Well, I finally got it done and now just have to get it to someone to quilt it. This is just the top that I have pieced together. I do have the back sewed, its just a print and nothing fancy.
I laid it on my DD's queen size bed so it is too big for that. Now I am working on the valances, bedskirt, and the pillow shams...
Am excited to get it this far, and am even liking it. When I get it quilted and bound I'm sure it will hang better and be on a king size bed...
Her bed is so high, that I almost need a stool to get up on it.lol

My GD came over and showed again how to post pictures. For some strange reason when it shows up on the blog area when I'm doing it, the picture doesn't show, just this weird letters and numbers.
Anyhow these are the p.j.'s that I made for my client. I put her name on them but it doesn't show up good. They are the only kind she can wear.

Here's the new kitty Jockamo looking outside trying to find something to watch. He's only 4 months old, so is going to be a big kitty when he gets done growing...

Another shot of him after he climbed up a sm. roll of carpenting and was being in charge...

Here's the other half of the pair. Fergus the labradoodle, who already is huge.... He is getting used to the kitty and lets him climb all over him...

Picture as they were playing....

These are one of the pots of petunias by my back door sprayed with Liquid Fence...
This is one of the pots that I had forgotten to spray with the Liquid Fence . Lesson Learned..... Spray every few days or the deer will eat my flowers for a dessert...

This is one of the pots that survived. Those darn deer. They are not bashful at all and come right up to the doors...lol Will take more pictures of my little container garden and try to post it later... My zuccini are really taking off. This rain made them grow like a foot in the last week.

I must have goofed when I took these first 2 pictures. Must have had the camera on a wrong setting. Silly me. Made 2 of these denim shirts with clown with wording around it. "which you cann't see on picture" Clownin' Around and their name on other side of shirt above pocket.

Sure better take some lessons on camera use.lol

These next 2 pictures my GD took at the craft show today. I really did better than I thought. You really cann't see all the items either in these pictures. But that was it. Have kind of mixture of left-over from past shows...
Got rid of a lot of AG doll clothes... It was fun talking with gals coming thru. Maybe next year I will start going to a few again. It's easier where a table is furnished so I only have to bring my one display thingy. That I can carry, and can get all in my new car that I got last spring. The seats fold forward so I have a longer space to put things like that. My old car I couldn't fit it in. But then I may just do more quilting and not bother. I'm kind of getting too old to do this stuff...lol

Well I finally took time to update my blog. Added these pictures of the fancy bib for those of us who are always dropping part of our meal on our good clothes. Am making some of these for a craft show. They are lined and made out of scarf prints.

This one is an animal print and is chiffon. They all have an elastic hoop to fasten them once you are done and want to put them in your purse. Last picture is of them rolled up for safe keeping... lol I am making many different colors and prints. Will let you know if I sell any...

I finally got this cushion done. First picture is showing the bottom of the cushion. The darker color is fabric that I had to replace old botton with. This is all on the back of the cushion. Had to cut off the back of the cushion, has the 2 different compartments for the stuffing on top and foam on bottom and 2 different zippers. Also had to replace of some of the material in the middle section that goes between where the 2 compartments are. What a job...

This shows the 2 zippers and naugahyde that I constructed it from.

A closer picture to show how it's set into rest of cushion. This is for sure why I have never tried to reupholster for a job. I'm sure there's an easier way to do it, but the rest of cushion is fine. This is the way back that is actually under the back part of couch. They are recliner couches. lol
I just stuffed some fiber fill in it to show some depth so you could tell what shape it is. She will still put reg. cushions and top in it and do some stapling to fasten in in.
