanted to take a breather here before my company comes to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and to say thanks for reading my blog! I hope you are all inspired by my stitching and my chatter about self-expression & the nature of reality.

Cat Dolls

I had an order for 8 custom Glitter Cards so I spent my weekend working on those. I also added a few new ones here. I love making them but I still have glitter from one end of my house to the other!





My next projects will be a couple of my little cat dolls for Christmas Gifts:



I hope to start on this later today. I have a ton of these cat dolls sewn up and I know I can't stitch all of them so I'll be putting some together with some vintage lace and packaging them up for my Etsy shop. That's on my list for tomorrow.

Finished Cellphone Pouches

Just a quick update for today. I finished up these cellphone pouches this afternoon:





I still have to add the snaps and the chains but other than that, they're finished.
