Crazy Quilt Cat Pillow

I'm in the process of finishing up a few projects but I also started a new project.  I'm always in various stages of doing things.  It's just how I work!  Anyway, here is my Crazy Quilt Cat Pillow.  I just started on this yesterday:

And here's a closeup of the seam treatment across the bottom left:

The flowers are a woven rose worked with 1 strand of Watercolours by The Caron Collection.  Then I added french knots around the outside in 7MM silk ribbon that I hand dyed.  I'm sure I'll be adding beads to this but I usually do all my stitching first.  I just thought this was kind of cool looking and thought you'd enjoy seeing it too.  Click on the photo to see a larger image!

Glittered Reindeer Ornaments

Ya'll know mom and I love our glitter!  Mom started on a few Christmas ornaments.  Yes, I know it seams early but we have to work a few months in advance so here are mom's Glittered Reindeer Ornaments:

Tomorrow, I expect to have a few little ornaments that I made along with a cat doll that I started stitching on yesterday and am almost finished with.

Pink Cellphone Pouch

I mentioned the other day that my aunt asked me if I would make a pink crazy quilt cellphone pouch for her neighbor.  Of course, you never have to ask me twice to make something in pink!  Ya'll know it's my favorite color!  Anyway, I finished it up early this morning.  I mean very early!  Thanks to some very rude people who were shooting off fireworks at 2:00 a.m. this morning!

Anyway, here's the stitched piece:

The cameo is carved Mother Of Pearl.  It's really pretty!  I did a lot of ribbon roses on here with my hand dyed silk ribbon.  The flowers on the bottom left are just shank buttons with French Knots worked in 7MM silk ribbon going around the buttons.

I have several birthdays coming up so I'm working on a few gifts.  When I have a couple of them done, I'll sew this up along with the others and I'll share another photo.

Pink Cellphone Pouch

My aunt asked me if I would make a pink crazy quilt cellphone pouch for her neighbor.  I sewed it up over the weekend and starting stitching on it yesterday.  This is what I have so far:

I'm sure I'll have this finished up tomorrow. 

In the meantime, I have a couple of new pictures of my Lucy:

Isn't she a beauty?  She's still mad at me for taking Nightmare from her and giving her the little "monster".  Wrigley is actually a really good kitten but Lucy doesn't see it that way.
