Hello Kitty Cat







For a couple month ago Cindy's Mum gave us a couple bunch a stuff, curtains bed spreads ....... I'm a big fan from hand down stuff because I always find something to do with it.

It was sitting in my office for a quiet while. But now, my Pauli is coming home from his oversee tour and guess what I have to finish all my project asap. He will tell me something, if he sees my chaos room.

Anyway, she gave me this shower curtain with this very busy kitty pattern, not my style lady's, so I decided to sew my first quilt for my little angel.







I'll cut 64 cats and 64 pink squares, sew everything together. The inside, you cant see, is one of my old blankets and the baking is a fleece blanked.
I'll found the golden button's in a thrift store, you never ever can have enough button's anyway.

All in all the most costly on this project was 2 yards wonder under and I love it.

I iron it on the cat pull the paper off and iron it on the square, everything stays in place, sew around the cat bum bang done.

Cost all in all around 10$ not bad for an old shower curtain, blankets and a couple button's.

for my princes



My daughter Kim is getting 2 in a couple days but that doesn't stop her from fighting with me over my make up mirror. Finlay I had enough and Cindy's mum donated an old little vintage mirror for Kim.
I didn't liked the colors, what a easy fix.


A little bit of acrylic color and now that is the master piece .










It hangs now on Kimmy's wall and she love to see her face in it plus it keeps her busy at least for a couple min per day.

"This old man"








I found "This old Man" (its an old wing back chair from 1926) in an old basement from an old lady.

It had an hole cat on the pillow, at least it seems like that, in a wicket green hunter green and smelt bad.
But was in love with the shape of it and antique one more thing what I share with my mum the love for antiques (my dad words what you doing with this old crab).
Ether way I thought I could upholster it on my own.

After I researched online how to do, I'll started to run in the next couple stores and bought everything. What I couldn't believe the other blogger that it was a ruff job.

Guys it is not a lie.
I was about to throw it over my porch I was so mad because it took me quiet long and at the end he was resting in my office for like 3month
(plus I had to finish it, if hubby is coming home from oversees he wanna see it, because stupid me I told him about the old man).
 Now I'm almost finish and I love it. It's not perfect but for me it is.


  I love my "old Man"






I'm back

Well, seems like a long time ago that I  was on her. I had a lot going on and some nice projects to finish and still some to go...

I'll start with my not jet finish blanket. It was on my last a post
