Pin the tail on the cat. This, and a pile of tails was a big hit with a bunch of costumed children.

A little lumpy, but it is a rocket ship. The stabilizers are fabric covered cardboard. There is a little round hole in the front where the spaceman goes. I need to find some silver paint. The spaceman is on a lunar mission right now, and left his ship for a bit.

Some Halloween fun! These are 2 of 4 total. Abigail had high hopes and cut out 3 when I was cutting one out for myself. She attempted to make them for her recently favorite people. Guess who got to finish them all? Of course, I never mind having a reason to sit at the machine.

The colors of this bag are really great. Just a few scraps left over from some tab top curtains I made last spring. These curtains, an accent to the bedspread and a few throw pillows changed the whole look of a bedroom. The accent to the bedspread was a bunch of tedious hand-beading. The beads were beautiful but I will think twice before taking on that kind of task again.

A block for the babe. Another fun way to use scraps. One side has a scrap of minky- so soft! Fun to make. I'm getting close to running out of ideas- inspiration is appreciated.

Found some magnet sheets that go through your printer. This picture is before I trimmed them to fit better, but you get the idea. I've had "A held baby..." on the car for many years, just faded over time so I needed a way to replace it. The other, is just an idea I've had- you can guess my inspiration.

Here is a perfect example of why using a pattern is a good idea. This little cutie is a dog. Really, in my mind it was perfect. In reality, just cutting the fabric with my eyes closed- not such a good idea. Fundamentally a bad idea.
He is still played with, but I've heard him being called everything but a dog.
