Blue Crazy Quilt Cat Doll

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  Ours was very nice.  A traditional turkey dinner at mom's with my aunt and uncle.  Good food (mom is an awesome cook) and quiet conversation.

I'm almost done with the stitching on this crazy quilt cat doll:

I just need to add a few little do-dads.  Perhaps a butterfly or 2.

And here is the seam embroidery:

I'll be sewing these up and finishing them today so stop back to see photos over the weekend.

Crazy Quilt Cellphone Pouches

I finally finished up my little Crazy Quilt Cellphone Pouches:

I love making these little pouches.  Well, except for sewing the snaps on!  LOL!!!  I think I'll sew up a few more the next time I have a sewing machine day. 

Today I'll be heading over to my mom's house to help her with Thanksgiving for tomorrow.  First, I have to run to WalMart for a few things.  I want to get there early before everyone else does!

A quick update on my dad.  It wasn't a kidney stone.  Surgery is scheduled for the first week in December.  May I say that I absolutely hate the "C" word!!!!!  I think everything will be okay.  I hope so anyway.  It hasn't completely sunk into my crazy ADD brain yet.  Please keep him in your thoughts for me.

On a final note, we offering 10% off at our Boutiques now through Sunday, November 27th.  Use Coupon Code:  BlackFriday at Kitty and Me Designs & Kitty and Me on Etsy.

Large Pink Cat Doll

Yesterday, at 2 am, I somehow managed to bump my electric wax tart melter that I keep on my stove.  I keep it there so it's away from the cats and I can't burn candles because I forget to put them out.  What can I say?  ADD. So I use a little wax tart melter and Yankee tarts to make my house smell like I'm always baking.  Well, I bumped it while making coffee so I had wax all over my stove and all over the wall behind my stove.  It took me over an hour to clean it all up!

After all that, I said AMEN!  I'm stitching!!!  And I did.  I finished up my Pink Cat Doll:

If you look closely at the photo at the top, you can see his little ears!  I have one more large cat doll to stitch up.  That one is blue.  I'll start on it later today.

In the meantime, here is the seam embroidery from the Pink Cat Doll:

I also finally got my little cellphone pouches all sewn up.  All I have left to do on those is to sew on the trim and the little snaps.  I plan to get that done today.

My dad has a Dr.'s appt. today for that final test.  The others all came back normal.  Mom and I are thinking he passed a kidney stone.  I'll be going with him today in case he needs me to drive home.  I suggested that he just let me drive my Towncar because I'm more comfortable driving my own vehicle but that was a "no go".  Men!  They're so stubborn!

Large Crazy Quilt Cat Dolls and Seam Embroidery

Here I am at 3 am.  Blogging and getting ready to stitch.  Is it Spring yet?  I sleep better in the Spring and Summer than I do this time of year.

My insomnia does pay off at times.  I finished up the stitching on my Purple Cat Doll yesterday:

If you look closely, especially at the top where the dark purple fabric is, you can see the outline of the cat.

And here are the seam embroidery closeup photos:

I'm keeping a Crazy Quilt Seam Treatment Inspiration Gallery page (at the top of my blog).  It's a quick reference for seam treatment ideas.  I was adding the newest photos to the bottom of the page but I've decided to add the new ones at the top.  That way, for anyone who follows my seam treatments, you don't have to keep scrolling down to the bottom to see what's new. 

I didn't get my cell phone pouches sewn up but I did pull the fabrics out for finishing them.  I'd like to get them sewn today.

And I did do a little straightening up in my room and I made a double batch of Pumpkin Muffins and a double batch of Banana Muffins.  I got the laundry done and I started stitching on this Pink and Green Cat Doll:

I'll be working on that momentarily.

The one other thing I did yesterday was to switch out my stitching thread basket.  I had a small one that I kept my threads in but they really didn't quite fit.  I decided to use my Garfield's basket to keep my threads in since my little kitties don't use it.  I don't know why.  Garfield's been gone 2 1/2 years now so I would have thought one of them would have taken it over but they didn't. 

Garfield was a big boy.  18 pounds at his healthiest!  So we had a good size basket for him.  Anyway, it's my thread basket now and it makes me think of him.  I like that.
