Large Cellphone Pouches Are Finished!

Wow!  Now that I'm done with my yard for this season, I'm actually getting some things done!  I have to loads to share here but for today, here are my latest Cellphone Pouches:

Since phones are getting larger again, I've been making Large Cellphone Neck Pouches.  And since I'm planning on getting a new IPhone after the holidays, I'll make a new one for myself. But that's after the holidays!

I added chains to these with lobster claw clasps so they're removable.  It's great for walking when you don't want to have to carry anything.

In other news, I just finished up 4 Crazy Quilt Tree Ornaments so I'll have photos of those tomorrow.

My current project is another Christmas pillow so be sure to stop back and see that too.  Then I have to make another gift.  I only have 2 more to do and I'm trying to pace myself, alternating between gifts and things for my Etsy store.

I'll leave you today with the cutest little video.  My dad sent me this the other day.  Ya'll know how much I just love animals and I think you'll get a big kick out of this.  It's called, Cats Stealing Dog Beds.  Enjoy!

A Beautiful Crazy Quilt

I've been doing the hand finishing on a few of my recent projects but feel like I'm in slow motion.  I can't seem to complete anything!  Thankfully, Karin, one of my students from my recent Color and Composition Crazy Quilt Class sent me photos of not only her Lesson 9 block but also, her completed quilt. 

What a treat!  Karin's quilt is gorgeous!  But first, here's her lesson 9 block:

The required elements are all here.  Isn't this stunning?  But here's the real treat:

Isn't this beautiful?  What a lovely quilt!  Thank you Karin, not only for taking my class but for sending me the photos of your exquisite work to share here on my blog.

I still feel bad that I had to cancel the class but many of my students had things come up that interfered with them being able to work on this project.  I hope everyone who worked on the blocks enjoyed them.

Sewing, Sewing and More Sewing

I usually wait until I have a few things that need finishing and then I sew up a storm to get them done.  Today, I sewed up the Peacock purse that I made last week:

And I sewed together the cellphone pouches that made a few weeks back:

I still have the hand finishing to do on all of these but I have a full schedule tomorrow so I doubt I'll get that until Thursday.  I'll have more photos when these are completely done.

In the meantime, I thought you might like to see my Halloween Centerpiece:

I know, I'm a bad kitty mom!  I've tried to teach my cats to stay off my table but I just haven't had any luck since our first cat Garfield.  He never got on the table!  But every one I've had since thinks my dining room table is a perch.  And I just don't have the heart to swoop them off.  If you ever come over for tea and cookies, please know that I'm a constant cleaner!!!

Cottage Christmas Tree Ornaments

Mom and I spent the weekend making some pretty Cottage style Christmas tree ornaments.  These are mom's:

And these are the ornaments that I made:

Mom and I have a good time making things together.  Did I ever mention that I like pink?  LOL!!!
