Lily's Quilt Tent

Mom tries to use the quilt to keep cat hair off the chair, but Lily likes to burrow.

Purse Keychain

I bought this heart bead in 2010 and made a necklace. Then a couple months later I redid it. Two years later, I still never wore it so I was going to take it apart, but I had no plan for it and I love it. I considered making a key chain, but I wasn't sure it would hold up to key chain wear and tear. Then I realized how nicely it matched my purse, so I decided to make a purse chain instead.

Kitty Cushion

I went to visit my sister while I was in town for a conference for work. She wanted me to make covers for the arms of her couch so the cats wouldn't sit on them and my brother-in-law wanted a cushion for their wicker footrest. Upon returning home, I found the perfect upholstery fabric to match their living room colors, and it was on clearance for $2 a yard.

Cleo loves the new cushion:

Starry Pin Heads

I came across a tutorial for designing your own pin heads. I had no reason to make some except they were cute and I had shrink plastic. I also happened to have a star punch; however, I was not strong enough to punch through the plastic, so I just dented it where the tips of the stars would be, colored them, and snipped them out with tiny scissors after sticking pins through them. I used every color Sharpie I have.

Post-bake:

They are cute and tiny and colorful, but, as they don't lay flat, they are not very practical for actually pinning fabric.

Birthday Cards

I made two of these cards without any specific birthdays in mind.
