The pig

My youngest son enjoys Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland - he tells me that in the latest one out the Red Queen shouts for her 'pig', it is brought to her (a live pig) and she uses it as a step stool. Well, my son decided he wanted a 'pig' of his own, so I made him one. It is stuffed with foam pieces in an inner pig and the outside is made of mottled pink and white polar fleece that closes with Velcro.

My make believe kitchen window

I sure miss having a window in my kitchen, so I decided to see if I could make a fake one - think it turned out fairly well.

door knob hangers

These have been just so much fun to sew up - cut the shapes out of some fabric that lent itself to this with pinking sheers - put the same design on both sides - sewed three sides (w/ribbon) stuffed it and then sewed the bottom - what a blast.

Origami bag - 2011

Haven't made one of these in a year or more, and thought it would make a neat prize for Bingo. I'll make a couple more before next week.

Thats a picture of my new lamp shade - I just love it. Also, throw pillow for the sofa - trying to go to lighter colors.

small pillows

I used the vanishing nine patch for the fronts of these pillows (12" X 12"). One has a yoyo on the front, the other has psuedo suede cloth on the reverse side.

For those who don't know what a yo yo is, they are the little round disks in the picture on the right. (Twin didn't know what one was).

Pillow cases and coasters

Having fun the last few days just sewing up a storm - pillow cases with ruffles and a set of coasters that I will probably use as prize for Bingo this Wednesday.

The bunny

This fabric is a little hard to make out details with. I have to make her a sun dress yet - it will be in either white or muslin fabric. Remind me that I don't care to do dolls....
