Collectible Cat Dolls

I did a lot of sewing yesterday.  I have both pillows sewn up but still have a bit of handwork to do on them before they're ready for photos.  I'll share those tomorrow.

I also finished up my little Green and Pink Cat Doll:

And speaking of my Cat Dolls, I have a few ladies who like to collect them.  I thought it would be fun to start dating and numbering them so starting in 2012, my little art doll cats will be dated and numbered on the back.

I will also start a page here on my blog for dating purposes.  It'll take me awhile to put this together since I've made so many of these cats over the years.  I'll start on that in the next few days and if nothing else, it'll be fun for everyone to see all the pretty little cats that I've made.

Yes, A Few More Cat Dolls

As always, between larger projects, I like to stitch up a couple of little things.  I always gravitate to my little crazy quilt cat dolls.  I stitched this one up the other day:

And this little one is what I'm working on now:

They never really look like much until I get them sewn together!

Anyway, at this moment, I don't have to go anywhere today.  Unless mom calls and needs me to run uptown for something, I plan to sew these 2 pieces together today:

I'm thinking pillows but we'll see.

Little Girls In Yellow Roses Stitching Completed

This bright and cheerful crazy quilt block will most likely be sewn into a pillow:

I just love the little Victorian girls in the roses!  I was looking at it yesterday and thinking it would make a pretty pillow so I'll add a green border and some pretty lace.  I'm hoping to have some sewing time tomorrow.

Here is the crazy quilt seam embroidery:

Pink and Green Crazy Quilt Christmas Pillow by Mom

Just a quick post for today everyone.  Dad is home and doing well.  I need to run to WalMart and pick a few things up for my mom.

For now, I wanted to share mom's latest crazy quilt pillow:

Yes, mom caught the crazy quilt bug!  Mom's beautiful Christmas Crazy Quilt Pillow is available in our Boutique and in our Etsy shop.

Little Girls In Yellow Roses

Sandie told me that I must stitch in my sleep!  LOL!!!!   Stitching is therapy for me as it is for many people.  I make sure I have plenty of time for it every day.  And I don't always sleep well so it's a good way to spend my early morning hours!  Here's my newest piece:

I've always loved the Victorian images of the little girls in the flowers!  The lace appliques are a bit bright but I'll soften them with beadwork.

My dad's surgery is today so please keep him in your thoughts.
