Stitched Together

OK, so this post is a little late but this was my V-day present to the hubby.  And yes, in case you are wondering, it look EXACTLY like us. 

I use pieces of our old clothing for the appliques. This is something I'd like to do more of, re-purposing clothes, linens etc that I already have. The back of the pillow is made from one of Bill's old sweaters.

I logged in quite a few hours putting this baby together but in the end was quite pleased. I think he liked it too.

Nuts about Partying

This little critter is now available in the shop. There are only three and one is already taken ...by me. I think it'll look precious in a certain little girl's nursery.

You've Gotta Protect Your Files

Sometimes a girl's just gotta whip up a pretty little laptop sleeve for her iBook before a pending business trip. Especially if the one she had (and liked) was somehow puked on by the precious little kitty in the previous post. I used some Leftover curtain fabric I had in my stash with a really soft green flannel for the inside. Between the two layers I added some extra padding in the way of felted wool. I finished her up with a little pink handstiching...and voila! I just have to keep this one out of little kitties reach.

Totally Necessary

Seeing as we've been having a pretty cold winter here I had to make this discrete, matelesse bean stuffed tube to keep the chilly drafts at bay. This door that leads to our deck is framed a little less than perfectly and when the wind is a whipping you can really feel it coming through the bottom.
As a precautionary measure I also felt it necessary to crochets a little cap for my little cat. I think she really appreciates it despite the look on her face. And don't worry, it ties around her neck in case she feels the need to shake it off :)

I told you there was a theme...

Back by popular command! These precious gnome ornaments are an update of last years version that was available through my old shop Sweetninja. This year...double the pleasure...double the fun! They come as a couple instead of a lonely little guy. Everyone likes company during the holidays! Little gnome couples are now available in the shop.
