March 25th The quilt is done.

 Hello,  it's been a while, i know.
I have been working on a quilt along due April 1st. I got off to a slow start but was able to make up for lost time and get the quilt finished.
I love the way it turned out ,although a bit busy, I am giving this one to a friend of mine who rarely leaves her house, I think this will brighten her day and she deserves it.
The top pic is the quilt all done, and the bottom pic well Crafty Cat  thought it might be for him lol
sorry Crafty Cat not this time.

Crafty Cat

Your a brat

My daughter snapped these cute pics of Crafty Cat hanging out in our front yard.
On nice sunny days I prefer to work on my projects outside. I lay down a blanket on the driveway or bring out my mini table and chair to work off of. Normaly my cats are strictly  indoors and forbidden to go out, only they wait by the door and escape quit regularly. I do make an exception for Crafty Cat  as he stays close by (usually at my feet) and keeps me company.

How do you decorate your sewing machine ? I took this thrift store find and completely covered it in jewels, beads, buttons and other fun stuff. It's no longer funtional but makes a great decoration.

I came into my art room one day to find that my sewing machine had turned into a monster with scary teeth (post it notes added by a little prankster)

Sometimes a cat may think it's a great place to take a nap (that's kinda like a decoration. That is until I turn it on and it chases the fur ball away )

But I mostly prefer a few stickers to inspire me

Have a great Labor Day weekend !

It was so dang hot out last month !
I finally caved in about three weeks ago and turned the air conditioning on in the house . I prefer hot temperatures over cold any day but I had enough. Not only do we have a large family but they bring in friends and our home gets really hot. It was no longer tolerable and everyone was miserable so I knew it was time.
I was ready to turn the air back off this past week since it hasn't been quite as warm out. I heard nothing but protest from the family. "They like the air on"
I actually have been chilled and would prefer to open the windows back up.
So I set up a table along with some of my supplies and the sewing machine and have been working outside in the sun.

My crafty cat came out to join me one rainy day when I had to work in the garage. Although crafty cat is supposed to be indoors and should not be laying in the middle of my work. It was nice of him to visit :)
p



I bought a plastic storage container and filled it with sand and shells. When Little B comes over she can play while I work. She tells everyone she's at the beach and wants them to "go to the beach and play with her". I pull the beach into the garage when she's not at her Lolas house and put the cover on so it doesn't become a liter box.



I hope your having a great summer !
It sure is flying by.

Crafty Cat





It sure is difficult leaving anything out in my studio/art room with four cats in the house. They knock over all of the picture frames in my window ledge like a set of dominos, they jump from table top to table top to my ironing board (which ends up tossed to the ground, fabric and all) and they like to snuggle up with my work that I have setting out.
This is a pic of Crafty Cat taking a nap with the purse strap laying over the top of him.

AHHHHHHHHHH,
Really ?
REALLY !!!!!?
Crafty Cat is still getting in the middle of things, imagine that.
Of course he's not the only one. Princess thinks since she has been around the longest and is the top cat in the home, that she can do whatever she wants as well.
I do love all four of my kitties but I NEED MY SPACE.

My Home is NOT a cat free home.

Hey Crafty Cat i'm trying to get some work done. I have been trying to get stuff accomplished and my pesty crafty cat is at it again.He waits till I am all sprawled out and lays right in the middle of everything, but I love this darn cat, he is my most loving kitty and comes running to me whenever I call him.

Tune in next time for more adventures of Crafty Cat ........... ♥♥♥

I can't even have my picture taken without having Crafty Cat getting in the way.
I was having pictures taken of my bag for a listing in my Etsy shop and C.C. come sneaking into my photo.

Crafty Cat is Back



I have been hard at work measuring,cutting and assembling all new bags and purses.
Not an easy task when I'm spending half the day watching my precious new grandbaby.The dog comes to stay the day with Lola Mary as well.She's a good pup as long as you don't leave her alone,AT ALL !!
But this pesky cat of mine thinks it needs to be right in the middle of my work.
Here is a pic of C.C. using my purse pattern as a personal pop up tent.
ARRGGG ! ! ! !

Crafty Cat takes a nap,On my ironing board ???

Thanks for tuning in for the new adventure of Crafty Cat.

I was planning on doing some ironing today.I have a small stack of bag panels that need ironed before I assemble them.Hard task to do when theres a cat sleeping on your work space.I thought I may go ahead and heat up the iron and if the cats tail gets in the way C.C. will have a flat black tail.:0)
Take a look at the shadows on my star and moon wall.The shadow by the moon is actually a bird.I sat patiently trying to take a picture were you could actually see the shadow of the bird.Problem is they moved way to quick.It was impossible to capture.
We have a tree outside our window that has a bunch of berries on it.The berries have recently attracted a ton of birds.
It has been driving my cats CRAZY.They have been watching the birds bounce around the tree and they hop around the window like they want to go after them.Only it's to cold out and they won't even go outside.The WIMPS !!!!

CRAFTY CAT BRAT


It wasn't good enough to sit in the wagon.Crafty Cat decided to sit on top of the wagon and smash it completely.Good thing my daughter already turned in her project and got credit for it :0)

CRAFTY CAT AT IT YET, AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!



My daughter made a covered wagon.It was for her class project in school.I was pretty busy the day she worked on it so her big sister assisted her.When she brought it home she left it sitting out.Sure enough that troublesome Crafty Cat found a way to get inside the wagon and get comfy.Can you believe it???
Theres more.........


Crafty Cat has influenced the Gray Wonder, who thinks it's o.k. to take a nap in the wagon.As you can see the project was made out of paper and cardboard,therefore with the weight added has given it a flat tire :0)
