Crafting in 2022

[minihorse]

I’m not sure if this counts as crafting or not, but I created some photo coasters and ordered them from vistaprint. They come in a set of 4. The coaster is on a white towel so you can see it better. I think they turned out pretty cute!

Counted or not, it's pretty cute just the same. Nice craft?

I just made Breezy a cute little Valentine’s Day blanket.

Oh goodness, I reconize that blanket!! How does Breezy like it? It is SO cute!
I can't believe the size difference between him and Soda! Here is Sodapop in her matching (but much less fancy!) blanket!

I can only imagine how teensy tiny she would be next to him!


And here she is in her new halter





The dye I used was my Grandfathers, and was salvaged and re-hydrated, is at least 40 years old, and I'm honestly very impressed with how well it did. I wanted to use something of his to do this that would be a major part of the halter, and this colour is perfect and I am so excited to see how it ages. She needs to grow into it length-wise, and I need to re-do the 'chin' of it once she gets bigger, but for now it works very well. She is less annoyed by it then her nylon halter, it's more pliable and fits to her face. I think the turquoise brings out her eyes. I learned a lot while making this. I am excited to make her next halter, that will be rainbow-themed!

Yes! That’s the blanket from the Dollar Tree I didn’t use the entire blanket, I butchered it all up so the hearts would be facing a certain way.

Love the new halter! So pretty

I noticed it really looked nice with her eyes. Good job!

HEYYYYYY!! Your hubby and I have the same sense of humor! I've got the same one saved on my computer.

My Monica girl is a Bloodhound mix, however, she gets that same *meth Lab* face when she has the zoomies every afternoon. She peels out like a frog....with her haunches dropped and legs flying every which way. I'll have to stop laughing so hard and grab a video to share.

I've been on an apron kick. Started out making one for my sister's birthday and now I have about 5. Good thing I have more sisters!

Cat pillows coming in hot, hot, HOT!



I’m not the best sewer, but I get by. I am use to doing straight lines with a straight stitch, so this was a bit of a challenge for me. They said to use a zig zag stitch, which I did. My first time using that stitch and I have to say it made me a little dizzy then I realized I shouldn’t watch the needle, I should watch where I am feeding my fabric through.



Now all I need is some stuffing and we will be good to go.

 

[minihorse]

Nice work. Not bad for a not the best sewer?

Your own design? Nice work!

Thanks! I found a picture on online. I wanted it bigger, so I had my hubby draw it bigger for me on 2 8x10 sheets of paper. Hubby is an artist and can draw anything.… me, not so much

Show & Tell when you get the stuffing in there. Will he have eyes and whiskers?

 

[Kelly]

No, I’m not going to do eyes and whiskers this time. Ill post more pics once I get them stuffed

 

[MaryFlora]

That is super cute! Who is the lucky duck that gets such a cool pillow?

 

[Kelly]

Me! LOL LOL….. but I am thinking of making my Mom one for Christmas. She is a cat lady too

Even if you don't make a face, a ribbon around its neck with a bell would be fun.

Here is a cat I made several years ago. My decor is primitive, so he is not elegant. Notice the mouse hanging by the tail.

I have two friends that sew. One of them is quite very...bothered...that I don't.

I hear Kelly say she can't Seward then she does...^^^^^...THAT. Does that mean that if I bought a sewing machine, I might be able to sew a little, too? I have a passing interest, just no encouragement.
