Facelift!

Enjoy browsing my 'new and improved' blog! 

A Spring Newsletter will be published soon. 

Note the 'tabs' at the top of the page now giving expanded content.  I will soon have a list of suggested patterns for beginning sewers as well.

I spent all day sewing today building up my inventory of items for sale - please visit often and feel free to share my retail site blog with others who would appreciate the quality of hand-crafted children's clothing,  home decor and whimsical accessories (http://www.kittywonkus.blogspot.com/).  Need a one-of-a-kind teacher's gift?  Kittywonkus might have just what you are looking for!

Christmas Party 2010

Whooooo's been watching whether you've been naughy or nice?  We had a 'hoot' making owls at our Christmas party this year! 

Pizza, oven-fresh brownies, chips, pretzels, chocolates, fresh pineapple, cran-grape juice . . . and goodie bags to take home with homemade 'turtles'! 

Class mascot - Hoot!

Christmas Party 2009

We spent an hour sewing finishing up some Christmas gifts and crafts and then partied with yummy treats!

I've been having some fun lately . . .

Water bottle jackets for our stainless steel water bottles that are cold to hold when filled with ice water . . .

A lap quilt for my mom . . .

A set of six placemats and napkins for my m-i-l for Christmas . . .

A set of cushions for a client's dining room x 10 . . .

A reversible mouse pad for my computer desk with a removable rice-filled packet for my wrist so I can wash it. My office gets really cold and it's irritating to my wrist resting on the cold desk so I made it out of flannel on one side and soft corduroy on the other.

A repurposed pair of jeans turned into a skirt . . .

A wrist pin cushion from some fun scraps . . .

A denim bag made from a pair of jeans the girls grew out of. The embroidery was on the lower pant leg. Pretty much used up the whole pair of jeans by the time I was done, even one of the back pockets went on the inside of the bag (lined) as a pocket!

A pair of pyjamas for my daughter's class project at school sending jammies to Africa . . .
