Pink Ribbon Purse Progress

I did a lot of stitching yesterday.  Actually, all I really did all day was laundry and stitching and that's okay!  I made quite a bit of progress on my Pink Ribbon Purse:

I'm planning on some Silk Ribbon Embroidery on that vine and I have some glittery pink ladybug buttons that I'd like to add to this.

In other news, Scott and I are heading up to Elkhorn Wisconsin this morning for the final Elkhorn Flea Market of the season.  :(   At least we have Grayslake Illinois Flea Markets all Winter.  And speaking of Winter, I think my Hummingbirds have left for the season.  I always feel sad when they leave.  It seams like it'll be a long time before they return the end of April.

I have loads of stitching planned.  Perhaps I need to do a purse with a Hummingbird?

Pink Ribbon Purse - Ready for Beading and Embellishing

The other day, I mentioned that I'm working on a Pink Ribbon Crazy Quilt purse.  I know way too many people who deal with Breast Cancer in some way and I want to do something to help the cause.  Here is an update on my progress so far:

This is ready for beads, sequins and other embellishments.  When I complete this, I will make it available in my Boutique and I will donate a portion of the sale to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.  I will also make the charted cross stitch design for the pink ribbon available as a free download.  I designed that pink ribbon a few years back in my cross stitch designer days.  I hope to have this ready on or about October 1st since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Purple and Green Crazy Quilt Door Pillow

Just a few updates on things I've been working on.  First, is the little door pillow that I made as a class example this past weekend:

Then this morning, I started stitching on my Pink Ribbon Purse:

I'm going to make myself get off the computer now, take my shower and then stitch on this some more while I watch Dancing With The Stars.  I'm not particularly thrilled with any of the "stars" this season but hopefully it'll get better.

Victorian Thanksgiving Tussy Mussy's with Turkeys

Mom has been busy working on new things for the Boutiques.  These are her latest creations, Victorian Thanksgiving Tussy Mussy's:

I just love these pretty little paper cones!

Tomorrow, I'll share the little door pillow that I made as a class example.  It really came out nice!  For now, I need to get dinner ready so I can sit and enjoy Dancing With The Stars!

Crazy Quilt Class Example Block

Just a quick little post for today everyone.  I thought I'd share a photo of the crazy quilt block that I stitching on as an example for my class this weekend:

There will be buttons!  LOL!!!  Today, we'll be doing some more beading and embellishing and then I'll be sharing the process of how to sew these into door pillows.  For now, I have to get myself together and get my cats their pills.
