Handmade By Mom

Just a quick little update on a few new things made by mom.  First, this little Cross Stitch Door Hanging Pillow:

Mom must have stitched this piece a few years ago.  With the glaucoma that she has, she doesn't see well enough to do counted cross now.  At least not on 28 count fabric over 2 threads!

Mom also made these old fashioned Candy Cane ornaments:

Bubba has a bonfire going now so I'm going to go sit outside for a little while.  Then I'll take my shower and finish up on my little blue Christmas Cat Doll.

Christmas Cat Doll in White

It's a little hard to see the outline of the cat on this white crazy quilt cat doll but I finished the stitching on him last night:

I have one more Christmas Cat Doll to stitch up.  The next one will be light blue and I'm thinking of stitching and embellishing him in gold. 

I also have a Breast Cancer Awareness Cat Doll to stitch.  I ordered a Pink Ribbon Charm with crystals to use on him but it hasn't arrived yet.

If all goes as planned, I'll have my cat dolls all stitched up by the end of the weekend and then I'd like to sew them together next week.  Be sure to stop by again to see the Christmas Litter of Kitty Dolls!  Then I'll be making Snowman Dolls!

Traditional Christmas Cat Doll

I mentioned in my post yesterday that I would be making a Cat Doll in Traditional Christmas colors.  Here he is:

My next Crazy Quilt Cat Doll will be worked entirely in white and silver.  I hope to have time for that one today but I do have to get groceries and do the finishing on a few projects. 

Mint Green Christmas Cat Doll

It doesn't look like much but it'll be really pretty cat doll once I sew it together:

I wish I had some more interesting things to talk about but at the moment, I'm dealing with Zoloft withdrawals (what else is new) and I feel like I've been hit by a truck.  I spent most of the day yesterday laying on the bed and watching Food channel.  I have zip for energy and just folding laundry takes everything I have.  I finally had to make myself stitch so this cat is ready to sew together.

My next cat doll will be more traditional Christmas colors.  Be sure to stop back to see that one!

Crazy Quilt Cat Dolls for Christmas

I spent Saturday morning running my beloved treadle machine:

I sewed up 6 cat dolls and 5 snowman dolls.  When I finished sewing, I immediately started stitching!  This Christmas Cat doll is ready for sewing together:

And I started on this one yesterday:

They really don't look like much now but when finished, they'll look like this:

I have a project to sew together today and then I'll be back to stitching on my kitty dolls.

BTW - It's Tuesday so that means Tuesday's Treasures at Shabby Lane Shops!  My cat dolls are on sale today!  Offer only good at Kitty And Me Designs Website.
