Christmas is Coming!

Visit my ETSY SHOP to check out these cute Vintage Cat Christmas Pillows!

I love this fabric I found SO much I think I'm gonna have to make myself a pillow!

Also finished a cute pillow ornament/door-hanger that I'll get listed tomorrow.  Making Christmas things is so much fun!  I really need to get out & do some more Christmas SHOPPING though.  My plan to slow down this year isn't working out so well.  Too many FUN things to do!!!

Vintage Christmas Kitties

Hi There!

Sorry ~ I know my posts have been FEW & FAR BETWEEN lately but I'm still alive & kickin' in my little art studio here! Lately most of my time's been taken up by making my daughter's old room into a new "Guest Room". It's just about finished so I'm looking forward to having more time to get at least 1 or 2 Christmas paintings done & some more vintage pillows & ornaments!

Above are pictures of a new pillow & stuffed ornament I finished last weekend. They have already SOLD but I wanted to show them to you. I just got some more fabric so hopefully more pillows will be on the way soon!

Right now I'm trying to worry less about getting artwork done & concentrate more on the JOY of the season & spending time with family & friends! I never seem to have enough time to bake & go to all the holiday activities I'd like so I've vowed to slow down this year! So if I'm not posting much over the next month - that's why.

Hope YOU are taking TIME to enjoy this beautiful Christmas season! God Bless.



The Cutest "Meow" Song Ever!

You may have seen this already but it's SO CUTE I had to post it!

The boys have beautiful voices & did a great job of keeping a straight face.

Anyway, ENJOY IT!

Vintage Halloween & WIP

Cute Vintage Kitties



Sweet Vintage Witch

I just LOVE the old vintage holiday images!  Hmmm...I think I just said that in one of my last posts.

Oh well, I DO love them & last week I found this adorable Trio of Cats wooden cut-out.  Their hats & bows are so cute!  Couldn't resist.

I also keep seeing more & more of the cute little witch & her black cat.  I've had the little framed picture for a few years,  recently found the candle globe at a Yankee outlet store (cheap!) & made the pillow for my Etsy Shop.

I decided to do my own interpretation of the little witch in a painting & below is my sketch.  Hopefully I can get her finished this weekend & listed in time for Halloween.

Work in Progress

HAVE A FABULOUS FALL WEEKEND!!!

New Homes for my Fosters!

FELIX - adopted 10-13-11

FIONA - adopted 10-8-11

FRANKIE - adopted 10-13-11

SO HAPPY to report that 3 of my recent foster babies were adopted last week!

Felix, Fiona & Frankie all have furrever loving homes now.

I'm sure they are being completely spoiled & loved to pieces by their new owners!

SO rewarding to have helped them on their journey to their new lives.

Little Fifi, my other female tux kitten, was just shy of 2 pounds when I returned her so she has to gain a few ounces before she can be altered & then placed for adoption.  Should be any day now though.

Working on some FALL projects & will post them when finished!

Happy Monday!

Halloween Pillows with a Vintage Touch!

It time to decorate for HALLOWEEN!!!

I just LOVE vintage greeting cards & was so excited to find some fabric printed with lots of the old images!  I especially like the ones with CATS on them (of course).  The sentiments are great too - love the "Jolly Halloween" one!

I made 3 cute new Halloween pillows & appliqued the fabric image blocks on the front with a blanket stitch.  They are all in the SHOP right now so have a look & have fun getting your house all decked out for the holiday!

HAPPY MEOWLOWEEN!

Feline Friday - Foster Furries

Little Frankie

Fifi

Felix

Fiona

Here is my latest crew of foster furries.  They are 4 littermates - 3 tuxes & 1 lone gray.  It took me a few days to learn to tell the tuxes apart!  I have them for 2 weeks so they can grow big enough to be altered & placed for adoption.  They are SO adorable & playful! 

I LOVE the picture of little gray Frankie on the chair with the stuffed bear!  I'm a bit partial to him because he's the smallest & sweetest of the bunch.  He also has the same name as my late dad & that makes him even more endearing to me.

They are all eating well & using their litter boxes ~ with the exception of someone who had diarrhea yesterday & left several small deposits on the floor for me to clean up!  I later ran to the grocery store to mail an order & looked down to discover I had poop on my sleeve!  The life of fostering kittens!

FALL IS HERE!  Have an awesome weekend!
