Vintage Craft Book Score!

 I almost passed up this vintage craft book 
when I saw the cover art,
but the title grabbed me since I love applique.
I'm glad I looked inside, 
just take a look at some examples....




Well worth the 99 cents!
Bye for now!

Crazy Chenille Cats

 I made these cute Halloween cats
using the method for my pumpkins.
I just added little ears and a tail,
and some button eyes and yarn whiskers.
I think they turned out pretty fun!

New Chalet Pin for Fall

 I've got a new style of chalet pin in my shop
that is a tad bit smaller than my first chalets,
but still has lots of details, 
like the deer and tree.
It also come in great fall colors!
I will be making more in the size in the future.


I'm working on ideas for Christmas pins to, 
like a Christmas cat
and a Christmas gnome!
What do you think?
Bye for now!

rework them. They are a little too loose.
