Thimble Love

 

Yes, I collect thimbles too! These are my most recent purchases.

Handmade Cat Trio

This cute cat trio consists of a paper-pieced bookmark, a matching paper-pieced pincushion, and a cross-stitched ceramic cat pincushion. I bought the ceramic dish at a yard sale (bone china made in England). It's hard to tell by the picture, but there is a boat with two cats in it on one side of the dish. So cute! I just had to stitch up a small cat's face to create this unique item!

Cat straight pins purchased from Etsy.

My Garden Hopper

Ta-da! Here is my new toy! I've had it for a few weeks now. It was on display in the living room up until today. I knew once it went outside it would get all dirty (sad face). So, here it is. I used it this afternoon for the very first time! It is rather cute, don't you think?

Cross Stitch Love

I want you to know that I haven't been idly sitting around and not doing my cross-stitch and other sewing projects. Unfortunately, work and life get in the way sometimes. I was working on a cross-stitched dollhouse (two actually) that took FOREVER! So many small sections with lots of floss colours. They are finally finished! I posted one of them in my ETSY shop. Please check it out!

She looks like an angel, but she's the devil in disguise. All 6 pounds, 10 ounces of her! She's bratty and she picks on the dog!

A Day at the Mall

I couldn't resist taking a few pictures of the mall displays yesterday. I thought they were soooooo cute!
