Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
We had our get together last night - the annual Thanksgiving Eve party,
aka the Pie Party. (Life is short...eat dessert first)
I am thankful.

Blue Bunnies in Love

Must be a blue bunny phase.

...and to the blue bunnies...

An 8 X 10 thread sketch... it say's, "I'm going where the blue bunnies fish".
I don't know if blue bunnies are like pink elephants...
maybe so.

Zig and Zag Orange Cats and other Thread Sketches

I just love orange cats.
I'm really a dog person... but have two cats...
one black
one calico
and no orange cats.
So... here is a tribute to the lovable orange cats out there.
...and to the barn they frequent in their dreams...

...and to the horse that really lives in the barn...

All are 8 X 10 thread sketches.
...and on etsy.
(Smiles)
And... THANK YOU to all your wonderful sweet comments!

Fender Guitar Thread Sketch

Ta da...

Guitar thread sketch update

Here is stage 2.... (stage one was getting shapes & fusing onto canvas). Stage 2 is stitching the outline and details into the guitar. Stage 3 is going to be background. I don't want plain stipple quilting, and I think wild design like on my paisley cat piece would loose the guitar. So... maybe some tan swirls with a splattering of black musical notes... drum roll.... (wish me luck).

Ahhhh Weekend!!

We are getting our first real snow storm here today. I tried to go out and get my 23 yr old son (who does not drive) and bring him over, but I only made it half way and decided with the multiple cars (including mine) struggling to get up a simple hill... that I would turn around and come back home. It is SLICK out there! (And I normally LOVE driving in this stuff).
I made some more happy mini's to list on etsy... Most of them are blue, with a couple pinkies.
And... todays project is to experiment with a fender guitar as per request. Looks okay SO FAR. But we'll have to see what the machine decides to do with it!

BTW... the Jack Pack - or at least the puppies part of it...

are THRILLED at this white stuff falling in the air and piling up to run thru.

HAPPY WEEKEND TO ALL.
