White Peacock Purse

We had more snow last night and more is expected tonight into tomorrow.  This has been some Winter!  And I sure do hope that we're coming to the end of it!  Thankfully, the sun is out now. 

My White Peacock Purse is coming along.  I started doing some beading on it this morning:

The lime green patch on the left was just a little too intense so I added a lace overly on part of it which tones it down a bit.  The trim along the edge is a ribbon type yarn, gathered and hand sewn down.

Here are a couple of close ups of the beaded seams I was working on this morning:

I finished up a couple of pretty little Easter Bunny Brooches yesterday.  I'll have photos of those this coming week.  And mom made a few Easter door hangers so I'll share those this week as well.

Mystery Purse

Well, it looks like we have a correct guess on my mystery purse.  Before I give you the correct answer, here is an update photo:

And here are close up photos of the seam treatments so far:

So what is the theme of this crazy quilt purse?  Cris in MT guessed correctly.  It'll be a peacock!  A white peacock.  Be sure to follow my progress!  I have a unique way of doing peacocks on my crazy quilt pieces!

Any Guesses?

I finished stitching my current purse project:

Next week, I'll take a day and get my most recent stitched projects sewn up and assembled.

In the meantime, this will be my next project:

Does anyone want to take a guess as to what the theme will be?

Gypsy Purse

A little more progress on my Crazy Quilt Gypsy Purse:

And here are a couple of the seam treatments that I did:

My chores and my computer work is done for the day so I'm off to stitch on this until Scott gets home from work.  More progress photos coming soon!

Kitty and Me Designs on Pinterest

I was offered the opportunity to convert my Pinterest account from a personal account to a business account.  So now, if you follow me there, you'll see my pins posted by Kitty and Me Designs instead of Pamela Kellogg.  Kind of cool I guess but I confess, it did make me laugh.  It's really not much of a business.  More like a hobby for my mom and I.  We just like to make things and we just can't keep everything we make.  Anyway, just thought I'd share that little tidbit with you.

In other news, I started stitching on my Gypsy Purse but I didn't get very far so I'll share an update on that tomorrow.  For now, I finished a special order door hanger:

I don't take on too many special orders but this was a door hanger and I like making those so it's done and ready to ship to my customer.

I also made 2 more Needle Felted Brooches:

I printed up another sheet of vintage images yesterday.  Mom and I are planning on doing a couple of craft shows this year and I want to have a bunch of them ready for the shows.  I'm going to need some more roving soon.  I can order some from Etsy but there are Fiber shows in our area coming up so I hope I can attend those.  I'll have to ask my sister if she can go.  There's one in Grayslake Illinois in June and another in Jefferson Wisconsin in September.  I'll probably order some from Etsy and then buy way too much at the fiber shows because I love craft supplies and that's just the way it is!  LOL!!!
